Homebrew Forest Pixie Species Details

Small, Swift, and Vibrant

Forest Pixies are tiny little creatures. Most of them fit in the palm of a hand. However, what they lack in size, they certainly make up for in speed. Able to fly at a speed of 40 and make quick turns mid-flight, they are swift and agile, making fast flight through forests a simple task. They are also adorned with hair in the color of the forests. These pixies are very beautiful to the eye. They also dress accordingly. They often wear natural colors mixed with fine earthy of-sets to make a good blend with their homes.

Deceptive Age

Most Forest Pixies can live a natural age of several hundred years, though their oldest observed age has not quite been discovered. Most of these pixies choose not to divulge their age as it is more entertaining to keep others guessing. A never-ending youthful demeanor masks their age. Even until late in their life, they maintain a visible age much lower than their actual. It's only until they reach the near end of their lives that they begin to show signs of elder status.

Magic Talents

Forest pixies are born with a certain magic type; they can use this talent with ease after practice; some use it for growing plants, befriending animals, or creating a flame.

Camouflaged Existence

Though quite adventurous, Forest pixies usually live in forests with vibrant colors to blend in better with their surroundings. Most colonies reside in the fey wilds, as is their origin. However, some rumors say that a few smaller colonies have been found in other realms (these are still considered rumors).

Adventurous Lifestyle

Forest pixies are very adventurous, often going out on excursions in small groups to look for new things to satiate their hunger. They tend to stay aloof, however, trying not to come into direct contact with other creatures. If discovered, they usually flee and hide as soon as possible, with a few exceptions. Forest pixies tend to be timid and nonviolent. However, if they are threatened or defending their colonies, they will jump into action. They are able to use their surroundings to camouflage themselves in order to hide or create ambushes if needed.

Pixies Allure

Once during your turn, as a bonus action, you may attempt to charm a selected target.

You must make a roll (d20+ your charisma modifier) against your target's (d20 + charisma modifier) roll.

If you succeed, your target is now charmed for 1 in-game minute, or if you (yourself) deal damage to that target. After the charm has worn off, you will be unable to charm that target again for 24 hours.

Likewise, if you fail, your target will be immune to your charms for 24 hours.

Active Camo

You are able to magically turn yourself invisible as a full action in combat or any time out of combat. Once invisible, you can't be targeted by enemy attacks unless your presence has been made apparent. Your invisibility will be dropped by anti-magic or if you make an attack. (this ability cannot be canceled by a counter-spell reaction)

Pixie Talent

You may choose to learn one of these spells. (Animal Friendship, Detect Magic, Enlarge/Reduce, Faerie Fire, Plant Growth, Produce Flame)

You may use the chosen spell without a spell slot up to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
