Homebrew Faerie - Pixie Species Details
Shy, Mischievous, Wild
Standing almost a foot tall, Pixies resemble small elves bearing insect features and light wings like those of dragonflies or butterflies. Pixies are a mischievous race who enjoy meddling with other civilized species when they aren't communing with animals and insects. They enjoy playing pranks on "bigger folk"- hiding small items in hidden coves, stealing coin and putting hexes and minor curses on those who cross them.
Feywild Natives
Most Pixies dwell in small forest villages hidden among the trees. Pixies gather from nature and rarely eat other animals, choosing instead to feed almost exclusively on fruits, nuts, vegetables and seeds. Pixies clothe themselves most often with flower petals, mosses, barks, silks and other naturally sourced materials. Pixies that travel outside of their Feywild origins can commonly be seen wearing scraps of fabrics and other textiles found around populated areas.
Faerie - Pixie Traits
Your elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of elven refinement.Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 3. Your tiny appearance causes your Charisma score to increase by 1.
Age
Pixies mature at a faster rate than humans, but stop aging shortly thereafter, to live a life of permanent youth. Their deaths are somewhat temporary, if their crystals are recovered and brought back to a Birthing Tree to be magically restored. The longer duration of the return to the Birthing Tree will diminish the Pixie's past memories.
Size
Pixies range from 1-1.5 feet tall and weigh no more than 10 pounds. Your size is Tiny.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 10 feet.
Darkvision
Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of violet.
Keen Senses
You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Trance
Pixies don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish and Sylvan. Your handwriting is 75% smaller than usual.
