Homebrew Faerie - Pixie Species Details
Shy, Playful, Mischievous.
Standing barely a foot tall, fairies resemble diminutive elves with gossamer wings like those of dragonflies or butterflies, bright as the clear dawn and as luminous as the full moon rise. Curious as cats and shy as deer, fairies go where they please. They like to spy on other creatures and can barely contain their excitement around them. The urge to introduce themselves and strike up a friendship is almost overwhelming; only a fairy's fear of being captured or attacked stays its hand. Those who wander through a Faerie's glade might never see the creatures, yet hear the occasional giggle, gasp, or sigh. Fairies array themselves like princes and princesses of the fey, wearing flowing gowns and doublets of silk that sparkle like moonlight on a pond. Some dress in acorns, leaves, bark, and the pelts of tiny woodland beasts. They take great pride in their regalia and beam with joy when they are complimented on their ensembles.
Faerie - Pixie Traits
An enchanted race born of raw fey magic, fairies are the diminutive tiny folk of the Feywild.Alignment
The vast majority of fairies are chaotic, and are almost never evil. They value fun and fair play highly, though their definition of these values often differ from the norm.
Size
Adult fairies stand between 1 and 1.5 feet tall and weigh no more than 10 pounds. Your size is Tiny.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 10 feet.
Winged Fey
You have a set of insect-like wings of your choosing, granting you a flying speed of 30 feet. Your wings can carry you no higher than 30 feet above any solid or liquid surface, and you cannot fly in Medium- or Heavy armor.
Extended flight over windy environments will exhaust your tiny body. Make a Constitution Saving Throw DC 12 + number of hours of prolonged flight. On a failed save, you gain a level of exhaustion.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.
Feeble
Your small body makes you unfit for feats of strength. You have a max Strength score of 6.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Sylvan. And your handwriting is 75% smaller than usual.
Ability Score Increase
Because of your tiny, elusive physique, your Dexterity score increases by 2. Your childlike innocence causes your Charisma score to increase by 1.
Age
Fairies mature at a faster rate than to 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 faerie's past memories.
