Homebrew Faun Species Details
Fauns are fey creatures of boundless energy, driven by curiosity, passion, and a love of revelry. They look like a blend of human and goat: humanoid torsos, expressive faces, curling horns, pointed ears, and goatlike legs ending in hooves. Their movements are quick and lively, and they often seem to dance even when simply walking.
They embody the spirit of freedom and joy, living life as a celebration. Music, wine, storytelling, and mischief are central to their culture. Fauns rarely worry about the future; they chase experiences, sensations, and adventures with an almost childlike enthusiasm.
Despite their playful nature, they are still fey, which gives them an otherworldly charm and a knack for slipping away from danger. Their emotions run hot—delight, anger, sorrow, and excitement all come easily and intensely.

Languages
Your character can read, speak, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player's Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. Your DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.
Ram
You can use your head and horns to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Magic Resistance
You have advantage on saving throws against spells.
Mirthful Leaps
Whenever you make a long jump or a high jump, you can roll one D8 + your dexterity modifier and add the number rolled to the number of feet you cover, even when making a standing jump. This extra distance costs movement as usual.
Reveler
As an embodiment of revelry, you have proficiency in the Performance and Persuasion skills, and you have proficiency with one musical instrument of your choice.
