Homebrew Fia'ri Species Details

Despite their human-like build and conventional hair colours, fia'ri are easily recognized by their skin, which possesses a distinct emerald hue. They are also capable of growing facial hair. Because of this, many other races perceive the fia'ri as a separate offshoot of humanity or as magically altered humans.

Plantlike Anatomy
The internal anatomy of a fia'ri differs drastically from that of typical humanoids. Their blood is a thick, green sap rich in chlorophyll, and instead of bones, their bodies are structured from resilient, living cellulose fibers. Their skin is silky and pleasant to the touch, reminiscent of young leaves, and they carry a natural herbal scent, often slightly sweet or spicy.
Due to this unique anatomy, their bodies can absorb moisture through any surface upon contact with water, and magical elixirs affect them even when simply poured onto an open wound, as their plant tissue rapidly drinks in the healing moisture.

Between Light And Shadow
Fia'ri  culture is built around a strict dichotomy of day and night. Light is revered as a blessing, while darkness is viewed as ominous, unpredictable, and perilous. The majority of fia'ri adhere to rigid superstitions and signs of luck that govern their daily routines. They lead peaceful lives close to nature and doing some gardening, avoiding dungeons and nocturnal travel, preferring the predictability of cozy, sun-drenched homes.

Fia'ri Adventurers
Yet, exceptions inevitably arise- those who feel the breath of fate, a nudge of luck, or those who simply cannot endure the monotony of everyday life. These fia'ri leave their homes behind to wander the wider world. While settled kin view them as reckless or even mad, it is these daredevils who become the subjects of ballads and legends. Adventurers tend to hold a much softer view of their culture's superstitions, accepting darkness simply as a facet of reality rather than a source of pure evil.

Fia'ri Traits

Fia'ri Traits

Flexible Fibers

You gain proficiency in Acrobatics.

Nerveless Body

Your fibrous musculature and lack of a traditional nervous system protect your body from shock. You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Stunned condition.

Sugar Sensitivity

Your unique plant-based metabolism processes toxins differently. You are immune to the effect of alcohol intoxication. However, refined sugar acts as a potent intoxicant for you; consuming a single tablespoon of refined sugar induces a behavioral intoxication equivalent to heavy drinking for a human.

Vegetative System

You do not need to sleep. Instead, you can finish a Long Rest in 6 hours if you spend those hours motionless. While resting in this way, you remain fully aware of your surroundings.

Fia'ri Magic

You know the Dancing Lights cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the Entangle spell with this feature without expending a spell slot. Once you cast Entangle with this feature, you must finish a Long Rest before you can cast it in this way again.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this species).
