Homebrew Fairy Species Details

Rare and secretive, Fairies gather in hidden communities in sylvan forest, using their natural magic to conceal themselves from threats or to mask their escape should they be detected. They tend to be friendly and good-spirited woodland folk, and they regard elves and good fey as their natural allies. Fairies will befriend small forest animals and rely on them for information about threats that might prowl their lands.

Wary Adventurers

---

As secluded woodland folk, few Fairies would dream of leaving their homes or attempting to fit into other societies. Outcast Fairies, or ones who have had their homes destroyed, might have no other options.

Fairies who are exiled from their community typically commit to undergoing a great task as a gesture of apology to their kinfolk, or would otherwise wander in search of a new place to call home.

Orphaned fairies or those whose communities have been destroyed become crusaders for nature, seeking vengeance for their loss and prevent further destruction of the natural world.

Your transformation lasts 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. While transformed, you have a flying speed of 30, leaving a small trail of sparkling dust behind you as flutter, and once each turn, you can deal extra radiant damage to one target you deal damage to with an attack or spell equal to your level.

Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
