Homebrew Snow Fairy Species Details
Ice fairies are most easily identified by their wings, which look like arrays of ice crystals either protruding from their back or simply floating behind them. They tend to have hair and eye colors ranging in the cold end of the spectrum; from violet through to blue, in varying shades, though they can rarely seep into some greenish colors as well, especially with their eyes. Their presence can easily drop the temperature around them by as much as 1, or even 2, degrees.
Ice fairies are usually found in arctic regions, or other regions frequently bathed in extremely cold and snowy landscapes. These fairies tend to be hardy, but thick-headed compared to other fairies, often having narrow views and difficulty understanding concepts.
Snow Fairy Traits
Being born a fae grants faries a strong connection to magicAbility Score Increase
Your charisma increases by +2 and dexterity by +1
Age
It is believed they mature at the same rate as humans but their full lifespan is unknown. No one has ever seen an "Old" looking fairy. Once Fairies mature they look the same age for the rest of their lives, the oldest known fairy lived to be a few millennia and eventually died due to food poisoning rather than old age.
Alignment
Fairies tend to have chaotic personalities but rarely mean any actual harm, they rarely listen to orders or follow rules unless there is an incentive. While both evil and good fairies exist, they are much more likely to stay neutral in most matters unless they are directly affected.
Size
Your small and slender frame is built for flight rather than strength. Your size is small. Most fairies only reach between 2 to 3ft tall and only weigh around 20lbs.
Speed
You've flown your entire life, rarely needing to walk anywhere because why would you? You can fly! Your base Walking speed is only 10ft due to your small size but you have a flying speed of 40ft, but only when you are wearing light or no armor.
Hover
When under an effect that would drop your speed to 0, instead of falling you instead can hover in place. If something attempts to pull you out of the sky you may make a dexterity saving throw to attempt to dodge their grasp. You do fall to the ground if knocked unconscious and if higher than 5ft you automatically fail one death saving throw.
Cold Blooded
You are used to the icy cold temperatures of your homeland. As such you are acclimated to extreme cold and ignore difficult terrain caused by Ice and Snow, but are more prone to exhaustion when exposed to extreme heat and require more water than the average fairy to stay hydrated.
Fae Blood
Due to your fae blood, you have advantage to being charmed and you cannot be magically put to sleep.
Icy Presence
Due to the nature of your being, you innately know the Frostbite cantrip.
Language
You can read, write and speak Common, Sylvian and one other language of your choice
