Forest Faun
As a Forest Faun, you have a deep understanding of the great woods and their denizens both plant and animal. Your hind legs may appear more deer-like than goat-like, and your hair is likely to be brownish, with or without white spots. Bows and slings feel right in your hands and hunting comes naturally.

Natural Camouflage. You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.
Forest Magic. You know one cantrip of your choice from the Druid spell list. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.
Mountain Faun
More Mountain Goat than domesticated Goat, these Fauns are at home on the uneven and extremely steep terrain of mountains. These Fauns tend to be deeper thinkers and scholars, preferring botany over bushcraft and animal husbandry over hunting. They still consider themselves close to nature, but they see it in an academic approach. Most of the Aristocracy of this subrace will be a remnant from the old kingdoms.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 1.
Adapted hooves. Your people have adapted to mountainous terrain and are able to climb with ease. You gain 20 foot climb speed.
Nimble Footed. Since mountain fauns are well suited to difficult terrain, they ignore the extra movement cost of non-magical difficult terrain.
Plains Faun
These Fauns are more rural than their city-dwelling counterparts, preferring an agrarian lifestyle in villages or small towns farming and living off the land. Faun villages are typically communal-living arrangements of up to several hundred Fauns in houses that will contain up to 30 families each. A central living area with both sleeping and private chambers are surrounded by animal pens and fields in a radial arrangement to the other buildings. These Fauns are more antelope-like than the others, being able to jump great heights and run very fast to catch their prey and avoid becoming it.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.
Strider. Your legs are naturally better at jumping, your jump distance is doubled.
See Them Coming. You have advantage on initiative rolls while in plains, grasslands and other open natural environments.
City Faun
Centuries of civilization have taken the wild out of these Fauns. Their legs are the most goat-like, and the hair on them is much less rough than their cousins. They make good merchants and are frequently seen as traders between countries, or as spies to those less trusting of them.

Merchants Tongue. You have proficiency in the Persuasion skill.
