Homebrew War Pixie Species Details

War Pixies are created by Wood Land Pixies to combat humans. They are exceedingly rare to find and, if human, you wouldn't want to cross one. 

When created a magical bond is made from the War Pixie to the Wood Land Pixie leader. That bond can only be severed by high level magic, However, when you awoke from your pod, your bond had already been broken. Your town deserted. All that remained was an item hinting at who/what released you.

Ability Score Increase

You are nimble and strong, but are built for war so lack the normal communication skills. You are often accidentally rude and straight up when communicating with creatures. Your Dexterity score and your Strength score is increased by 4. Your charisma score is reduced by 8.

Age

Like most creatures of the Fey wild, War pixies do not age as quickly as the mortal races. Due to being genetically made, War Pixies are “Born” fully matured. They have been said to live for a Thousand years. When War Pixies reach an age where they would die, they turn into a great tree. If killed in battle, after a few days their bodies disappear, and the excess magic within them can often create magical items in the area where they died. 

Alignment

Due to being bred for combat, most War Pixies tend to follow orders, and tend to be happy with anything as long as it suites their goal. You tend to lean more toward Chaotic Neutral or Lawful Neutral. Although, once the spell that compelled them to fight has been severed a war pixie can often follow its own path. Questioning its existence and deciding its own fate.

Magic Scar

Due to their origin and the spell that was placed on them. War Pixies have an innate hate towards humans, they can come to like particular humans and grow fond of them.  However, the magic was so intense it left a scar upon their souls. The scar can make them randomly attack humans even ones thought to be allies. When crit failing (rolling a 1) any charisma check that involves a human. A sense of Rage takes over you. You must succeed a WIS saving throw to a DC of 10 otherwise you must go into combat with the human. 

Battle Trance

War Pixies don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After Resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Size

You where genetically made through magic, to fight in a war against humans. In order to fight them as equals you were made to be their size. Your size is medium.

Speed

You have a walking speed of 15 feet, and a flying speed of 30 feet. However, if your armour doesn't accommodate for wings you cannot fly. When wanting to fly in combat, you are naturally adept at it and do not require an action to begin flying. But if you would like some extra distance you can use your action to get an extra bit of juice out of your wings and carry you an extra 20 feet in any direction. In order to remain flying when your turn ends however, you must be minimum 5 feet above a solid surface.

Magical Genetics

 Due to being altered through magic, you have a dramatically increased health pool compared to other Fae. When levelling up you gain bonus 1d4 maximum HP. This is added to your roll. For example, you have chosen a Fighter as your class. Upon levelling you would roll 1d10 + 1d4 + CON Mod for determining new max HP.

Darkvision

Thanks to your Pixie blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim Conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in Darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in Darkness, only Shades of Gray. 

Magical Resistance.

Being imbued with magic and considered and genetic monstrosity, has granted the War Pixies with extra resistances against magic based attacks and spells. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. War Pixies are also immune to the effects of the Charm Person spell. Cant be put to sleep

Superior Invisibility

War Pixies are highly stealthy and adept magic users. They can use magic to become invisible.  You can use your action to magically turn invisible until your concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell.) Any equipment you are wearing or carrying is invisible with it. You can use this feature once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. 

Innate Fae Magic

Due to being a pixie, and genetically altered through magic, you have innate spells that you have the option of learning when you reach appropriate levels. These are: Enlarge/Reduce, Polymorph, Sleep and Gust. If these spells aren’t used, using a spell slot, you must take a long rest before you can use the spell again. 

Languages

You can speak, read and write Common and Sylvan.
