Homebrew Feyborn Species Details

 

FEYBORN

As young Sylvia conjures a fireball, a dragon roars and pushes her off a mountain. As she falls, she stops, seemingly pausing in midair, then slowly floats back up while letting loose the inferno of magic. She blinks, then readies her next attack.

Feyborn are to the Fey as Dragonborn are to Dragons. Made by the elf gods or powerful fey, these rare humanoids look like elves with golden or silver face tattoos. These tattoos are actually magical runes that feyborn are born with, granting them flight and magic.

Fey Heritage

Feyborn look very much like elves. The main difference is that they are much taller, and are born with golden or silver runes inscribed on forehead and arms. Though they are tall, they are thin, typically standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 150 pounds or less. Their hands and feet are small, thin and with naturally golden or silver nails. Their eyes are either bright gold or silver.

Separation

To any feyborn, the separation is a simple fact, one that cannot be changed. The war between the Seelie and Unseelie sparks the wars with the feyborn. The golden and silver Feyborn will forever be enemies, for they are bonded to the fey in a way that dictates their every movements. The seelie and unseelie feyborn (gold and silver, respectively) are, and seemingly will always be at war. As the Seelie rule the feywild, so do the golden feyborn. When the Unseelie wreck havoc, so do the silver. This is the way of things.

Feyborn Names

Feyborn have identification names given at birth, but they need not. Each feyborn is known to each and every other, as the rarity of this race is astounding.

Use the elf names in the players handbook.

Silver Feyborn

The benefits shown here are assuming you want to be a golden feyborn. If you would like to be a silver feyborn, your psionics trait instead gives you the inflict wounds spell, and you can chose to change your flying speed to a climbing speed of 20 feet.
