Homebrew Faun Species Details


Fauns are shy and reclusive, but once they know you, they become rambunctious. They are loyal friends. They love to play games, drink, talk, and just be rowdy.

Faun Traits

Your Faun is agile and fast.

Mask of the wild.

You can hide yourself when only slightly obscured by natural things, such as fog, rain, leaves, and snow.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

Age

Fauns reach adulthood at about 15, and live to about 60, although the oldest faun has lived to 103.

Alignment

Fauns love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others’ freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not. 

Size

Fauns range from under 5 to over 5 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, 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.

Keen Senses

You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Trance

Fauns 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.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
