Homebrew Faun Species Details
Similar in build to that of a Satyr, Fauns possess the antlers and lower half of a cervine with the upper body and head of an attractive humanoid with arms covered in fur. While social by nature, they prefer to live amongst their own kind in large communities within the deepest reaches of temperate forests, far removed from the goings on of the outside world. On the rare occasion that they venture forth from their forest home, Fauns are typically met with a combination of wild fascination and slight weariness from those of the general populace.
Born of the Wild
Like Satyrs, In their physical forms, Faun embody a fusion of humanoid civilization with the freedom of wild beasts. Generally, they look similar to humans, with a range of builds and features. But their deer like antlers and ears, and furred lower bodies and arms sharply distinguish them. Faun's antlers connect to their heads at the base of their skulls, while their legs end in sturdy hooves. short, soft deer-like fur covers their bodies from the waist down and grows down their neck and spine, along their shoulders, and on their forearms.

Age
As full blooded Fey, Fauns have an incredibly lengthy lifespan which makes them functionally immortal. Once born Fauns mature at the same rate as humans, reaching physical maturity around the age of 20 after which point they no longer physically age aside from their antlers which continue to grow throughout their lifetime, shedding them in Fall for 1 and 1/2 months. their antlers show how in tune with nature they are by sometimes growing vines with flowers on them, especially common in druid faun. While they are unable to die of old age Fauns are not invulnerable, as they are still subject to disease and physical injury which can kill them just as easily as it can most other races.
