Homebrew Drowpy Species Details

The offspring of a harpy and a dark elf, the Drowpies have now grown into a race of their own. They are similar to Drow in appearance for the most part, with jet black skin, white hair, and crimson eyes. But their harpy ancestry is revealed by the bird-like wings sprouting from their back, and the luring song they sing to charm their victims. Sadistic and cruel like the bloodlines they stem from, Drowpies are cold and efficient hunters.

Drowpy Traits

The Drowpy's elf and harpy bloodlines mix to grant her the following abilities:

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity Score increases by 2, and your Charisma Score increases by 1.

Age

A Drowpy, like an elf, typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.

Alignment

Drowpies, like both of their ancestral races, naturally gravitate towards evil. Some simply have a passively nefarious nature (Neutral Evil), while others more actively lean into the joy they find in terrorizing others (Chaotic Evil).

Size

Drowpies range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Your wings grant you a flying speed of 30 feet.

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

Drowpies, like Elves, 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.

Darkvision

Drowpies have darkvision that extends out to 60 feet. 

Ancestral Magic

You know the dancing lights cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the charm person spell once with this trait, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

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.
