Homebrew Fairy Folk Species Details

Fairies rarely grow to more than one foot tall, and generally weigh no more than a few pounds. Humanoid in shape, their features are decidedly elf-like, with pointed ears and delicate facial features. Fairy folk have been seen with skin, hair and eye colors from anywhere on the spectrum. All fairy folk have insect-like wings, though the exact shape of those wings varies (see below). 

Fairy Folk Traits

Born of nature itself, fairy folk protect the groves and meadows from those who would despoil it.

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.

Fey Creature

As a creature of the forest, you are known as a friend to animals.  Beasts and other mundane animals will not willingly attack you unless you attack them first.

Ability Score modifiers

Your Dexterity, Charisma, and Wisdom scores are increased by 2.  However, due to your small size, your Strength score is reduced by 4.

Languages

You can speak, read and write Common and Elvish.

Alignment

Fairy Folk are wild, free spirits, born of the untamed wilderness. As such, they lean heavily toward the unruly nature of chaos.  Additionally, their link to the natural world and preference for freedom means that fairy folk are most often good or sometimes neutral. Evil fairy folk are extremely rare, and are usually only the result of meddling of evil creatures trying to corrupt fairies for their own purposes. 

Speed

Your short stature gives you a walking speed of 15 feet. Most fairy folk have wings that resemble those of insects, like butterflies or dragonflies, and begin flying from the moment they first gain awareness.  As such, you are an expert flyer capable of hovering in place for hours on end, which gives you a fly speed of 30 ft. 

Small size

You small size and ability to fly make you a difficult target to hit.  You gain +2 to armor class.
