Homebrew Faun Species Details

Listen son, Fauns are just like you and I. They build, they destroy, they love, they hate. The only difference is ... they really don't like tile floors" His son stares questioningly "Hooves, no traction." - Anonymous

Cow ears and tails, horns and legs like a goat separates this race from humans, as well as their predisposition. These Fey-ancestry humanoids are light-heated and prone to taking it easy. They breed often and stay fertile most of their lives, having litters of 2-8 kids every decade or so.

No look-a-likes

Fauns are a strange race in this regard. They can range in height from 3.5 feet to just over 6 foot., with most sitting around 5.5 feet. Their fur runs the gamut of colors and styles. Their builds vary from thin and willowy to big and bulky. Because of this, Faun families can look almsot nothing alike somtimes. Wierdly enough, Half-Faun children can be born with any or none of their Faun parent's traits, but their aptitude for creativity generally shines through.

Long Lives

Though these creatures expire much faster than say Elves or Dwarves, Fauns boast almost double the life span of humans, being around 150 - 200 years. Because of this, Fauns share a perspecrtive on life and time more closer to a humans than other races. They live their lives with joy and glee, not knowing what tomorrow brings.

Widespread Homelands

They are native to everywhere from steep mountain ranges to deep forests to wide-open plains and have adapted to their surroundings over long periods of time. Even a city variety can be found near forests. Being an inquisitive race has helped them not only settle but thrive in hostile regions.

Innate Creativity

A Faun would be most content working as a craftsmen or researcher or farmer, though their innate nimbleness make them fantastic hunters and fighters. This spark of creativity could from the High Sidhe Fey some Faun claim they descend from, or it could have just formed out of neccesity of living in multitude of regions.

Subraces

Due to the fact that Fauns live in several regions, subraces were bound to happen. It's only natural, a mountain Faun wouldn't need their thick coat in the forests. But in the end, there isn't too much difference between each variety.

Trance

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.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Sylvan literature is rich and varied, and but not well known among other races. Many druids learn the language so they can speak to the natural forces.
