Homebrew Faun Species Details

Fauns have a well-earned reputation for their good spirits, elegance, and beauty, unlike their sleazy, Satyr cousins. Originally descendants of the Feywild, they have an unmatched appreciation for nature, and a strong will to protect and connect with it. Fauns are also well known patrons of the arts, and their regal societies and kingdoms tend to reflect that. Many young Fauns are especially encouraged to pick up some form of artistry, wether it be music, art, literature, dance, or even story-telling. However, even the most honorable of all Fauns are drawn in by the temptations of worldly pleasures, such as alcoholism, passionate encounters, and parties. Their taboo attitude towards these pleasures makes many Faun societies a hotbed for trivial, yet juicy gossip. 

Faun Traits

Fauns are creatures of the fey, and of the arts. Many of their traits should reflect this.

Ability Score Increase

Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Dexterity score increases by 1. Fauns are charmers by nature, and their deer-like legs help them navigate the messy, forest floors they're used to.

Age

Fauns mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live just slightly longer than humans, sometimes exceeding 120 years.

Alignment

Fauns can have any alignment. Most fauns love to try and give off a noble or regal air about them, and for this reason, most fauns are good or neutral. However, their love of worldly pleasures also tends to make most fauns lean towards a chaotic or neutral alignment. The existence of lawful good fauns are few and far between, and have most likely sworn their lives to some sort of religious chastity. Evil fauns exist as well, taking what they want from others to feed their secret, insatiable appetite for pleasure. An evil faun is most likely chaotic. If a faun has a lawful evil alignment, run.
