Homebrew Dark Fae (Imp) Species Details
Dark Fae aren't very strong or big so they rely on manipulation to accomplish things such as convincing kingdoms to go to war or even petty things such as making a thief steal back something they traded with a mean merchant. They almost never see the big picture and typically only do things to make it 'interesting'. They enjoy eating and drinking but it all tastes the same except for sweets; they hate sweet food and will get sick if they eat too much of it.
In the Maledictus Umbra Plane, everything is pitch black and all Dark Fae sleep in a pile of each other for warmth. They care deeply for their own kind and they have a king, whom they admire. (The King is his name and he is literally a bottomless pit that often sucks a few of the Dark Fae into itself only to never be seen again, much like a black hole but with a stolen crown tightly secured by the entrance.)
Dark Fae skin ranges from leather to latex to scaly to blob, with blob being the most ideal to them. They can do magic and almost all of them have the gift of gab.
They cannot swim and are resistant, but not immune to fire.

They never depend on their strength so it's useless (they typically have scrawny limbs)

Posted Aug 30, 2018Hey Everyone, there was a mistake when I published, I had written a lot more so I apologize for the confusion. (I was trying to Edit it but it wouldn't let me sorry I'm still new to this whole thing > n <')
The Dark Fae come from the Maledictus Umbra Plane (literally Cursed Shadow) and they range from either tiny to small. They are pitch black except for their 0 to 5 eyes, and sometimes teeth. They have claws and, a pointed tail, horns, and fangs (not required but is an option; they come in a variety of shapes). They are typically impish in nature and lean more towards the evil alignment; exception once every 10,000 years there is a defect amongst them and one will be more neutral. This defect will be casted out and shunned unto the more horrific place the Dark Fae know; a neighboring faerie kingdom! (there, the defect grows among the faeries as one of their own and lives a normal life).
The Dark Fae must leave the comfort of their black-hole of a den in order to find a special someone. Once found, they encourage, taunt, and torture this person into making bad choices and doing bad things they normally wouldn't do.
They have +2 CH, +1 INT, and -1 STR, and at level 1, some of them can earn their wings, but lose 1 CH since they appear more 'daemonic'. (Wings can grant +1 STR for only 1 minute for the item they are carrying; can only carry up to 10 pounds; wings on blob body type can't fly).
Once per fight, and only lasting one round, they can become 2d like and actual shadow and dodge attacks; in this form, they can interact with another's shadow.
They cannot swim and are resistant (NOT immune) to fire. Dark Fae are capable of magic and speak: Common, Elven, and Sylvan.
Any other questions you may have, feel free to ask! I also accept constructive criticism :)
