Homebrew Fairy Species Details
Fairies are little balls of joy, love and humour. They are the charismatic unseen protectors of nature and the fey wilds.
Fairy Traits
Your fairy character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of continued evolution in the fey.Small Hands, Big Dreams
Your diminutive size won't stop you from being the life of the party. I mean, who doesn't love fairies?
You have disadvantage with athletics (STR) checks but have advantage on persuasion (CHA) checks.
Hidden Step
As a bonus action, you can magically turn invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack, make a damage roll, or force someone to make a saving throw. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Friend Of The Forest
You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with beasts and plants. They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return. You have advantage on all Charisma checks you make to influence them.
One With Nature
From your connection and exposure to the fey wilds, you can cause nature to do some fun things. You know the Druidcraft Cantrip.
Ability Score Increase
Your Charisma score increases by 2 and, either, your Wisdom or Dexterity Score increases by 1.
Age
Fairies age very rapidly reaching full maturity in little over 4 years. However, they can live for centuries with older looking fairies being incredibly rare. When a Fairy dies of natural causes such as old age their bodies turn into fairy dust and become one with the fey wilds once more.
Alignment
Fairies love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others’ freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not. Fairies are playful and fun loving, just s likely to help a weary traveller as they are to play a trick on him.
Fairy Dust
You can use your fairy dust to resize any non-living equipment to suit your needs. You can spend 1 hour, or a short rest, coating the equipment in your fairy dust, slowly shrinking it to fit your body. This effect is permanent on non-magical items.
Size
Fairies range from 3-10 inches tall. Your size is Tiny.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 10 feet. You have a flying speed of 30 feet with a hover height of 10 feet. If you end your turn higher than 10 feet you slowly fall until you are within 10 feet of the ground.
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 Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

Posted Nov 2, 2019This is the most balanced Fairy class, I think. Question though: how long does fairy dust last on magical equipment?

Posted Nov 3, 2019I never realised this was public but glad you like it!
So I’ll try and update the actual race but in a nutshell I was thinking 24hrs but you can choose to spend 1 hour of a long rest to repeat it on the same items.
