Homebrew Bell Sprite Species Details

Forest Protectors

Sprites build little villages in the boughs of trees and willing treants, in verdant glades brightened by moss, wildflowers, and toadstools. Wild nature thrives, and the sprites allow no trespassers. When intruders are spotted, the sprites lead them astray with ominous rustling from the bushes and distant snapping twigs. Creatures foolish enough to persist in intruding on a sprite's territory are stung with poisoned arrows and lulled into a senseless sleep. While they slumber, the sprites make good their escape, retreating to an even more secluded area of the forest.

Similar mishaps in many areas of terrain where these little guardians dwell. Tread lightly and respectfully or pay the price.

Heart Seers

Sprites can sense whether a creature is good or evil by the sound and feeling of its beating heart. Weighing the balance of a creature's past actions, a sprite can tell whether its heart beats rapidly in love or flags in sorrow, or whether it is darkened by hate or greed. The sprite's power to perceive the heart always shows the truth, because the heart can't lie.

Because they are judges of the heart and favor good creatures, sprites oppose the will of evil fey and pledge to thwart evil archfey at every turn. If they encounter adventurers on a quest to rid their forest of an evil fey creature or goblinoid menace, they will pledge their support and even come to their aid when the adventurers least expect it. Unlike pixies, sprites rarely indulge in frivolous merriment and fun. They are firm warriors, protectors, and judges, and their stern bent causes other fey to consider them overly dour and serious. However, a fey that respects the sprites' territory finds them staunch allies in times of trouble.

However, this is not always the case, as there is a time and season for all the sprite kind. Some clans are not talked about and are served for times of war or defense when nothing else seems to work... They are shunned by the other clans, and they are ok with that because they understand not all can handle their level of commitment to do whatever it takes, by any means necessary, however long it takes.

Clansmen and Poison Brewers

Sprites hold their kin at the highest of esteem; they never harm a fellow clansmen or do any mischief. Their clans divided up by sub-races which can be easily spotted and recognized. They mostly form either a hierarchy, a matriarch, or a patriarch, and sometimes in rare cases, they are run by a council of their elders.

In their forest domains, sprites brew toxins, unguents, antidotes, and poisons, including the sleep poison with which they coat their arrows. They venture.far into the woods to harvest rare flowers, mosses, and fungi, sometimes crossing dangerous territory to do so. If desperate, sprites even steal their ingredients from the gardens of hags.
