Homebrew Feytouched Species Details

Born from human lineage, Feytouched are a beautiful and rare race of humanoids which are created when both parents have spent a very large amount of their life with magical creatures or items within the fey. This can also happen from spending a prolonged amount of time whilst pregnant, around fey or eating an unusually large amount of fey vegetation during pregnancy. (Races that influence this alteration need to magical and reside within the fey entirely, satyr and such in the physical realm would not cause this mutation).

The magic mutates the young human in the womb and when this baby is born, they are born part fey with a strong connection to the fey also.

Physically traits include shiny skin which shimmers blues and greens almost like the shimmer of a reflection on water, shimmery bright coloured eyes, a pearlescent hair colour or having bumps on the head for fey horns or antlers to grow from.

When growing into adulthood each Feytouched look uniquely different from each other depending on what physical traits they have been born with, but they all have the natural ability (change self) to look like an average human to blend in.

The DNA of a Feytouched is not that of a human, they are their own race and will birth only Feytouched young.

They aren’t generally feared or shunned in society like Tieflings could be, but they do get attention for being wildly bright coloured different, often getting strange looks as this race struggles to blend in unless presenting themselves as a human.

Feytouched are very unique creatures who could have interests in anything at all that they put their effort into, but tend to bode well with magical classes.
