Homebrew Fey Touched Species Details
Bounding across the wilds, the fey touched embody a spirit of freedom and travel. The fey touched take on many forms and exist through many different means. Some have made alliances with powerful fey, some are born fey touched while others are suffused with the power of the realm. Those born tend towards more idiosyncratic traits, while those created within the strange realm often seem little changed from their original race, but all are infused with the magicks of the fey realm. Some share characteristics with animals, while others merely look like elves.

Ability Score Increase
When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one of those scores by 2 and a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy.
The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You’re free to follow those suggestions or to ignore them. Whichever scores you decide to increase, none of the scores can be raised above 20.
Languages
Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of widespread languages to choose from. The DM is free to add or remove languages from that list for a particular campaign.

Posted Jan 21, 2025Using this homebrew, I have noticed that the Quickened ability is not adding the proficiency to the initiative. If this could be updated so it adds the proficiency on the character sheet that would be awesome!
