Homebrew Fairy Species Details
Fairies are a fey-like race most commonly found in the feywild, often living in communities of small treehouses. They are known for their ability to transform into giants, as well as pixies, and their talent for deception. Although fairies can't directly lie, they are the masters of bending the truth. Fairies often don't wander far from their communities, partly because of the safety it grants, and partly because fairies are generally not very adventurous. Opposite to popular belief, they don't seek out human villages to wreak havoc, but rather stay home and care for their own family.

Speed
Your base walking speed is 15 feet, and your flying speed is 25 feet.
Darkvision
Due to your small, fragile form, you have learnt to look for danger, even in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 ft, and total dark within 30 ft. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of black and white.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.
Transformation
Fairies appear most often in their fairy form, because this one is considered the most versatile of the three forms. Once a fairy transforms from one form to another, normal clothes don't change with them, often resulting in embarrassment. Luckily, fairy folks have found a way to magically imbue their clothes to grow with them, which has made switching form more attractive to people. A fairy can stay in their preferred form as long as they like, but can only switch after 10 minutes. This transformation takes an action to perform.
Pixie
While in pixie form, you cannot lift items bigger than your own size, with exception extremely light items such as foam or plants, or weapons, granted you have proficiency in them. You are also able to squeeze through small holes and cracks, and add a +1 to your stealth automatically.
Giant
While in giant form, you are able to carry things up to twice your size. and your AC lowers with 2, seeing as you are a much bigger target than usual. Due to your scale, you have disadvantage on stealth, but take a +1 on any strength checks.
Fairy Flight
With a speed of 30 ft, you have the ability to fly for an endless amount of time, however, after a few hours of flying you might feel a little more tired than usual. Your flight requires a pair of wings, which you are born with. If for some reason these wings don't function anymore, you are unable to fly.
Languages
You can speak, read and write Common and Sylvan.
