Homebrew faerie elf Species Details

Physical Description

Faerie elves are roughly the same height as gnomes but weigh roughly 25 to 60 lbs. Faeries tend to have more vibrant eye colors of shimmering greens, blues, and reds. They have a pair of transparent wings that allow them to fly. Other than that they look like most wood elves.

History

Although not many people have seen these crossbreeds, the faerie elf is a mixture of a elf and a fey. They tend to keep their societies and culture hidden from public view. Faerie elves are known to have many conflicts within their society, from what little has been observed. They tend to have very different views of other races and cultures. There are two primary groups, or "Factions", the faeries tend to choose from, and both come with their own set of special traits and physical appearances. There is the Chaotic faction of faerie elves. Their views of other races tend to be more negative and the Faeries of this faction tend to be more violent-minded. These faeries are more focused on their brute strength rather than magic. The second group is known as the Tranquil faction. They tend to view other races equally to their own and are more keen on having open relationships with others. The Tranquil faction tends to focus more on nature magic, similar to a druid.

Society

Faerie elves tend to keep to themselves and tend to hide from other outside sources, mainly due to the harsh discrimination and prejudice their ancestors have experienced. They are buried deep within forests and caves and have a strong sense of family. They tend to have a hard time developing new relations with others, especially if they're neither fey, elf, or faerie. The ones who do leave the villages tend to be brave adventurers determined to prove the old ways are over.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common and   Elvish, and Sylvan. 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.

Creature Type

You are a Fey.

Every creature in D&D, including every player character, has a special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. A race option presented here tells you what your character’s creature type is.

Here’s a list of the game’s creature types in alphabetical order: Aberration, Beast, Celestial, Construct, Dragon, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, Giant, Humanoid, Monstrosity, Ooze, Plant, Undead. These types don’t have rules themselves, but some rules in the game affect creatures of certain types in different ways. For example, the text of the cure wounds spell specifies that the spell doesn’t work on a creature that has the Construct type.

Design Note

The “Creating Your Character” section provides special character-creation rules for the race options in this article. The races that use these rules can coexist seamlessly with races that use other rules. For example, the race options in the Player’s Handbook have built-in ability score increases, while the races in this article don’t. Race options from both sources can adventure together.

If you’d like a race that doesn’t appear in this article, such as an elf or a dwarf, to have similar ability score flexibility, the book Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything provides a rule, called Customizing Your Origin, that gives you that flexibility. That book also gives you the option of building your own race, rather than choosing an existing one. That option is called the Custom Lineage. No matter which option you choose for your character—a race in this article, a Player’s Handbook race, a race modified by the Customizing Your Origin rule, or a Custom Lineage—you can adventure with characters who are built with a different option.

This sidebar builds on the design note in our previous Unearthed Arcana, “Gothic Lineages.”
