Homebrew Faerie Pixie Species Details

Fairy’s are mostly known for their smaller winged forms, known to most as their pixie form. However, all fairies can transform into a larger giant form growing about a foot for each inch tall they are in their pixie form. In giant form, they are even lighter than elves ranging from 90 to 135 lbs. As a pixie, they are almost weightless to the point where it is nearly impossible to measure or compare the weights of fairies in their pixie form. Their overall build is heavily dependent upon the elemental affinity of the fairy, but usually, they are skinny and lean. Fairy skin tones and hair color can be as dark or light as that of a human, but it is always a hue of their elemental color at varying degrees. All fairies glow in varying degrees when they are in pixie form as well as their giant form, although it is usually very slight as a giant. A fairy’s clothing always displays an affiliation with its element by means of color, motifs, symbols, and/or accessories.  

Fairy Traits

Fairies age very slowly, if at all. Fairies are as wild as the elements of nature they were created from, but also know that nature has rules. You are immune to being charmed, and can't be put to sleep by magic. You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Fairies have the ability to change between their pixie and giant forms at will, with the use of an action. Both forms have their pros and cons, however. Your base walking speed is 30 feet, and your base flying speed is 25 feet. When in giant form the fairy lacks the ability to fly, but base walking speed stays at 30 feet. Pixie form is the most well-known form. Pixies have the ability to fly and are able to dash through the air, the same as when walking in giant form. This ability makes fairies extremely mobile, but it has its cons as well. When in pixie form, fairies are unable to use any attacks, or spells due to their small size. Flying vertically counts as difficult terrain. In giant form, fairies can use their normal attacks and spells as any other humanoid can, but lack the capability to fly. 

Fairy Dust

When cast, a fine powder was created. It was tossed into the air, and every creature and object within 10 ft (3 m) became invisible. The creatures were then invisible to sight and detection, even magically assisted such as using a detect invisibility spell. Creatures were able to move and go into combat while invisible. The dust had to be used immediately after being created. The length of time creatures and objects were invisible for was determined by the caster's skill level. Creatures and objects made invisible with the dust were vulnerable to exposure if the dust of appearance or true seeing spells were used against them. The reverse of this spell was revealing dust. Like pixie dust, it was tossed into the air and every invisible creature and object within 10 ft (3 m) became visible.

Greater Invisibility

Butterfly Wings

 Many patterns carry multiple colors while some only carry a single color in varying shades; your wings may also come in many designs that are both elegant and subtle. You carry a small amount of fuzz around your neck and on your arms, as well as the long elegant antennae of butterflies.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 1.

Fairy Dust. You may use your action to allow an ally within 20 feet of you to fly with a speed of 30 feet. This lasts for 1 minute and the target cannot ascend above 10 feet. You regain use of this trait after you finish a long rest.
