Homebrew Fae-Blooded Species Details

The Fae touched are humanoids influenced by the ebb and flow of the Fey Wild. Be it being born in the Fey wild to humanoid parents, a fey ancestor, or simply being born near where a portal to the plane is found, their relationship to something of its nature is clear. Their physical form resembles whatever manner of humanoid they were born to, but there’s a brightness to their skin that's abnormal, and wings which grow stronger every day. They can fold their wings in tight, to almost hide them entirely beneath armor and clothing, but the flecks along their body are distinct to any who may know the Fey well or know a Fae Touched. They can almost instantly recognize each other by mannerisms and knowing what they’re looking for. 

Ability Score: Your Dexterity and Charisma scores both increase by 2.

Age. Fae-Touched mature at the same rate as humans, but they live long lives, usually being killed before the end of their natural lifespans.

Alignment. Fae-Touched tend toward neutrality, often more interested in their own gains than those of the other races or the laws of the land.

Size. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet. You bear wings like your ancestors but cannot fly naturally with them, they just allow you to glide. At 5th level, your wings have become stronger. You gain a 30ft fly speed

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Magic Resistance. Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Provokation. You have the ability to project the beguiling and fearsome presence of the fey. As an action, you can cause each creature in a 10-foot cube originating from you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your save DC. The creatures that fail their saving throws are all charmed or frightened by you (your choice) until the end of your next turn. Charisma is your ability modifier for it.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Faerie Fancy. Your people are renowned both for their love of music, and the widespread art of mixing poisons, policies, and remedies. You are proficient in either the herbalism kit, or any one musical instrument of your choice.

Fire Within. You know the faerie fire spell and can cast it using this trait once. Once you use this feature to cast the spell, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it.

Languages. You can speak, read and write Common and Sylvan.
