This gives you the “standard” racial spell ability akin to many others including a cantrip, a 1st level spell when you hit your 3rd character level, and a 2nd level spell when you hit 5th.

įairy Magic: You're a magical creature and that entitles you to some racial spells. However, your flight speed is tied to it which is very interesting. Speed: Pretty basic, you’ve got a 30-foot movement speed. And we’re guessing here, but probably around 30-40 pounds. By the artworks and other “small” races your new fairy character should probably be about 3 feet to 4 feet tall, excepting the wings which may be “taller” when extended. Size: You’re small, and not tiny because WotC are cowards! My nerd rant aside, the lineage format also infuriatingly doesn’t really specify their heights or weights other than “small”, so we’re left to speculate. For example, the spells charm person, hold person, and dominate person all specify that their target must be humanoid. Mechanically there are some spells and abilities that will only effect or target “humanoids” specifically, and since you aren’t one as a fairy you can’t be targeted by them, can't be an affected creature and are basically immune to them. Not so much because you’re “fey” but because you’re not “ humanoid”. Super quick stats huh? But let’s dig into each of these features:Ĭreature Type: This may just seem like flavor at first, but it can actually have some major effects. You can’t use this flying speed if you’re wearing medium or heavy armor. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).įlight: Because of your wings, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can also cast either of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Once you cast faerie fire or enlarge/reduce with this trait, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast the enlarge/reduce spell with this trait. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the faerie fire spell with this trait. Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.įairy Magic: You know the druidcraft cantrip. So, with lineages all you’re really concerned with is the features. Let’s go through the fairy’s features in their raw text and then go through what they’ll mean for your new fairy character in DnD 5E: Fairy Statisticsįairies don’t have any subraces in dnd 5e, and they use the newer “lineage” format rather than the classic “race” format so we aren’t really dealing with your ability scores (since you can pick whatever bonuses you want). Dungeons & Dragons has given you the green light to be creative.

You could even make another fey creature like a faerie dragon, pixie, sprite, or a tooth fairy work. You want to be covered in purple polka-dots? Go for it.

As a fairy you’ve got one of the greatest blank slates to play with out of practically any of the other playable races, encompassing basically anything vaguely like fairy creatures you can come up with. You could make the edgiest goth moth or a benevolent creature that's the sweetest cheery butterfly. Your new fairy character could be a literal bug person, or a glamorous elf with fairy wings, so long as it passes as a denizen of the feywild.

This wide range and the vagueness of the base descriptions means that so long as it feels vaguely “fey” you’ve got free reign to do it.

The potential characteristics for these fey creatures they suggest range from bird wings to insect legs, multicolor skin to shimmering magic effects, or just a generic fairy. The descriptions they give us for our new 5th edition fairy option are very vague and that’s a good thing. Bright and cheery, dark and tricksy, maybe either depending on their mood, step with me into the lands of the fey as we go through everything you need to know in this D&D fairy character sheet and more! They’re essentially small elves with wings, but with creative possibilities as vast as the feywild. They’re a flying race I’m sure a ton of these magical creatures will be fluttering soon into 5e campaigns everywhere. Brand new to Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, The Wild Beyond the Witchlight gave us the opportunity to play fairies with a new race option.
