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! Fairy Traits 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.
