Faith, Trust, and Fairy Dust
Brand new to Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, The Wild Beyond the Witchlight gave us the opportunity to play fairies with a new race option. They’re a flying race I’m sure a ton of these magical creatures will be fluttering soon into 5e campaigns everywhere. They’re essentially small elves with wings, but with creative possibilities as vast as the feywild. 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!

I´m currently playing a Fairy socerer character inspired by dr seuss aesthetics, and have to say that is just wonderfull. It´s irreverent, so fun to play and since i reached 5th level, i´m just standing out during the narrations and battles. So fun to play.
What's the name of your fairy sorcerer?
@@SkullSplitter Jícuri
Im planning a fairy and i think the dm that i will have will say sure make it tiny.
mines one foot tall.
I play a dream circle druid fairy and I love being able to stay out off reach with my flying when I heal and for concentration spells.
Nice. Whats your characters name?
@@SkullSplitter Stella Artois, like the beer. She always end up at the tavern healing her friends and dancing/flying.
I'm literally doing this in my current campaign right now lol. My character's name is Periwinkle and she is very aloof and likes shiny things. She also doesn't speak and instead makes bell chiming noises, and my sister interprets for me lol.
I’m excited to try it out and am playing with building a Faerie Bard, where all the spells are really focused on buff / debuff / luck or unluck, altering time or altering the flow of magic. So technically a lore bard but the bardiness comes from using speech to play with emotions of PCs and NPCs alike for reasons that can be a little hard for others to follow. The hard part is how to really get into the mindset of a fey creature, since I don’t just want to RP a tiny human with wings. The values and worldview should come across as somewhat alien, and from time to time make other party members feel the hair stand up on the back of their neck, even though she won’t be evil.
I'm playing a faerie Warlock named Elandra with a dragon named canopy
I disagree with fairies being 3-4 feet.
When I think fairies, I'm thinking about the size of a human hand (wings not included)
They have the ability to switch to their giant form which makes you grow 12times your height.
@@indie0gal
I don't like that, and in my universes they won't be able to do that.
I agree. Again, WOTC hates tiny player character. They write it off as "ohhh those tiny ones are pixies, not fairies" which is lame.
Well unfortunately in 5E they are small. The size you're talking about would be tiny. Not saying I disagree with your premise, but there is no way that small would equal that small.
@@indie0gal No, they don't. They can only go from small to large which would not be 12 times you're height
I played a pixie years ago in AD&D 2nd Ed. It was one of my favorite characters I ever played.
Did the same! “Dusty” was a lot of fun! What did you name yours?
@@SkullSplitter named him pugsley
Can our could you be the king of faeries
y'know, an all fairy campaign sounds pretty cool
It sounds like a fairy good time.
I have a circle of dreams charisma fairy druid called Sylfeya and I just love her a lot. But since i'm pretty new to dnd i don't know the proper lore about fey, fortunately we play our dm's homebrew world so fey stuff is vague enough that it isn't an issue 😂
Fairy Death domain cleric. Gives off a chilly aura when near, has translucent pale skin, red eyes, white hair with green tip highlights.
Loses out on better armor but gains proficiency in martial weapons (Morningstar) and has shield. Mobile feat for extra movement. Thought it would be cool to have a bit of a gothic looking albino fairy.
Ive just now created a fairy who is a sort of…enchanter of the woods lunar moth type boyo.
Behavior of a leprechaun, powerful magic.
I've just built a fairy warlock whose fey patron if Father Christmas. She is pact of the tome, the book doubles as the Nice/Naughty List. One of her spells is minor illusion and any elf character she encounters is going to find themselves looking like a certain Buddy if they are not careful 😂
Really enjoyed getting to hear your take on the fairy! Especially for highlighting the use for dex-based melee builds - it seems like a lot of the time flight gets viewed as a waste on them, but it just serves a different purpose. Rather than being a defensive tool (as it is with ranged builds), it shores up a weakness melee has of not being able to reach flying enemies. Being able to flit up and engage an enemy caster in the air, or a dragon strafing the party with breath weapons, is a really handy option to have in the back pocket.
I'd love to see your take on harengon as well! Especially since that leap doesn't take up your movement for the turn, it's a really great utility tool that slots in on almost any setup.
Soon. Soon!
This! A maxed Dex melee fighter is only going to be a single point less AC than heavy armor. 1 AC is not nothing, but it doesn't make or break a build either. I've been wanting to build a Fairy Rune Knight, not only for the hilarity of a fairy becoming huge by level 5, but also has a cool story aspect to it (that I won't bore you with on here lol). And making it dex based should work really well by my thinking. Fighters, with their plethora of ASIs, have lots of flexibility in build options and should be a lot of fun and very functional.
im playing a fairy cleric, based off of a moogle in final fantasy called Kupo, its really fun, weve even reflavored his spell slots to be flowers that he generates when resting, theres a lot more rp elements to him like he communicares by writing on a chalkboard cause they cant speak, its great
I'm playing as a Fairy Fiend Warlock in a Wildemount campaign. And her patron Mira is inspired by Morrigan from Darkstalkers.
Just my 2 cents on the DMs banning flying races. Low level flying comes with significant extra risk. None of the playable races with always on flying have the Hover feature. Some people don't quite know what that means in 5e. Hover isn't to let you stay in one place, that was an older edition thing. Anyone with flying can choose to move 0 feet on their turn and not fall. that's not hovering in 5e terms. In 5e hover protects you from most of the things that can make you fall. Without it any effect that incapacitates, stuns, paralyzes, restrains, grapples, knocks you prone or reduces your speed to 0 makes you drop like a rock. For low level characters, especially squishy casters, falling from any significant height can be deadly. And if you fall because you were dropped to 0hp while flying, instant death is easily possible. By the time you have the HP to survive a significant fall you would be high enough level that your party could easily have access to the fly spell. In my opinion this is it's own balancing feature that easily pays for the advantages flight at low level gives you.
Thats a great point. I think one of the big challenges with this though is that it's almost certain death for many squishies vs. the threat of death.
monk negates (5 x monk level) at level 4, so 20 points of fall damage starting, and beyond as you level. it is a reaction though
Right?
Hover is realy strong Im homebrewing a living Doll Race i want it to have Hover i fear that it could break some things 🤣🤣🤣
Juggernaut barbarian fairy. No knockdown concerns and siege damage. Well I suppose you could still be status affected down, maybe. Sleep flying is dangerous after all.
I made a fairy wizard, she calls herself autumn, but she will gladly take your name. She has a deep-seated grudge against bone fairies. And assumes everyville and there's a bone family behind it. She loves Is shiny so yes fairies can be heroes too. Her wizard book Maybe bigger than she is? But she packs a mean punch. Fireball
*me crying over my fairy that is ONE FOOT TALL*
Since you asked. I'm just getting into D&D so I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm working on a fairy wild magic sorcerer.
And I'm going for the classic trouble maker idea. Enough damage to fight but a lot of stuff to cause general chaos. ex. To start with I'm hoping to use 'message' with deception and persuasion to make someone panic or even attack their allies.
Wait I’m also working on a fairy wild magic sorcerer! I’m think of making her a little eccentric among fairies where she’s morally “superior” and filled with righteous indignation
Fairy rogue arcane trickster, a flying pest who take delight in annoying the enemy with box of tricks.
Thank you soooo much for this! It helped answer a lot of questions I had
My favorite fun build was a Halflling Barbarian. Then Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse came out and I knew I was going to play a Fairy Barbarian with fly by attacks. My group is starting a new campaign and I finally built him up 17 Strength, 15 Dex, 16 Con, 9 for the rest. Only problem I am running into is not finding out what the FLYING carrying capacity is for a Fairy. Would love to grab people fly them up and drop them.
I am building a fairy lore bard. Incredibly smart and always likes learning new spells etc, but has no idea when to implement what she knows, “we could do this so easily if someone could fly up and pull the lever… forgetting she’s the one who flies” She also gives inspiration in the form of often annoying chants for each of the characters.
This is way late... but i feel like a rune knight Fairy would be hilarious when compared to other fairy's. Legit they could grow a full foot in height passively at level 10, not to mention going from tiny ("small") straight to large (or even huge waaay later) would just be hilarious to me
You could be Huge by level 5 as you have enlarge/reduce. You could be Gargantuan by level 18
I'm currently playing this exact combo! With Enlarge/Reduce added you're essentially Ant Man. I'm a 3'2" PC that has wrestled with a dragon!
It did bring up some discussions when I asked if I could fly while carrying the whole party.
I’m playing a fairy drake warden ranger and at level 5 I have maxed dexterity already and working on a dexterity based ranger, if you wanna hear more about it I’d love to tell you, video was great to watch and keeps my mind going for further progression
Thank you for your info.
If you have issues with flying races, have more ranged enemies that will focus on the flying creature hanging right in the air as an easy target. It's really not hard to figure out a fix
Fairy swarmkeeper ranger. The swarm, and a source of trauma, are cats. The small fairy has been constantly hunted by an ever growing herd of cats. "No....no trees, they can find me in trees. *Eye twitch*"
This is excellent.
I’m playing as a fairy cleric; elf ears, long black hair, Worshipper of Hestia. It’s been fun!
I'm working on a fairy for my next campaign. The full concept is 3 levels of artificer and the rest wizard. My dm doesnt allow flight at low levels so he lost his wings to a fomorian and seeks a way to get he wings back. Basically a combat concentration wizard.
Im about to start Playing a Homebrew campaign and my DM said no restictions on class or races. I will be doing as much as I can with it. 🤣 So, I am Amilius Moonbeam the adventuring Bard-barian! Choosing the collage of lore and primal beast subclasses. Im also being hunted for something I did in the feywilds that forced me to move to the material plane. 😅 I will also be Hiring our parties Articifer to make me a homebrewed item called Warlute (Also Approved by DM minus the enchatments i'll have to put on later) im super excited for this campain and enjoyed watching both this video and the Bardbarian video.
I'm playing my very first dnd campaign as a Lizardfolk named Tadeusz that's been a ton of fun to play, but if he dies one of my backup characters is a fairy named Ephemera if my brother (DM) will allow it, I think the transition would be a riot for the rest of the party
I'm playing a fairy bard. It's working out well. I've used the flight quite a bit. I gotta keep away from creatures because as a Bard I just can't survive in battle very well.
Im going to be playing DnD for the first time soon, and I already designed my character to be a fairy paladin.
Working on a dragonfly winged fairy Witchlight Carnival hand swashbuckler. Usually a barker but on occasion will perform blindfolded acts of swordplay (rapier) skills and balance. (Blindsight was originally a joke but I found a good practical use for it!)
Thank you for the video!
What's your character's name? Huzzah!
Thank you for asking! Frygga Glitter-gleam! (she has iridescent wings that look like transparent dragonfly wings but look rainbow-y during flight. She’s both proud and a bit embarrassed by this.)
No one asked but I’d also like to mention, her sword is a magical rapier called The Lucky Dragonfly. (Found it online not sure where). She found it in the prop tent at the carnival and after asking around no one seemed to own it, nor knew whom it belonged to. So it’s hers now. (Wanna leave a DM some wiggle room if they wanna play with my backstory)
I’m currently crafting a fairy monk for my next campaign and I’m really excited
Fairy blade singer ❤️🔥
Thats scary! Whats their name?
i'm currently in the process of creating a fairy (since the game will take place in the faewild): a gothic psychopath that smells like brownies,uses blood as make up and hair/clothing dye and carries a bag made of human skin. she is chaotic evil,will enjoy every and all kills and will spend all walking time sitting on top of he biggest party member's head. i'm also thinking of making her a bard since i like the idea of her using music to kill people. it's gonna be a fun game.>:3
Bonus points if the human skin bag features a face sewn into it, with maybe an interesting story behind whose face it is and why!
Bramble in “Choose Their Adventure… Again” was shorter than 2 feet. She appeared to be about a foot tall in artwork.
Fairies should be tiny. And banning flying races is stupid. Banning anything in the game is stupid. Be a better DM.
Well bramble in “Choose Their Adventure… Again” looked to be a foot tall in artwork. It was an official game with actors and all so I would say they can range from a pixie to a kobold in height.
i agree if a DM cant make everything work then they should learn more about creating a story but i dont think fairy's should be tiny, in most adaptation fairy's can switch to being tiny and "child size" pixies are forever small fairy's are not i think people think pixies and fairy's are the same when they both have long range of differences
Fairy Eloquence Bard. Male, and play them like Dana White promoting his premier adventuring troop of problem solvers.
- Giving away all the inspiration and hype man the whole battle for bonuses and de-buffs from above the battle like a battlefield commander.
I think a Fairy campaign could be great fun. I also think that if everyone is a Fairy the DM would have an easier time than if it was just one for the adventure/campaign. I would go Ranger or Dex Fighter(archer) so the armor restriction is not an issue.
Thanks.
I've start to design my own fairy ch since I notice that become a playable race. It's a male fairy, son of another fairy kinapted from the feywild, he is a sorcerer, and when his powers awaken ('cuz his mom die) he scape takin' advantage from the chaos. I love the idea, and I thought that the fliyin' isue is not to much OP, since you're a small race, maybe is very tired to run everywhere to reach your party... Fly is pretty much fun...
What's their name?
I'm new to dnd. I was wondering about my fairy trait. If i can just be the same size as a human or is that impossible to do? Since you just stated their size is small.
It depends on what your DM says. Talk with them, maybe you're half fairy? =)
I have a new game opening up probably not too long from now but the GM has long since just outright banned any race with flight, which is annoying because I found an incredibly fun sounding class combination for a fairy, which is the Lunar Sorcerer UA, oddly he allows UA within reason but no flight
I play a fairy rouge and my buddy plays an orc and we use the fast ball technique from marvel comics
I'm building a fairy rogue/druid multiclass. She specializes in trading information for various trinkets (gold included but hey she will go for anything shiny). My dm is also super into the idea of a druid rogue and has granted me permission to use sneak attack in wild shape if the animal would match that hunting style, so ambush predators will gain the benefit. The trade off being that I will be susceptible to spells that would target humanoids such as charm person to help balance it all out
My friend is making a Fairy Wizard as his first character ever. Hope it goes well!
I kinda wanna go against type, and make a brute fairy, Jorgen Vonstrangle style, but basically being required to invest into dex might put a damper on that. Cool race, though I might not use it.
I want to have a swarmkeeper fairy and they hangout in their swarm
Worth pointing out that creatures like the Cheshire Cat and Cait Sith are fairies, so you're not limited to playing as a Tinkerbell look-alike when you play as a fairy, and it's only limited by your imagination. I would much rather play a magically floating, talking cat Thief or Arcane Trickster that has a penchant for mischief, as opposed to a character with butterfly wings. Anything from the film Spirited Away could also work as inspiration.
So noone has chosen to try and build a fairy warlock, yet? That is what I am going to try to make for a one shot coming up.😊
My character concept - dex paladin with mobile. Fly in, do your big paladin damage, fly out without opportunity attacks cause of mobile feat
Getting ready to play a fairy horizonwalker ranger. Very hyped, but really needing dig deep into the research for role playing and lore. Any good places to look?
My group first messed around with playable faeries around the time 3rd Ed was half way to 3,5. It was back then terribly OP and gimmicky for some things and very lethal, hard-mode play for others. That was because of the homebrew we ran with. Just a little before WotC anounced Wild Beyond the Witchlight we tried our own 5e homebrew to try and capture our old 3rd Ed faeries' "feel". It can be done, but I wouldn't think Game devs to ever include something not even close to our thing in any oficial supplement.
Picture a thumb-sized thingy with 50 ft of natural flight and a few minor magics.
We red the faerie when it carne out but, after playing our own, these guys felt just huge, slow, and bland.
What you gonna do, right?
I've made a Fairy Artificer Battlesmith :D
I have a Fairy NPC by the name of Cheezie. My players can only understand him if they are chewing cheese in their mouth as he speaks.
If they dont eat the cheese they only hear "Cheezie makes it Easy."
lol k
My wife is playing as one now she's loving it.
can a lvl 3 fairy rogue have a familiar?, if so am I able to start with my familiar or do I need to cast a one hour spell at the start of the game?
Keepin' it simple... Fairy Fighter Rune Knight Archer. Pew-Pew
Ure a great person
Fairy Rune Knight for the win! (and lols)
Some of the homebrew races for faerie are much better than this official one…
Tiny, can size shift for as long as you want, though idr the specifics because it’s been a while since I’ve read it…
Imagine a DM letting you pick a flying race in the 21st century. My DM still thinks flying triflings who lose all of their other racial bonuses are OP. Like 17 AC lv1 warlocks with 18 in their primary cast exist now.
FR
I am making a fairy babarian
are you sure they aren't like two to two and a half feet tall?
when a DM bans well anything really i take that into them not being a compatible DM for most people because I've known many dms cry and ban not only races but players weapons ect because they dont know what they doing, some hate the players making a story with it.
so if you have a fairy and are a druid at least level 3 then shift into a spider will the spider be able to fly?
No. You aren't currently your race and don't have wings as a spider. Maybe if it is entirely magical flight your DM could allow it as if it were a class feature but a winged tiefling wouldn't.
While the druid is wild shaped, they can pretty much only do what the beast can naturally do as per its stat block. If the beast you turned into cannot fly, then neither can you since you basically *are* that beast for the time being. Heck, you can't even do something as mundane as *speaking* while transformed, so flying is right out.
Faerie monk :)
Oh that’s cool!
I made a hexblood fairy
Huzzah!
I’m playing a Fairy but it’s Batman
DRUIDS CAN NOT USE METAL SHILDS OR ARMOR
Fairy barbarian just for sh..s and giggles
I built a fairy bard
I'm currently playing a fairy artificer, he's a evil little sob
Which subclass of artificer did you go with? I am trying to decide if I wanna do Armourer as the subclass or not.
My goliath barbarian died and was reincarnated into a fairy, my weapons are too large for me now
*nods*
YES! WHY, WHY, WHY!
Banning any official race in an official DnD campaign setting is what i would call "self embarassment" to be honest.
As a DM, I allow flying race because of one particular reason - GUNS
my "solution" to flying characters is simple.... #/day=prof. bonus duration 1 min
Thats a way. After Tashas, people are just getting characters for the traits. If you modify their traits its not as balanced as it would be otherwise.
Omg 😳 he sounds exactly like Michael like omfg wtf 🤬. The speed in deliverance wtf so so off lmao 🤣
HHAA lmao 🤣
Seriously 😳 in person or sound waves 🌊 so I can see the voice difference. Omg Michael this isn’t Rad and he sounds just like you wtf wtf smh 🤦♀️ I’m not blind….. so so so similar I can even look at this dude talking it’s like he got inside someone else’s body like wtf lol 😂 wtf Michael!!!!!!
What About a Fairy 5lvl Artificer Armorer 15lvl Rogue Assassin. Using a clockwy hunting rifle and a revolver for spell casting.
