Faes
Racial Bonus
xxxxx◦ Fae are known for their connection to the world around them. They are the very creation of their surroundings and from it gain the natural ability to harvest it's energy, causing them to excel as elementalists.
xxxxx◦ All Fae, no matter how skilled in magic they are, have an innate ability to glamour themselves in minor illusions. Normally this only affects themselves and their clothing. This can include changes in hair style and color, eye color, minor facial and body build features, even gender. This is purely visual and auditory illusion. In sleep, all Fae revert to their true forms.
Mandatory Weaknesses
xxxxx◦ Honesty. A Fae will always speak the truth, though may not always give a direct answer.
Fae Stats
xxxxx◦ Fae reach physical and mental maturity at the age of 18. Their life expectancy maxes at 2000
xxxxx◦ Blood causes extreme intoxication for blood-drinkers and can be highly addictive
xxxxx◦ Suggested Alignment: any chaotic
Gifts of the Light
Each Fae can choose up to three of the following Gifts.
If a Gift is chosen, a Limitation is also required; however, they need only ONE Limitation, regardless of the number of Gifts.
xxxxx◦The Natural Order:
xxxxxxxxRegardless of their nature, all Fae are deeply connected with the forest. A Fae with this Gift is connected even more deeply than the norm, bearing an almost instinctual understanding of the natural world. While others may have to actually search, it’s more than likely that this Fae will be capable of speaking with animals, trees, and even spirits of the forest in order to gain knowledge of where certain things are located in the wilds
xxxxx◦Wisp Whisperer:
xxxxxxxxWhile many Fae bear a certain connection to the spirits of the forest, and the tempters of lost souls known as Wisps, certain Fae have achieved such a positive rapport with them that they’re actually able to give the ethereal creatures commands. A Fae with this Gift is able to call three Wisps to their side once per day. These Wisps may not attack or defend for the Fae. However, Wisps are known to be incredibly alluring and distracting even in the midst of battle
xxxxx◦Now You See Me…:
xxxxxxxxFae as a whole are known to be difficult to pin down at the best of times, and downright elusive at the worst. Fae with this Gift have a knack for being in the right place at the right time, and rarely end up actually suffering consequences for any of their actions
xxxxx◦Enchanted Voice:
Fae with this Gift are blessed, in that their very voice is extremely dangerous, so much so that it can remove the willpower and courage of even the most stalwart of targets
xxxxx◦Fae Touched:
xxxxxxxxFaefolk are known to be veritably overflowing with magical energy of a very unique kind, and aren’t typically brought into the world in the same way as many of the other races. This manifests in some Fae in the ability to ‘Fae touch’ food and drink, or even people. Different Species have different reactions of the fae touched ability:
xxxxxxxxxxHumans typically become giddy and overly happy, being unable to do much of anything else but laugh, finding even the most serious of topics hilarious.
xxxxxxxxxxDrow will suffer from short-term amnesia, becoming confused and disoriented for the duration of the scene and regaining memory when the effects wear off.
xxxxxxxxxxElves develop a drunken stupor, state of mind becoming fuzzy and motor controls become inhibited. They also develop a sudden fondness and understanding for Dwarves in general.
xxxxxxxxxxGarou react to becoming Fae-touched as if they’ve taken a sedative. The beasts become groggy and sluggish before ultimately becoming incapacitated.
xxxxxxxxxxMer, when exposed, begin to hallucinate. The current state of the Fae when the touch is delivered is the deciding factor of the degree of the hallucinations. A happy Fae may cause pleasant, surreal, dream-like hallucinations while a distressed one will cause nightmares.
xxxxxxxxxxOrcs have a powerful immune system, and react to this almost exclusively by flying into a berserker rage, attacking the closest target until either they or their target is incapacitated.
xxxxxxxxxxDwarves become absolutely convinced that they’re able to do things well beyond the bounds of their racial abilities. Such as fly, swim, reach things on high shelves, etc.
xxxxxxxxxxNon-listed races may choose one of the above.
Limitations
xxxxx◦Wingless:
xxxxxxxxThis Fae was either born without wings or some tragedy happened where their wings were destroyed, stolen, or removed in some fashion. They are incapable of flight at any point of their existence. Other winged Fae tend to mock and berate them as "lesser fae" for not having proper wings. This Limitation may only be taken by Fae subraces that actually have wings
xxxxx◦True Name:
xxxxxxxxFae with this Limitation have two names, or many. Those they give to the outside world, and then one they keep entirely to themselves - their True Name. Any who gain knowledge of this True Name gains the power to command a Fae as a summoner could a demon. Commands are compulsory, and must be followed.
xxxxx◦Shinies:
xxxxxxxxThis Fae is immediately drawn to something they consider to be of value like a small child is drawn to candy. If they see something that they value, they will do anything within their powers to own said object. It should be noted that theft has its consequences should a Fae get caught trying to steal something that is not their own, and that what is considered shiny may vary from Fae to Fae.
xxxxx◦Promise Bound:
xxxxxxxxThis Fae is bound to their word. If they make a promise, they must do everything in their power to fulfill it.
xxxxx◦Brittle Bones:
xxxxxxxxSome Fae are not physically as strong as other races and can be very fragile in body, due in no small part to how many Fae must be extremely light so as to be able to maintain flight
xxxxx◦Essence of Life:
xxxxxxxxThere are times when darker natured Fae require more than the usual sustenance to survive. These are the Fae who feed off the essence of another creature’s life, be it their creative energies, their souls, their emotions, or their blood.
