Sprite

Small humanoid like creatures, Sprites are creatures from the Feywild. Sprites can be defined by traditional humanoids by the distinctive set of wings they possess.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Barely larger than some small beasts, Sprites make up for this with wings that allow them a mastery of flight.

Biological Traits

Sprites are barely as large as young human children and thus simply cannot wear some armor or wield some weapons that larger humanoid creatures might easily be able to.

Growth Rate & Stages

The magical essence of the fey grants Sprites a decent lifespan, they gain maturity at 7 years and live as long as 150 years.

Age. The magical essence of the fey grants Sprites a decent lifespan, they gain maturity at 7 years and live as long as 150 years.   Alignment. Sprites tend to favor the alignment of those around them and are considered to be very impressionable.   Size. Sprites are the smallest of the small creatures, barely considered mechanically small sized.   Darkvision. Accustomed to twilight forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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.   Fey Creature. Sprites are creatures with the fey subtype.   Laughing Mad. You are immune to the Confusion spell and forms of madness that are not fey in origin.   Petite Stature. You cannot wield two-handed or heavy weapons, you cannot wear medium or heavy armor, and you cannot carry other creatures when you fly unless otherwise stated from your choice of wings.   Wing Selection. A sprite's wings can determine not only its physical aspects but also the focus of its fey blessings.

  • Quick Wing. Your wings are fast moving and look similar to those of a dragonfly. Your flying speed increases to 50 feet.  
  • Strong Wing. Your wings are long and feathered much like those of a bird. You can carry one creature of medium size or smaller so long as you have the lifting capacity to do so. Additionally, you have advantage on checks and saving throws made to resist effects that would cause you to fall or fail at flying.  
  • Bright Wing. Your wings are colorful, bright, and look similar to those of a butterfly. You have advantage on stealth checks made in bright light, but you have disadvantage on perception checks made in areas of dim light or darkness.  
  • Dark Wing. Your wings are colored in dark hues and look similar to those of a moth. You have advantage on stealth checks made in darkness, but you have disadvantage on perception checks made in areas of bright light.  
  • Iron Wing. Your wings are tough and chitinous like a beetle or boned like a skeleton. You can wield two-handed and heavy weapons, and you can wear medium and heavy armor.

    Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is a majestic language native to the planar lands of the feywild, filled with song-like words that roll gently off the tongue as if magic was imbibed in every syllable.

    There's a typo under " Body Tint, Colouring and Marking " in the little box top right. Thought I'd point that out
