How to create unique fey characters and NPC’s 

One of my favorite ways to add to Fey character personality - take a character who loves Looney Toons style humor and gags, but make the consequences of their actions real, rather than cartoon-y. This works particularly well for unseelie Fey, who are more inclined to dark or violent humors.

Seelie and unseelie are best described as mischievous or malicious, not good or evil. I once played a Seelie goblin Druid who was Cu Lwyd Cynning or the “Gray King’s hound”. He was the tracker of a Seelie equivalent of the Wild Hunt. Since time doesn’t pass in the Winter Court, he was thousands of years old and would sometimes disappear for years on end. He could remember when there were gods of the goblins who were friends of the sylvan elf gods.

There's an old Dragon Magazine article (#374) where Eberron creator Keith Baker wrote an article about the Prince of Frost, his history, his realm, and also servants and pacts, and while I'm mostly a DM, I would love to make a future character that is either a Warlock (really like the idea of a bad actor who made a pact to become a good actor in famous romantic plays he sees in the cities, but whoopsie daisie, made it with this who encourages spreading of sorrow) or a Paladin with one of the Creeds written in there as part of their oath (example, the Bitter Creed says to Never Love, Be Cold, and Never Steal).

i took the pixie race from monkey dm, tweaked it a bit to me and my dm's liking, named her "sparkles mcfizzlebottom", gave her a personality that makes her likeable while also making her seem like she chugged down 5,000 bags of sugar, and gave her the circle of the shepherd druid....to summon more of herself...CANT WAIT TO PLAY HER! 💀💀

One race that was left out that has been directly impacted by the Fey Wild is the Firbolg. They used to be giant kin that resembled Scottis/Irish humans. This changed over the different editions, and they are now very much a liniage that has been altered by time in the Fey Wild.

I’ve had the sudden obsession of Fey and the Feywild so thanks for this video, it rocks! Equally obsessed with Gnomes, and I was curious how (if at all) one would work in a Gnome into a Feywild setting or background. My class ideas for my Gnome were all between Warlock, Druid, or Bard

The main standout of the eladrin is that they can change their elemental type with their mood. Any winter eladrin can become a spring or summer eladrin if they experience elation or rage. Good times.

I literally just found the channel and i NEED to tell you abt my current character, they are part of a fey character dynasty, its 3.5 so things might be slightly different (or very ) i will explain incase you need it Im a tiny sized (less than 2 foot tall weighs 10 lbs) fey forest gnome (the gnomes were originally fey in ages past) he is a warlock drag queen who serves his patron The Aincent Mother Huntress, a previous character kilorean spirit shamen (kiloreans are fey born from the slaughter of other fey [with 3 personalities almost] to set it right and spirit shamen have tons of slots and few spells rettieved per day but you get to swap them so like a super sorcerer but druid spells mostly... it also comes with an extra personality to hold extra concentrationfor you lol) she became an arch fey and was seriously insane but the new character is one of the towns survivors. He became the first champion Since she controls spirit magic and is made of fey spirits she can now bring back the lost members of the town. Now is where things get interesting, even though low level numbers are virtually identical my character could do 216 straight damage and grappel 12 opponents at once all at lvl 1 and he could do that literally every round after (5 rounds of it ramping up by 36 a round. In 3.5 metamagic (and metamagic spell like abilities) are feats and just cost extra castings... 3.5 warlocks have unlimited castings a day and by using the flaws (anti feats) for feats feature things got a little out of hand... were lvl 4 now and if he has 24 hours to prep he can turn out more than a million straight damage a round (now its 72/round), clearly i dont use him like that instead he is mainly a stratagist and support character actually but if he went full agro yeah just a little broken And thats before we get to how he read a couple tomes of leadership and now his charisma is 32 so he has to find a way to hide to avoid scaring people with his beauty (thats about = to a 30 in 5e there is no cap in 3.5 and this is not the highest ive gotten a charisma score on a gnome from this village now that i think of it, my bard retired with like a 46 if he was standing there in the buff

got another source for fey critters and people, if you're not already using it: the Oz books (Wizard Of Oz &c). Almost everything you meet or hear about could be a fey being with the sole modification of adding the 'fey' keyword.

Amé este vídeo, estaba buscando ideas para un Archfey Warlock y la verdad ayudó bastante.

Been running a harengon ranger/warlock (both fey themed subclass) thats part of the seelie court as a scout of the mortal plane. My DM has stated ive been keeping him on his toes with the chaos but, for the game, playing Leaf (my character) as a sort mix of a soldier and jester. The DM has been kind enough, with permission, for me to pull some fey antics such as minor fey deal making with NPC out of humor as long as its not game breaking.

I have a Wood Elf Druid with Criminal background called Wildweed. By fifth level, he has Expertise in Stealth, which along with Pass without Trace grants him a Stealth of about 30. Thus, Wildweed can sneak by most dangers and prefers to solve problems with wit. Our party encountered a group of women being held captive by Drow. His fellow players asked how many Drow, how were they equipped and if they were aware of us. Wildweed asked, "How many women are we talking about?"

I'm playing Wild beyond the witchlight right now! my character wasn't replaced by a changeling, he IS a a changeling who was swapped with another baby, he grew up hated by his family because of this and so he ran away to join the witchlight carnival!

We’re starting a new campaign in the new year. My character, Batelee “Hank” Bluebottle, is a Fairy Wild Magic Barbarian. He was part of a street gang called The Spiders when he got mixed up with job gone bad and almost died. A priest of Lolth who was VERY lost in the Feywild found him, and because of the spider web tattoo on his neck, cured him and marked him as under the protection of Lolth. Hank helped the priest find a gate to leave the Feywild in return for curing him. Now that he is marked by the Spider Queen, he has to hide his mark, so Hank left the disorganized crime of his gang and turned independent bounty hunter. He was betrayed and agreed to a contract to get a fawn and bring him back for a bounty. The fawn, though, turned out to be an Archfey in disguise. Instead of killing Hank, the Archfey decided to exile him to the material plane until Hank could be rid of his goodie goodie ways, and embrace the chaos that is his birthright as a fey being. He also blessed him with the Wild Magic that manifests whenever Hank Rages. Hanks a bit confused at the moment with the Fey, the Underdark and the Material planes all tugging at him. And, he’s a lovely lavender color with rainbow shimmer dragonfly wings. They go nicely with his black leather motorcycle vest and gang tattoos.

I have a half-elf fighter/sorcerer whose magic is empowered by her fey bloodline. Her elfic mom is an archfey empowered warlock from the feywild, though she was born in the realms. While the half-elf's story is currently the one I'm metaphorically hammering out, I appreciate the advice for both of them!

I was thinking that you could have an NPC who was a quest giver/mentor to any party of PC's. She would be a child-like, playful girl who nonetheless possessed an ageless wisdom. You could call her Fay Wilder.

Been planning out a feywild arc for my campaign. In my homebrew setting, figures like Alice Kingsley, Dorothy Anne, Wendy Darling and Chihiro Ogino are all known survivors of the feywild. The lucky ones. Children disappearing is such a common occurrence, everyone’s collectively afraid of the enchanted forest just outside of town. The fey themselves have a name for outsiders that come in: Alice. If you’re not originally from the fae realm, you are an Alice. This is regardless if you are lost, a visiting adventurer, or a permanent resident. You are all Alice. Peter Pan and the Lost Boys are the single leading reason why the local fae fucking hate Alices. They are a bunch of menaces that harass the locals, destroy property and act like they own the place. Many lost children are often found by Peter and end up joining the group; learning his bad behavior and perpetuating the cycle Also there’s dinosaurs in my feywild cuz why tf not? Have some dinos miss their own extinction event, spend millions of years of evolution in this plane of magic, ba da bing! Ba da bam! A mutha fucking fae-rex!

1: The Campaign I just started will have a huge Fey influence (for many reasons) so I am very glad that the RU-vid gods have blessed me with your channel 2: Adding to the races: Goblin, Bugbears and Hobgoblins are official playable races found in Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. In there Changelings and Centaurs are also labeled as Fey for some reason that I am not familiar with

Happy to see this vid getting some views!

Thanks for the video, I have so many ideas now! Currently some of my players are using races from the Final Fantasy XIV guide and they seem to love it! It truly fits with the Fey aesthetic.

My character i play is a nonk/cleric hexblood tiefling feylost and hed so confused about feyrun because he remembers nothing from the last time he was here

Nice video. You've leveled up on the editing, sound, lighting, etc. I'd like a little more imagery. I really hits when you flash up the pictures of the different races and creatures. Maybe a side-by-side view of you and an artist's rendition of the topic. I'm not totally sold that my idea is any good, so I'd love to hear another opinion on it. I do have one very strong suggestion. Enable the super chat functionality on your channel. I'd like to be able to donate a little something to the cause.

I've been working on a paladin of conquest eladrin pc. Who is sent to the material plane to grow fey plants. Generally, he is a good character, and to his eyes, he is helping the material plane achieve true beauty. Just haven't figured out his full backstory yet.

fearne is such a fun character to watch in CR and it’s made me want to explore playing a fey creature at some point. i wanna be an otherworldly silly little guy in a game!! thanks for the tips!!

In terms of official playable races that actually have the fey creature type, we have: . Satyr . Centaur . Hexblood . Changeling . Fairy As mentioned in the video, there are lots of other races with fey ancestory (in lore or mechanically) and who otherwise have lore connection with the feywild, but these are the only ones who are actually considered fey. Because of Hexblood ancestral legacy, you can also make ny other race into a fey by giving them the hexblood lineage (though they will lose most of their other racial traits in most cases)
