Brief You are part fey, granting you innate magical abilities and a connection to the natural world.

You are directly descended from a powerful fey being, granting you mystical abilities tied to the Feywild, as well as certain vulnerabilities. Your fey heritage manifests in your appearance, demeanor, and magical talents, making you stand out among other mortals.

Powers

Ability Score Bonuses

Gain ancestry bonuses of +4 to Dexterity and Charisma.

Wings of the Fey

At-will, as a free action, you can spawn butterfly-like wings wings that grant slow fall, glide 5:1 ratio, and double long jump distance.

Same benefit as the feat Wings, but does not require the feat and does not stack with it.

Glamour

At will, you can change your appearance, either to disguise, or to gain advantage to Charisma skill checks relative to a given creature type.

Wild Shape

Twice per short rest, as a swift action, you can transform into an animal. The animal can be of any type, as long as its CR does not exceed your maximum:

The Bane

You are vulnerable to damage from iron weapons. It is uncomfortable to even touch iron, and attempting to wield an iron weapon causes disadvantage on attack rolls with that weapon. If you wear iron armor, you suffer wracked condition while wearing it (Con negates each round). The presence of leather hand-wraps, padded gambesons, etc., does not negate this vulnerability.

Outsider

You can be warded by any effect that works on outsiders. For instance, holy ground is always warded against you, as are all intact thresholds. If invited into a threshold, you are not affected by the warding effects until you leave the threshold.

Words are Power

Words that you speak of your own volition are binding. You cannot speak lies, and any offer or gift you make must be honored. Violating this binding causes serious penalties (TBD).
