Fe Fi Fo Fay? [Archive] - Wizards Community

12-04-07, 12:59 PM So I know Fey is a creature subtype, and Gwendolyn Kestral has done a lot of write ups on the Seelie Court and various aspects of Fey life, but where can I locate information about the Fey (Fay) as a race? I'm not talking about Dryads and Satyrs and the like. Is there a standard Fay creature out there?
Does anyone have online statistics for such a critter as both a monster and a character race? IF nothing is online, could you direct me to printed material with said information
Your help is much appreciated

12-04-07, 02:48 PM In the printed D&D their is no Fey race. The Fey type is described in the glossary of the MM.

The Fey races are supernatural beings that represent aspects of nature. In mythology there are numerous fey races and unique creatures. The most popular being the Sidhe. You could say the Sidhe are elves with immortality and great magic supernatural powers and abilities.

A few other publishers have more PC races than WotC. I believe Monte Cooks Arcana Unearthed setting has a race known as the Fae.

12-04-07, 04:25 PM There is this (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=2127&it=1) book. It's decent, but not great.

12-04-07, 04:36 PM There is this book. It's decent, but not great.

I didn't like that book as well as I would have liked to. To shakesperean, maybe? I tried I really did.

I wonder if Green Ronin tackled the subject?

12-05-07, 03:05 AM Besides standard fare like Pixies and Petals and Satyrs, etc., Have you considered Killoren, from Races of the Wild? They're pretty nifty, and definitely make a nice option for a Druid. Very nature-oriented Fey-type creatures. They also get some nifty abilities, such as their Manifest Nature's Might abilities.

12-05-07, 10:40 AM Known for their cruelty and disdain for
humanoid creatures, rose blood sprites
are the embodiment of nature's uncaring
and vengeful aspects. Roseblood sprites
act out against those who would despoil
nature's beauty, often with excessive force.
All too often, even the presence ofsuch an
outsider is enough to provoke their ire,
be it human, orc, or even elf (although
they seem to forgive the presence of fey-allied
gnomes). ~Conquest of Bloodsworn vale

I read this and fell in love. I do believe these appeared in a bestiary as well. Tome of Horrors or Creature Collection maybe....

12-05-07, 03:54 PM There really is, unfortunately, no "standard" fey race as far as D&D goes. It really depends, as has been proven above, what literature you go by. Sometimes it's elven like creatures, others are tiny fairies with wings, and still other they're little goblins. It's really all up to you man.

12-09-07, 11:36 PM Fey is a type, like Outsider, Construct, Humanoid, etc.

Within that greater type are all Fey races.

However, there have been quite a few attempts to stat out a "Fey race" here.
It's a good laugh every now and then.
