Fairy is one of several possible progenitors you can inherit as a scion.
Your progenitor affects which spells you can learn as a scion. Your progenitor grants features when you first inherit it at 1st level, then grants more features at 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 15th, and 20th levels. See Scion#Fairy for an integrated list that combines fairy features with those of the base scion class.
Fairy Affinity
As a fairy scion, you have an affinity for fairy creatures. Your affinity affects several of your class features you may gain at later levels, including Intuition.
Fairy Proficiencies
Your progenitor's power instills your mind and body with supernatural talents that feel natural, granting you several proficiencies.
You gain proficiency with boomerangs and one musical instrument of your choice.
You become proficient in any two skills of your choice from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Medicine, Nature, Performance, and Stealth.
You can read, write, and speak the Deku language. If you already knew this language, you can instead learn one other language of your choice.
Fairy Defense
Your body shimmers with a thin veil of force that thwarts attacks, akin to armor. Your AC cannot be lower than 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can add a shield's bonus to this AC.
Fairy Senses
At 2nd level, you gain an innate understanding of the creatures around you, not unlike a fairy of navigation. You have advantage on any Intelligence check made to identify a creature's capabilities.
You also learn the light cantrip, and it does not count against your cantrips known. If you already know this cantrip, you can instead learn another cantrip of your choice from the Fairy Scion Spell List. When you cast light, its duration becomes "until dispelled."
Great Fairy of Healing
Fairies are exceptionally effective healers, and this begins to show in your capabilities at 3rd level. Whenever dice are rolled to determine the heart points regained from a scion spell you've cast, the roll is maximized. The creature regains the maximum heart points possible from the dice and you need not roll. This effect also applies to any scion spell you cast that grants temporary heart points.
Fairy Fountain
At 3rd level, those resting near you recover rapidly from their injuries. Whenever you or a creature within 60 feet of you finishes a short rest and expends Heart Container to regain heart points, the number rolled for each Heart Container cannot be lower than your Charisma modifier. Example: If a creature rolls a 1d8 for its Heart Container and lands a 2, but your Charisma modifier is +3, the roll is treated as a 3.
Altered Body
By 7th level, your body has undergone deep physiological changes. You become immune to harmful magic effects which only affect humanoids, such as the paralyze spell. You are affected by beneficial magic effects which only affect fairies, fey, or celestials.
If you choose, your appearance becomes significantly more fairy-like from now on: hair of pastel colors, movements that shimmer or glow, smooth and pristine skin, graceful movements, or even fairy wings, among other possibilities. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.
Whether you gain wings or not, from now on you have a fly speed of 40 feet. If you already have a fly speed, or otherwise gain one (such as from the fly spell), that speed increases by 20 feet.
Self-Regeneration
At 7th level, you learn to draw out latent magical energy to heal yourself. When you cast any scion spell, you regain heart points equal to the number of magic points you expended. If you are already at full heart points, the excess is gained as temporary heart points. As normal, temporary heart points doesn't combine—any larger amount simply replaces a lesser amount.
Radiant Surge
At 10th level, you learn to exert your healing capabilities into a powerful weapon. If you would restore heart points to a creature with a scion spell you've cast, you can instead cause that spell to deal harm. If you do so, the creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes damage equal to the heart points the spell would otherwise restore to the creature if it was humanoid. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage if it is undead or a fiend, and no damage if it is another creature type.
If a spell you've cast restores heart points to several creatures at once (such as lotus of life), you must choose for the spell to harm or heal—it cannot heal some creatures while damaging others. If a spell causes heart points to regained multiple times (such as great fairy's grace), a creature makes a separate saving throw for each time it would be affected, but you must decide whether the spell harms or heals when you first cast it.
Great Fairy of Magic
At 15th level, your healing magic reaches even greater pinnacles. You gain two benefits:
- Overflowing Life. If you cast an instantaneous scion spell that restores one creature to its maximum heart points, you can redirect any excessive heart point regeneration to another creature in range of the spell. Example: If you cast life to restore 15 heart points to a creature that is only missing 10 heart points, you can redirect 5 heart points of healing to another creature you can touch.
- Magical Rest. Whenever you or a creature benefiting from your Invigorating Rest expends a Heart Container to regain heart points, that creature may also regain 1 magic point if that Heart Container isn't otherwise used to restore magic points.
Royal Fairy
Your legacy as a fairy take shape in one of the following features, which you choose upon reaching 20th level:
- Boundless Magic. You learn to overpower your scion spells past your magic limit. You can overpower your scion spells to 15 magic points (or 10th level), so long as you have magic points to spare.
- Eternal Life. You learn mass heal, true resurrection, and eternal youth as if they were scion spells. You can cast these spells regardless of your magic limit. These spells cannot be used with your Radiant Surge feature.
- Great Fairy's Gift. When you cast a scion spell with a duration of at least 1 minute that doesn't restore heart points, you can increase its duration to "concentration, until dispelled."
