Default [3.5] The Fey Compendium

The Fey Compendium


Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand.


Popular though they are, fey never got a Handbook of their own in D&D. Relevant information is scattered all over the place, and a lot of things about them remain vague. The purpose of this Compendium is to compile All Things Fey (official and homebrew) in one place. The word "All" is, of course, a wild exaggeration. Still, I hope it will be useful. Enjoy!


Introduction

"A fey is a creature with supernatural abilities and connections to nature or to some other force or place."
~ Monster Manual


Official D&D publishers never explained fully what exactly fey are and how they work. For the most part, they are portrayed as elusive and tricky creatures living in the wilderness. Instead of defining them, they used them to define the part of nature they inhabit: if there are fey around, this grove must be old and magical and wondrous and possibly dangerous. Traveler, prepare to be amazed, but also beware!

But where do fey hail from? How, if at all, are they organized? Do they have an internal hierarchy of some sort, alliances and rivalries? Do they have societies, Courts or a plane of their own? Do they grow old, and do they die when their time is up? What is it, in the end, that unifies all these widely different creatures under the type of "Fey"? As a rule, the designers were silent on the matter. With a few exceptions.

Before 3.5, TSR had briefly debated the subject of Seelie and Unseelie fey, and did so with the usual black and white mentality: seelie are pretty and Good, unseelie are ugly and Evil. Later, a series of WotC web articles offered a more nuanced interpretation, and added details about the Summer and Winter Courts, complete with rivalries and intrigue. And the Eberron campaign setting included a distinct plane called Thelanis, where the Fairie Court is located and where all fey hail from.

Perhaps this scarcity of information was for the best. Because it allowed DMs, players and homebrewers to come up with their own interpretations, without the burden of a - possibly flawed or at least restricting - official unifying theory. And they did exactly that.

This Compendium extends to homebrew material, first because there's some top quality stuff here. Secondly, because many iconic fey from a bunch of different cultures never got an official version. And thirdly, because some homebrewers have dived right into the crux of the matter, and indeed explained what fey are and how they work.

In many cases, using the homebrew sections of this compendium involves much more than copying a stat block. It's the fluff that makes it shine, and the fluff is a) subjective, and b) may directly affect the crunch. I suggest you read up the flavor texts and note the relevant assumptions and houserules (on cosmology, creature types and subtypes, etc).

While my thanks and gratefulness - and credits, naturally - go to every single homebrewer on this compendium, I believe the following people deserve a special mention:

1) The Vorpal Tribble, for a wide variety of immensely colorful fey creatures.
2) Mulletmanalive, for the amazing Fae-o-matic thread (fey creatures on demand, how cool is that?), and his excellent take on the Hedge and Fae as a whole.
3) Unosarta, whose name doesn't appear here as many times as you'd expect, but only because he compiled an insane number of nymphs in a single thread called Sisters of Nature.

My thanks also extend to all those who contributed to this Compendium with links, suggestions and corrections. So far: Mulletmanalive, Zaydos, SheepInDisguise, Debihuman (to whom we owe the entire Conversions and Third Party sections), Acidic_Cakes, Bendraesar, Klode.


...In the end, there's a reason fey are so popular. Who would want to "resist nature's lure" when it's so intriguing, exciting, otherwordly and full of wonder? Who would rather be "safe"? Who would object to being stolen? No one in his right mind, that's who. And off we go.

For he comes, the human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
From a world more full of weeping
Than he can understand.

~ W.B. Yeats, "The stolen child"

Comments and corrections are also welcome, as well suggestions for the "Notes" sections. It would be nice if one short sentence could give an idea what the entry's all about, but I'm not good at this, I'm afraid...

If you're going for completeness, it's only fair to point out how damn many fey type creatures Bhu has made [or at least folkloric ones] though tracking them all down will be laborious.

I'm amazed how much of this is my stuff and i'm flattered by the endorsement.

Entirely deserved, imho.

As I'm very busy these days, I'll continue updating after Christmas. Don't let that prevent you from giving suggestions/corrections, though, I'll look into everything sooner or later. :)

Do you want to include 3rd party 3.0 and 3.5 sources as well? Faeries by Bastion Press was a terrific source book even if is 3.0. The Little People: A d20 Guide to Fairies was also a decent 3.0 product. Obviously, these products need updating to 3.5, but that isn't so hard. A number of fey creatures from D&D earlier editions were updated to 3.5 in the Revised Tome of Horror , which is currently enjoying its new status in the Pathfinder games. WotC licensed a number of creatures to the Tome of Horror that they initially weren't going to update and then sometimes they did any way.

I have a folder on my hard drive that consists of nothing but fey creatures that I found on the web. It's up to 449 files. Most come from EnWord, this site and from WotC's site but a few are from other sites as well.

There is a lot of material out there.

You be willing to consider throwing all of that together into a nice pdf and making it available to all?

Ah, just one minor thing. On the homebrew monster classes, you have the Wendigo listed as Slavic, when it is actually Algonquin in origin.

I didn't keep any of the contributors names on file. It's just stat blocks and the whatever came after. I standardized the stat blocks and corrected a lot of spelling mistakes. However, I have no idea who contributed to that mass of stuff. I was keeping it for personal use.

I wouldn't know where to start in putting it together as some sort of netbook. Some of the creatures are even open content from published sources and technically I'd need to put in the OGL at the end. I didn't even credit you with your stuff or Bhu or anyone because I figured it was all open content and I wasn't going to publish it. Me and my big mouth :-) I just don't want anyone to look at their creation and get upset that there is no credit line.


Actually some of it is already in pdf form because EnWorld was using that format in the beginning for their conversions. I also noticed that my collection isn't even complete because I never went back to Unosarta's Sisters of Nature thread after my mom died. I'm in the process of copying that stuff too. And editing it for proper format.

I have said this numerous times that I hate the stat block that Fax put up. I like the SRD better. So everything gets fiddled with by me and then it's not even the original stat block or text but my edited version of it.

I probably need a 12-step program for my 3.5 addiction.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I've added the Fey Stuff (items, feats,spells etc) section - including the Giant's feats, of course - and corrected the Wendigo entry. I'm now checking your suggestions, and... how on earth did I miss Bhu? This will take some time.

As for third party sources, I don't mind including them, the problem is I don't have any. If someone can come up with a list, I'll add it, otherwise I'm afraid I can't include them.

You've done an awesome job on compiling the Fey Compendium.

Here is my other Fey contribution: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showp...74&postcount=8

Pictsies (aka The Nac Mac Feegle) from Terry Pratchett's book, The Wee Free Men.

You seem to have missed WotC's official Cheshire Cat here:
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x...ools/20030401c

You may also want to see what other homebrewers have created on EnWorld's Creature Catalogue Website:

http://creaturecatalog.enworld.org/

The monsters in the Conversion are particularly well done.

BTW, you really should give credit to W.B. Yeats "The Stolen Child" to your quote, "Come away, O human child!"

This is some pretty nice work, thanks man, this it gonna make it so much easier using "speciel" otherworldly creatures in my humans-only campaign. Special as in something that can still talk fairly normal, and that doesn't say completely other world, but only part of old mythological folklore. Hihi, the whole "Humans perceive a reality as they perceive themselfs and their ideals" sort of gone wrong, when imagination ran wild for them :P
But I digress:
If you haven't already found it:
Here is the list of Bhu's homebrewed creatures, and here is the thread that contains most of them, I think ;)

A few honorary mentions:
Seaweed Dryad
Fairy Shrimp
Rosebush Dryad
Hebanero Dryad
Cactus Dryad
Moss Dryad
Mushroom Dryad

And many more, but these were the few that I could discern from the overview :)

Cheers and happy hunting, really, REALLY do appreciate it :D!

Alright, I've added all your suggestions, except I haven't checked the EN World list yet. I think I tracked all of Bhu's creations, at least those in the Critters threads.

Also, honing my Google-Fu skills, I stumbled upon about 50 creatures I had missed before. This thing is never-ending, I think.

As for the "Stolen Child", I did give credit to Yeats (I quoted it twice, once at the beginning of the Introduction with "come away" and once at the end of it, with "for he comes". It seemed appropriate.)

Cheers everyone, glad you like it and happy holidays!

The monsters in the Conversion are particularly well done.
Oooh, there's a lot of stuff here.

OK, I have a question. The creatures in this list were originally WotC (or TSR) creations, but then were converted to 3.5 by the good folks over at EN World? That's what I understood, but I could be wrong. And if I'm right, do I put them in homebrew or official? Perhaps I could make a separate table for them. Hmm....

I thought you might like that site. A new catagory called Conversion to 3.5 might be useful. They are homebrews but based on original WotC creations. That's why they are conversions rather than straight homebrews.

I take the time to plug my all-time favorite 3.5 3rd party product.
The "Tome of Horrors" was the officially licensed product produced by Sword and Sorcery (an imprint of White Wolf) and it contains the 3.5 version of WotC creatures that didn't make into the monster manuals. The best thing is that "Tome of Horrors" is almost entirely open content (not the artworks for example) so you can post that material too. Since that was written, a revised for 3.5 version came out but it is only available as a pdf file. It was too big to reprint. Two subsequent books were published, namely "Tome of Horrors II" and "Tome of Horrors III" and likewise are mostly open content. The most recent incarnation is the massive Pathfinder edition of the "The Tome of Horrors" which updates all 3 of the previous versions in one book. 851 monsters in one volume!

Cookies for you. This is fantastic.

I just posted my first attempt at homebrewing a fey creature, the leonithne. It's not yet ready for this handbook, as I still have to finish it. But, perhaps when it's done, there will be a nice spot for it.

I suppose another section you could consider would be to identify fey from 3rd-party sources like the Legends of Avednu, Monsternomicon, Tome of Horrors, etc.

Anyway, this is spectacular.

As if you didn't have enough work to do with this, I think this site contains A LOT of OGL material from 3rd party publishers:

Billions of cookies indeed.

Update: I looked at Debby's links and included ENWorld creatures, both straight homebrew (don't worry, GiTP still accounts for the huge bulk of these ) and 3.5 conversions. Conversions are now in a separate table in the first post. I also reformatted the contents table, I hope it's a bit more neat now.

The good news is that the site is fortunately searchable.
The bad news is that a "fey" query gives us 33 pages of results. Or, this is the better news, depending on how you look at it.

I think it is GREAT news. However, I do not envy you for doing this even a little. I applaud your efforts in compiling all that information. Kudos and thanks! :applause:
