Alignment. Sidhe are almost always Lawful due to their
obsession with customs and inabilityto lie, although this
means little to mortals. Their alignment in relation to Good

to cause harm out of boredom.

slender builds. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky,

see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light,
and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color
in darkness, only shades of gray.

Optional Feature (requires DM

approval due to balancing):
Fae Bargain:
The Sidhe are capable of making deals which are
magically binding, refuse to accept gifts as they
leave the Sidhe indebted to the giver, and likewise
enjoy giving gifts to incur favors owed. The extent
of these deals is limited only by the DM's
discretion, and can range from to an answer for an
answer to the knowledge of a skill in exchange for
memories, or another skill.
Breaking a Sidhe deal, or attacking a Sidhe to
which you are indebred, holds the same penalty as
resisting the Geas spell. Additionally, creatures
have disadvantage on attacks against a Sidhe to
which they are indebted, and a Sidhe has advantage
on saves against spells and abilities from an
indebted creature.
A Sidhe always know the location of an indebted
creature, but only while they are on the same plane
of existence. While you have this knowledge, the
target can’t become hidden from you, and if it’s
invisible, it gains no benefit from that condition
against you.
