📋 About This Mod
What is this mod?
Like the title says, a mod that adds a playable Fairy race - with appropriate wings!
Note that due to rig/animation limitations, they're a little bit experimental. See Bugs/Issues section for more details.
This gif is kind of outdated due to custom animations but I really can't be bothered to recreate it.
Racial Traits
(Somewhat in accordance with the MoTM sourcebook)
Fairy Magic
Gain (a slightly homebrewed version of) Druidcraft as a cantrip, Faerie Fire at level 3 and Enlarge/Reduce at level 5. The latter two can be cast once per Long Rest.
Flutter
Racial passive - turns into once per Short Rest at level 3, and becomes unlimited at level 7.Tinify
A cute little homebrew spell - has some visual glitching, see Bugs/Issues section below.Hide Wings
A toggle that lets you hide/unhide wings whenever, aiming to help avoid your view getting blocked during cutscenes.

• a shiny shimmer effect throughout the bodies and faces - colorable by Horn Color
• 3 custom heads available for all bodytypes (only heads with animated glitters across their cheeks) + half-elf/gnome vanilla heads
• 4 wing designs available (Butterfly, Moth, Cicada and Pixie) - all are found in the Tail section and are colorable by Horn and Horn Tip Color

• 3 beard options (1 Moth-like Fluff and 2 Flowery Beards)
