Ranger: Access to additional spells and flight can make a decent ranger. Their heavy armor restricts flight, they can't use heavy weapons without popping their once-a-day enlarge/reduce, and they don't really have any ranged options that make the exclusion of those two things worthwhile. Paladin: Unfortunately, fairies just don't work as paladins. A Way of the Kensei monk could make decent use of the flight but would be restricted without access to a longbow.
Monk: Monk's typically want to be up close and personal in order to use their martial arts. It'd be best to look elsewhere if looking for a fighter build that can pick up flight at 1st level. That said, flying out of range is a great way to avoid getting hit! Fairies obviously won't work with Armorer builds due to the heavy armor requirement, or Battle Smiths because of their focus on martial combat, but can make great Alchemists and Artillerists.īard: Most bard builds will love the free, concentrationless flight and the access to a couple more spells.Ĭleric: A solid choice for cleric builds that won't be using heavy armor.ĭruid: Small overlap with the druidcraft cantrip, but not having to wait until 8th level to be able to fly is always welcome.įighter: While a fairy may seem like a good choice for a ranged fighter build, their Small creature size restricts the best ranged weapons, like longbow or heavy crossbow. Normally, races that gain flight at 1st level make great ranged builds but their Small size restricts access to the best ranged weapons.Īrtificer: Unfortunately, you won't be able to wear your medium armor and fly around. Which 5e Classes Work With Fairies?īeing Small creatures with flight, fairies work best for spellcasters that want to maintain distance from enemies.

Of course, the free casting of enlarge/reduce can help mitigate that, but it’s only available once you hit 5th level and can only cast is once a day unless you have the spell slots necessary to recast. Unfortunately, their Small size restricts the ability to use heavy ranged weapons, which removes some of the best advantages that this ability offers. Enlarge/reduce can help combat more appealing for STR-based classes (once per day, at least) and can offer some shenanigans by being able to shrink to a Tiny sized creature.įlight: 1st level, concentrationless flight is always an extremely strong racial ability. Always having a response for invisible enemies also helps ensure you’re not caught off guard. Faerie fire is a decent spell to have at your disposal as getting advantage on attacks against creatures for multiple rounds can wind up in a lot of damage. Speed: Maintaining a standard walking speed is great considering that fairies are Small creatures.įairy Magic: The druidcraft cantrip isn’t particularly impressive, probably the most helpful thing it can do is forecast the weather for the coming 24 hours. In the fairies’ case, the Small size’s drawbacks are quite significant because it restricts use of heavy ranged weapons, which would compliment the free, concentrationless flight they get at 1st level. On the other side, Small creatures are better at hiding and can more easily move around the battlefield. Size: A Small size comes with some drawbacks, such as wielding certain weapons and grappling. Your biggest worry with being a fey is the banishment spell, though this is more effected by your backstory than your creature type. You are more susceptible to other spells, like hallow and protection from evil and good, but these aren’t as bad as the spells you gain immunity to.
