Feywild Player Characters
Centaur
Roamers at heart, centaurs love open spaces and the freedom to travel. As much as they can, centaurs run. They race the wind, hooves thundering and tails streaming behind them.
Revised by u/NyteShark
Centaur Traits
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2. You then increase any other ability score of your choice by 1.
Creature Type. You are a fey.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 50 feet.
Languages. You know Common, Elvish, and Sylvan.
Charge. If you move at least 20 feet straight toward a target and hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, you can use a bonus action to make one attack against that target with your hooves.
Hooves. Your hooves are natural weapons, which deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit. You can use your hooves in place of unarmed strikes.
Equine Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. In addition, any climb that requires hands and feet is especially difficult for you because of your equine legs. When you make such a climb, every 5 feet costs 25 feet of movement.
Different Creature Types
A select few playable races are non-humanoid. These races are unaffected by spells and abilities that only affect humanoids, such as charm person. Playing a character with a non-humanoid Creature Type is only recommended for experienced players, and the DM can choose not to allow different Creature Types entirely. Work with your DM when you choose a non-humanoid race.
If a race's traits don't include a Creature Type trait, then that race is humanoid.

Fairy
The Feywild is home to many fantastic peoples, including fairies. Fairies are a wee folk, but not nearly as much so as their pixie and sprite friends. Infused with the magic of the Feywild, most fairies look like Small elves with insectile wings, but each fairy has a special physical characteristic that sets the fairy apart.

Fey'ri
The Fey'ri, also known as Demon Elves of Daemonfey, are to elves what tieflings are to humans. They are elves cursed with a demonic bloodline, whether is be due to a pact made with an entity of the Abyss that their family made generations ago, or due to a spiteful demon cursing an elf's birth. Often times, a Fey'ri can be born from a normal elven family, seemingly for no reason, and some can appear as normal elves for years, sometimes even into adulthood. However, their demonic blood will eventually rear its ugly face, and any who see their demonic features will instantly know what they are.
