==In D&D== Virtually every fey creature that appeared in mythology has appeared in [[Dungeons & Dragons]] at some point or another, sometimes as Medieval Europeans imagined them, sometimes as Disney imagined them, sometimes somewhere in between. Fey occupy a weird nebulous point between being magical humanoids and being full-fledged extraplanar beings, like the [[angel]]s, [[fiend]]s and [[elemental]]s. The [[Plane of Faerie]] as the otherworldly home realm of the fey has been thrown around a few times in the [[Great Wheel]], but it wasn't until 4e introduced the [[World Axis]] cosmology that this became an integral part of the basic [[multiverse]], known as the [[Feywild]]. This went down well enough that WotC thought it was worth risking grognard backlash by incoporating the Feywild into a modified [[Great Wheel]] in 5e. The rulers of the fey are called, imaginatively enough, the [[Archfey]]. Fey creatures often have names preceded by "fairy/faerie", such as the [[Faerie Dragon]]. ===Shadow Fey=== Introduced in the D&D setting of [[Ravenloft]], Shadow Fey are a class of fey creatures who escaped servitude to a monstrous demon-god called Gwydion in the [[Plane of Shadow]] by fleeing into the Demiplane of Dread. They are basically a more "Gothic themed" variation of the classic fey creatures of D&D at the time, and are characterized predominantly by their lethal aversion to sunlight and their active embrace of the classic Seelie/Unseelie mythology split, as they stem from a time when fey creatures tended to just sort of "there" in D&D. For more details, see the [[Shadow Fey]] page. ===Playable Fey=== Even excluding the obvious Elves, many of the various Fey races have been made playable in D&D at one point or another, particularly in the days of Basic and Advanced D&D. However, in one of the more confusing uses of the name, issue #257 of [[Dragon Magazine]] presented the Fey as a kind of alternate [[Elf]] race for use in its "Dark Ages" mini-setting; a Low Historical Fantasy version of Dark Ages Britain running off of the [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] ruleset. "Fey elves", visually characterized by their blonde to red-blonde hair and piercing green eyes, function almost exactly like standard AD&D elves, except for a few minor changes: ::Ability Score Minimum/Maximum: Strength 3/18, Dexterity 6/18, Constitution 7/18, Intelligence 8/18, Wisdom 3/18, Charisma 9/18 ::Class & Level Limits: [[Fighter]] 12, [[Ranger]] 12, [[Thief]] 13, [[Bard]] 13, [[Wizard]] ([[Mage]], [[Abjurer]], [[Diviner]], [[Enchanter]]) Unlimited :::Multiclassing Options: Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Mage, Fighter/Mage/Thief, Ranger/Thief, Ranger/Mage ===List of D&D Fey Races=== Found at this link here, which also provides links to each fey with the (Wizards of the Coast web site) designator. *
