QUALITIES

Agile Maneuvers (ex) - The creature may use acrobatics when making a grapple check.

Inspiration (su) - A nymph can choose an intelligent creature to inspire and serve as a muse by giving that creature some token of her affection (typically a lock of her hair). As long as the nymph retains her favor for this creature and as long as the creature carries the nymph's token, the creature gains advantage on all Wisdom saving throws, Craft checks, and Performance checks. A bard who has a nymph for a muse in this way can use his bardic performance for an additional number of rounds per day equal to his nymph muse's Charisma modifier. The nymph retains a link to her token and its carrier as if she had cast a status spell on the carrier. The nymph can end this effect at any time as a free action. A single nymph may only inspire one creature at a time in this manner.

Blinding Beauty (su) - This ability affects all humanoids within 30 feet of a nymph. Those who look directly at a nymph must succeed on a DC 21 CON save or be blinded permanently. A nymph can suppress or resume this ability as a free action.

ACTIONS
Attacks

Stunning Glance (su) - A nymph can stun a creature within 30 feet with a look. The target must succeed on a CON save or be stunned for 2d4 rounds.

DESCRIPTION

Environment: temperate forest

Organization: None

Treasure: standard (dagger, other treasure)

A delicate figure rises from the water, her long ears tapering to points above her head, her beauty painful in its perfection.

Many have lost their lives in vain search of the beauty of the nymph, and many more to the madness and obsession their grace has upon minds and bodies unprepared for their companionship. Yet the nymph herself is not a cruel creature-a guardian of nature's purest places and most beautiful realms, she treats those who respect her and her abode with kindness, and may even favor someone who takes her fancy with magical gifts. Yet those who would seek to abuse or harm her or her home quickly find that behind her beauty is a fierce protector more than capable of defending her charge.
