Nymphs are feminine nature spirits of almost indescribable beauty; it is said that even the mere glimpse of one is enough to rob a man of his sight or perhaps kill him. They typically inhabit natural places of particular loveliness, such as high mountain lakes or deep forest glades. Those who have attempted to relate what they saw speak of absolute perfection. Nymphs typically speak common in addition to their own enchanting language and reputedly have voices like honeyed nectar.
Nymphs abhor evil and will occasionally aid someone in distress. Moreover, there is a small chance that a nymph will be favourably inclined towards a good aligned character who actively seeks her out, as long as he does not look upon her first; in the case of good-aligned human males with exceptional charisma, the chance of her favour is very high, but a saving throw is still required if he should happen to look upon her.
Special Abilities
Dimension Door — Nymphs are able to use dimension door once every day. If attacked, nymphs will almost always attempt to flee, often by means of dimension door.
Druidic Magic — Nymphs are able to employ magic as though they were 7th level druids.
Blinding Beauty — Any character that chances to look upon a clothed nymph must make a saving throw vs spells or be permanently blinded.
Deadly Beauty — Should a nymph be seen unclothed, then the consequence of a failed saving throw is death.
Kiss — Should a nymph deign to bestow a kiss upon a male, he will forget his troubles and pain for the remainder of the day.
Nymph's Hair — A lock of nymph's hair woven into a cloak or other item of clothing will magically increase the charisma of those who wear it by one point. Alternatively, the lock of hair may be used to create a powerful potion of sleep.
Nymph Tears — Nymph tears are sometimes used in the creation of a philtre of love.
Nymph's Pool — Any woman (female demi-humans included) who bathes in a nymph's pool will have her charisma increased by two points until sundown.
