Half-Nymphs

Since the begining of time, Humans have always felt an alure towards the amazingly beautiful Nymphs of the wilderness. On occasion, the Nymph reciprecates the attraction, and inevitably as a result, Half-Nymphs are often created. The child of a Nymph and a Human brings together the dangerous combination of the Nymph's appearence and body, and the Human's versatility and mind.

Most Half-Nymph characters are infact females, this of course being because there are very few known male Nymphs. However, there are some known instances of an extremely rare case where a female Human does fall for one of the few rare male Nymphs and they reproduce, creating a male Half-Nymph.

Personality

Like their mothers, a Half-Nymph both loves and reveres nature to more or less of an extent, but unlike an actual Nymphs, a Half-Nymph does not have the patience, or the long life span, to stay inside the nymph woods for all eternity. Half-Nymphs are naturally charming and likable, getting along with most anyone they meet. They also will generally have the curiosity, inventiveness, and ambition of the Human parent, along with the love of nature and free spirited nature of the Nymph parent.

Physical Description

To Humans, Half-Nymphs strongly resemble more of their Nymph liniage, and to Nymphs, they look more like Humans. A Half-Nymphs height on average ranges from 5 to 6 feet tall, and weight usually ranges from 85 to 175 pounds with males being noticably taller and heavier than females. With their amazing and sleek figures, deep penetrating eyes, full lucious lips, long silky hair and perfect skin are needless to say the completely ideal standard of beauty for most all humanoid creatures. Most Half-Nymphs tend to have blue eyes with hues ranging from bright sky blue, to a deep topaz blue. A Half-Nymph reaches adulthood at 20 years old, and can live to be 185 years old.

Half-Nymph Racial Traits

• +4 Charisma, -2 Strength, -2 Constitution: Half-Nymphs are very beautiful and athesticly pleasing by humanoid standards, and they also have strong out going personalities. A Half-Nymphs body, while beautiful is also somewhat weaker and frail.
• Humanoid Nymph
• Half-Nymphs are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Half-Nymphsbase land speed is 30 feet.
• Low-Light Vision: A Half-Nymph can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color under these conditions.
• +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks, an Half-Nymphs outgoing personality helps them get along naturally with all people.
• +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks: when speaking to one another, Half-Nymphs tend to augment their verbal communication with subtle body language.They are likewise able to "read" the unintentional body language of others.
• Nymphs are natural swimmers and show unusual skill in the water. Likewise Half-Nymphs are capable swimmers and gain a +2 racial bonus on all swim checks.
• Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against enchantment spells cast by Half-Nymph. Their innate familiarity with interpersonal communication and their naturally charming demeanor make their enchantments more difficult to resist. This adjustment stacks with those from similar effects such as the Spell Focus feat.
• While a Half-Nymphs body takes more after its Nymph parent, a Half-Nymphs mind takes more after its versatile and capable human lineage. Half-Nymphs gain +4 skill points at first level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level. (The 4 skill points at first level are added on as a bonus, not multiplied in; see the Players Handbook).
• Nymph Blood: For all effects related to race, a Half-Nymph is concidered a Nymph. Half-Nymphs for example are just as vulnerable to special effects that affect Nymphs as their Nymph ancestors are, and they can use magic items that are only usable by Nymphs. (See the Monster Manual for more information on Nymphs, and the Dungeon Master's Guide for more information on magic items).
• Automatic Languages: Common and Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic). Half-Nymphs have all of the versatility and broad (if shallow) experience that humans have.
• Favored Class: Bard
• Level Adjustment: +0
• Effective Character Level: 1
