Half-Nymph Paragon

A Half-Nymph Paragon brings to two parts of its heritage together and focuses them as one, becoming more powerful and more intune with their lineage than any normal Half-Nymph could dream of.

Making a Half-Nymph Paragon

Abilities: Charisma is the most important ability for a Half-Nymph, as it fuels the Half-Nymphs bonuses on charisma related skill checks.

Races: This class is for Half-Nymphs only.

Alignment: Any.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Half-Nymph Paragon.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Half-Nymph is proficient with all simple weapons, but not with any armors or shields.

Spellcasting: At 2nd and 3rd levels a Half-Nymph Paragon gains new spells per day (and spells known if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before gaining the level. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic or item creation feats, assassin or bard abilities, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the levels of Half-Nymph Paragon to the level in the spellcasting class, then determines the spells per day, spells known and caster level accordingly.
If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Half-Nymph Paragon, she must decide to which class she adds the levels of Half-Nymph Paragon. If a Half-Nymph Paragon has no levels in a spellcasting class, this feature has no effect.

Bonus Feat (Ex):At 1st level, a Half-Nymph Paragon gains a bonus feat. The character must meet the feat's prerequisites normally.

Divided Ancestry (Ex):Unlike other racial paragons, Half-Nymphs can take levels in more than one racial paragon class. After gaining at least one level as a Half-Nymph Paragon, a character can take either Nymph Paragon levels or human paragon levels (but not both).

Damage Reduction (Su): Beginning at 1st level a Half-Nymph's biology begins to change and their skin magically densens like that of their Nymph parent. Starting at 1st level a Half-Nymph gains damage reduction 2/Cold Iron. This bonus increases by an additional +2 each level until the Half-Nymph has damage reduction 6/Cold Iron at 3rd level.

Persuasion (Ex): A 2nd level Half-Nymph Paragon's racial bonus on Diplomacy, Gather information and Sense Motive checks increases to +3. She also gains a +2 racial bonus on all other Charisma-based skills.

Ability Boost (Ex): At 3rd level, a Half-Nymph Paragon's Charisma score increases by 2 points.
