It's for the same reason why the dryad is half-bush in the art; the same reason why the succubus, an evil fiend representing debauchery, appears clothed and as attractive as a medieval woman prettied up to 7/10 to go get some coffee casually (and why there's a shirtless incubus on the same page).<br /><br />Your adapted nymph is well-made. Good job. I like the versatility in its abilities.Falkyronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984439598965306185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828791149913940544.post-70259663179621098622016-04-04T15:31:53.198+02:002016-04-04T15:31:53.198+02:00Thanks a lot for the feedback.

It was not the intention to make her impossible to kill.<br />As for adding role playing options i like your suggestions. I will keep them in mind if i decide to do a revision one day.Crisippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14513621944158787157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828791149913940544.post-8439629650807541862016-03-10T04:41:58.972+01:002016-03-10T04:41:58.972+01:00I've just come across this as I'm building...I've just come across this as I'm building a new campaign with extensive forest areas and the nymph will work well. I like the design but have some feedback.<br />The option to change shape has no limit. I'd assume it is like a druid in that you get the full HP of the new shape. With no limit this means when the nymph is under 20% HP it simply changes shape and regains full HP of the new form. It can do this indefinitely so unless you can stop her taking actions long enough to knock her out or kill then she is unkillable. Considering her intelligence this is a tactic that would be common. Not sure if that was intended.<br />One thing I have always hated about good creatures in the Monster Manuals of all editions is that they are centered around combat. There are minimal advantages they get to role playing outside of stats and using magic such as Suggestion.<br />Having abilities to charm people into loving them and doing anything for them as a Lair Action would suit well as an enhanced Fey Charm.<br />On their home turf they may even be able to make magical pacts with travelers for a service. For example they might cure a deadly disease in return for a year and a day of servitude. I like the White Wolf Changeling ability to do this so a modified variant would work well here. With home advantage they can grant this pact and the Feywild enforces any breaking of it. It could even be tied to an Archfey. This aspect adds in a lot of role play options and a reason for DMs to include the creature in their adventures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711098237692951056noreply@blogger.com
