A Nymph is a feminine fey creature native to water, appearing as a young and very beautiful woman with faintly greenish skin. They live in beautiful natural environments, almost always near water; a nymph can breathe water as easily as air. They are usually solitary and care little for company; however, most do speak the Common tongue as well as the language of the fey.

Nymphs are solitary, as has been mentioned, and unlikely to respond in a friendly fashion to any character. However, a character whose intentions are good and honorable who rolls a 12 or better on a reaction roll may receive the nymph’s aid.

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.
