Half-Nymphs

UNSEELIE HALF-NYMPHS

–4 Strength, –4 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, +0 Charisma (but see Unearthly Charm below)
Medium: As Medium creatures, half-nymphs have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Half-nymph base land speed is 30 feet. Half-nymphs who can swim have a base swim speed of 20 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. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
Human Blood: For all effects related to race, an unseelie half-nymph is considered human.
Unearthly Charm (Su): Once per month, an unseelie half-nymph can permanently drain one point of Charisma from any willing creature it has charmed. This effect takes at least one minute, during which the half-nymph can do nothing else, and typically takes the form of a kiss or embrace. The actual act is impossible to distinguish by observation. Half-nymphs never drain Charisma from those significantly less charismatic than them (beyond –4 relative to their own Charisma); whether this is a matter of preference or impossibility is not clear. Charisma drain is essentially an evil act. Consequently, good-aligned unseelie half-nymphs are unheard of, although unseelie half-nymphs are not necessarily outright evil.
Nymph Heritage (Ex): A half-nymph is immune to the gaze attacks and beauty effects of fey. A half-nymph is also vulnerable to cold iron, and takes 150% damage from weapons made from cold iron.
Automatic Languages: Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Common, Elven, Aquan.
Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day—charm person. Caster level equal to character level.
Unseelie half-nymphs add the Diplomacy and Sense Motive skills to their class list.
Favored Class: Sorcerer. A multiclass unseelie half-nymph’s sorcerer class levels do not count when determining whether or not he takes an experience point penalty.

An unseelie half-nymph is the rare product of a successful mating between an unseelie nymph and a human. Appearing either fey or elven, unseelie half-nymphs grow up with their nymph mother, who will at some point have gotten bored with the father and disposed of him. Such an upbringing often guides a youngster into having a similar disdain for nature and for the free will of other creatures. It may cause him to embrace dark sorcery, or it may lead him down some other path. Unseelie half-nymphs inherit their mothers' charm, and all have some inborn magic from their fey blood. Unseelie half-nymphs count as human, but age as elves do. Due to their rarity and identical physical appearance, half-nymphs and unseelie half-nymphs are usually confused with one another; most scholars are not even aware of the difference.
