TACTICS

If a defaced nymph has the opportunity before battle, she casts air walk and barkskin. A defaced nymph uses her baleful gaze on the first round of combat, then activates her blinding beauty, saving her stunning glance to use against non-humanoid foes or creatures that manage to engage her in melee. She prefers to hang back and cast spells on foes, using her agonized wail if she’s surrounded. A defaced nymph fights to the death, as if eager for release from her painful existence.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Agonized Wail (Su)

As a standard action, a defaced nymph can emit an agonized wail that affects all creatures within 120 feet—this wail causes those who experience it to become shaken (Will DC 20 negates) as long as they remain within 120 feet of the defaced nymph. A successful save renders a creature immune to that defaced nymph’s agonized wail for 1 minute. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Baleful Gaze (Su)

Any creature within 60 feet of a defaced nymph must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or take 1d4 points of Strength, Constitution, and Charisma drain. Whatever the result of the saving throw, the creature cannot be affected by the same defaced nymph’s baleful gaze again for 1 minute. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Blinding Beauty (Su)

This ability affects all humanoids within 30 feet of a nymph. Those who look directly at a defaced nymph must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or be blinded permanently. A defaced nymph can suppress or resume this ability as a free action. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Stunning Glance (Su)

As a standard action, a defaced nymph can stun a creature within 30 feet with a look. The target must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or be stunned for 2d4 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Torturous Touch (Su)

A defaced nymph can make a touch attack to cause hideous, painful wounds to rip open in the target’s body. This touch causes 2d6 points of slashing damage and 1d6 points of Dexterity damage, and causes the touched creature to fall prone in a fit of convulsions (during which the creature is helpless) for 1d4 rounds. A DC 20 Fortitude save negates the Dexterity damage and the convulsive fit. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Unearthly Grace (Su)

A defaced nymph adds her Charisma modifier as a racial bonus on all her saving throws, and as a deflection bonus to her Armor Class.
