Summary::

Half-Nymph Racial Traits

• Type::Humanoid Subtype::Nymph
• Half-Nymphs are Size::Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Half-Nymphsbase land speed is 30 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. She retains the ability to distinguish color under these conditions.
• +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks, an Half-Nymphs outgoing personality helps them get along naturally with all people.
• +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks: when speaking to one another, Half-Nymphs tend to augment their verbal communication with subtle body language.They are likewise able to "read" the unintentional body language of others.
• Nymphs are natural swimmers and show unusual skill in the water. Likewise Half-Nymphs are capable swimmers and gain a +2 racial bonus on all swim checks.
• Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against enchantment spells cast by Half-Nymph. Their innate familiarity with interpersonal communication and their naturally charming demeanor make their enchantments more difficult to resist. This adjustment stacks with those from similar effects such as the Spell Focus feat.
• While a Half-Nymphs body takes more after its Nymph parent, a Half-Nymphs mind takes more after its versatile and capable human lineage. Half-Nymphs gain +4 skill points at first level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level. (The 4 skill points at first level are added on as a bonus, not multiplied in; see the Players Handbook).
• Nymph Blood: For all effects related to race, a Half-Nymph is concidered a Nymph. Half-Nymphs for example are just as vulnerable to special effects that affect Nymphs as their Nymph ancestors are, and they can use magic items that are only usable by Nymphs. (See the Monster Manual for more information on Nymphs, and the Dungeon Master's Guide for more information on magic items).
• Automatic Languages: Common and Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic). Half-Nymphs have all of the versatility and broad (if shallow) experience that humans have.
