To be a nymph (dryads and nyads are kinds of nymphs), make a female elf character, and type “Nymph” in the subrace field without the quotes.

Nymphs get:

• +2 Charisma
• -2 Dexterity (cancels elf bonus)
• Several innate magic abilities (see below)
• Choice of dryad, nymph (nyad-looking) or elf appearance.

Nymphs are semi-divine nature spirits, always female. Every nymph is bonded to some aspect of nature. Dryads are bonded to a tree, nyads are spirits of streams and ponds, nereids are from the sea, oreads dwell in remote mountains.

As a nymph, you received an appearance widget with which you can change between the dryad appearance, the “nymph” model (kind of a nyad look,) and your default elf appearance.

Nymphs are best known for their superhuman beauty. In addition to their physical appearance, their understanding of nature allows them the power to influence creatures around them, including people. This ability is equal to the spell Charm Person Or Animal, and grows as the nymph becomes more experienced:

• Level 1, as level 3 caster 1x/day
• Level 2, as level 3 caster 2x/day
• Level 3+, as level 3 caster 3x/day

At higher levels, you will be able to cast dominate spells. Dominated creatures will follow you as a henchmen, doing your bidding for a short time.

• 7th+: Dominate Animal 1x per day as 5th level caster
• 9th+: Dominate Person 1x per day as 7th level caster
• 17th+: Dominate Monster 1x per day as 17th level caster

As you reach the appropriate levels to use these skills, you will gain a usable item. Drag the item to a quick-slot, and you will be able to click that quick-slot to use your special ability.
