06-22-07, 07:11 AM There isn't one SS, so I built this. Is there one already on the forum? If so, direct me and I'll review it.

This particular nymph has been slightly cut down to take out the spells, and the LA/CR was lowered accordingly.

06-22-07, 08:18 AM And don't fey have d6 hitdice, rather than d8?

It's pretty interesting, but do you really think losing 7th level druid casting is worth -2LA? I think it's worth more of a cutdown, especially considering it's a high ECL monster we're talking about. She'd be worthless if she was ECL11 and not able to do much. The Nymph is over LAed as it is...

It was lowered. To what I don't know. I'm thinking 6HD + 5LA.

That's what I've done

Usually, but nymphs get d8s in the MM

06-22-07, 09:52 AM I can assure you they don't. I have it open in front of me right now. They use a d6 hit die.

06-22-07, 03:38 PM I didn't think they had a level adjusment entry in the MM. Is there one in soem diffrent book?

Nymphs have d6 hit die, and a BAB of +3, not +5. Fey Hit die: d6, Good Ref, Will, Poor BAB.

The BAB and saves are seriously messed up. :o You're counting the LA as levels for BAB and saves!

Nymph's seem quite popular on this board. See my signature for my Nymph monster class write-up.

06-24-07, 12:42 PM Aha, cheers. I'm very new to monster classes, so my building of them is somewhat sucky....

Your one doesn't seem to list the CR...but very good otherwise.

I'm going to work on an urban nymph (if that makes sense), it'll fit my campaign better. Thanks for spotting the faults with this one.
