hammer_hand 11-20-05, 04:29 PM	One of the NPCs in my current adventure is a nymph but she differs so hugely from the archetypical innocent little girl in the woods that i'm worried thatshe no longer has enough nymph left in her. My problems are these: 1) She never mentions or thinks about nature at all and sees it as a useless waste of time 2)She is really really trashy! She wears very tight very short clothes that leave virtually nothing to the imagination and trys to seduce the PC just for the hell of it 3) She is working as a receptionist for a goblin diplomat in the big city and also acting as his elicit lover So in a nut shell she is more like a chaotic neutral succubus without the wings or level draining! Have I gone too far?!?!?!

hammer_hand 11-20-05, 04:37 PM	I can tell you NOW that this post will get more traffic and less posts than any of it's peers. Not quite the answer I was looking for!
General_Ridley 11-20-05, 04:44 PM	she is most certainly not a nymph anymore. Have a god strip her of her nymphyness and make her a troll instead as punishment.
MinusInnocence 11-20-05, 04:49 PM	Clearly something has happened to make her behave this way. Try to think about what Nymphs represent in your game and imagine a way for her to have fallen from that standard of living. I don't particularly see this as a problem but if you can explain how the Nymph in question ended up where she is today, and she expresses a genuine desire to return to her roots, it might be an interesting adventure for the PCs to convince her to seek therapy of some sort.
Number One Tira Groupie 11-20-05, 04:51 PM	Is she willing to have an affair with me? If not, than she isn't drunk enough. I mean, she hasn't gone far enough. Even though nymphs are spirits of nature, they don't have to be a stereotype. If your game allows for fallen angels or redeemed demons, than not only CAN you have a trashy nymph, if I was your player, I would insist on it. Yours Truly, Deshawn Williams The Number One Tira Groupie
hammer_hand 11-20-05, 04:56 PM	Ok, a quick note to any idealists out there. She loves living in tthe city and being the way she is and getting laid every night of the week. She has no desire to go back to nature in any non dirty sense. Also her backstory is her mother tried to force her into an oath of celibacy in dedication to ehlona when she was at the volatile age of 13 and she rebeld, leaving home and vowing to do everything her mother despised, basically being trashy, gatting laid and living in the city really!
Andrewinator 11-20-05, 05:00 PM	I can tell you NOW that this post will get more traffic and less posts than any of it's peers. Hey, I completely agree. I see the topic title, and I'm like "hmm, I wonder if there's a picture!" :p

pwatson1974 11-20-05, 05:05 PM	Doesn't really matter what she wears. Blinding Beauty is a permanent effect. Anyone who sees her must make a save or go blind. So no problem being a trashy, sex-obsessed nymph, but she's going to leave a trail of blind people in her wake. And some of them will have very, very vengeful parents. I mean, not only leading their 'baby boy' astray, but blinding him to boot?

I mean, not only leading their 'baby boy' astray, but blinding him to boot? A nymph can suppress her blinding beauty ability as a free action and Thlo, the trashy nymph, finds that its always best to do this in the big city as law enforcement doesn't look too kindly on the removal of peoples vision!
Number One Tira Groupie 11-20-05, 05:11 PM	OK people lets stay on topic here. I need some help damn you!!!!!!!!!!! Personally, I don't think you do at all. Your trashy sex-o-phile nymph is the only thing keeping ME interested in your game and qute possibly its the only thing keeping your players interested in the game. Hopefully, the nymph doesn't know this yet, or she'll be demanding a lot more money when her contract is up. Than you'll have a problem. Best Regards, Deshawn Williams The Number One Tira Groupie
hammer_hand 11-20-05, 05:13 PM	1) Was that a criticism or compliment 2) She doesn't play a huge part but after what you said maybe she should join the PC 3) Are you saying that the nymph is fine and shouldn't be turned into a troll or some such punishment incurred?
DogOnWheels 11-20-05, 05:19 PM	*sigh* another misogynistic male as female gender bender. If I'm wrong let me know.
hammer_hand 11-20-05, 05:22 PM	*sigh* another misogynistic male as female gender bender. If I'm wrong let me know. I'm letting you know boyo! Right now i am so very letting you know!
Number One Tira Groupie 11-20-05, 05:24 PM	I'm pretty sure it wasn't either, I'm just saying, a loose nymph running around is not a problem, unless she's a gold digger, but that goes without saying. No one is saying they should drag the tart around or anything, I'm just saying turning her into a troll makes NO sense. In fact, were that to happen and I was a player, Butch Cleavity (my character) would go on a quest to slay whoever done that to my piece and turn her back to the fine leg of lamb she once was. That's what we call in this business a plot hook. Keep it real, Deshawn Williams The Number One Tira Groupie

lord warrior 11-20-05, 05:30 PM	... Have I gone too far?!?!?! No. That nymph could be a paladin.
hammer_hand 11-20-05, 05:33 PM	No. That nymph could be a paladin. Umm... Now you have really lost me? Aren't paladins supposed to have a strict code? Seduction and an unhealthy addiction to sex just doesn't scream lawful for me.
mrshupizdumaterinu 11-20-05, 05:46 PM	No. That nymph could be a paladin. I fully support this view. D&D needs more nymph paladin prostitutes.
DogOnWheels 11-20-05, 05:50 PM	If I knew who you where then I would kick your lily ass so hard you wouldn't be able to sit for a month! Er, okay. Thankfully we have the anonymity of the internet to protect us from whoopin's. Secondly, you probably spend countless hours perched in front of yr PC, & don't get around to physical fitness, let alone kicking butt. May I recommend starting with light weights, say a dictionary? And finally, you wouldn't hit a girl w/ glasses, would you?
Number One Tira Groupie 11-20-05, 05:51 PM	My, Hammer_Hand, it seems you've gotten TWO people in about an hour to become converts to your DMing style, myself and mrufhsjdkhfsjkgn.

You have a nymphomaniac nympth NPC, and your asking what should happen to her? Just what significance does this NPC have to the story? Do you want to get rid of her, or just figure out what should happen to her?

Count Arioch the 28th 11-20-05, 06:07 PM	I think this is the worst thread outside the mature forums. And that says an awful lot. Your character is a lame stereotype designed to titilate 14-year-olds. That being said, do whatever the hell you want, and come back when you want to design an in-depth character that isn't someone's wank fantasy.
Balor von Balorvitch 11-20-05, 06:10 PM	If thats the style she plays then so be it, it really doesn't go so far out of a Nymphs nature to go around the track a few times. Maybe more revrance to nature but the trashy part is ok. (watch out for stds!) but she would be loath to do a goblin i think as it does not conform to her perception of comeliness. and if she can gain postion (no pun intended) by what she does she should take it. "I an't sayin shes a gold digger; Be she an't messin with no broke, broke, broke."

Have I gone too far?!?!?! why is she going out with a goblin diplomat when she could be going out with an elf? and why aren't there nymphs like that walking around my neighborhood?
lord warrior 11-20-05, 06:29 PM	And why not go out with goblin diplomat? She probably wants something exotic, and elves are certainly not exotic race.
mrshupizdumaterinu 11-20-05, 06:33 PM	And why not go out with goblin diplomat? Aye, if she is a paladin prostitute, he must be a diplomat pimp. Only makes sense that way.
Kresalak 11-20-05, 06:42 PM	This thread has brought much funny. You want to know if you've gone too far? That depends. Are your players a bunch of hormone crazy 13 year olds? If so, then you have not. Are your players looking for a serious game? Consider killing the nymph off, or at least making her more... interesting, for lack of a better word. NOTE: Interesting does not mean trashier. It means less one dimensional.
Evil DM Mk3 11-20-05, 06:43 PM	Just so everyone knows, there is more than one DM who has used this character idea. Tis I (and to get all missconceptions out of the way) Welsh bespecticaled male 18 DM of 4 years knowladge Evil DM Mk3. Fear my aditional updates! Seriously though my fey are EVIL. With a capital pleasure hunter. Odd fact though this nymph was not a standard fey but a "valshut" or, in common "court and blood traitor". That is to say, she was one of the nice ones. Still CE but "I want to mess with your mind and toy with you" not "I want to see how long it takes for you to die, and if you ever stop grinning." Also all my elves are +2LA fey, just a side note. Also if you wnat to be taken seriously, never more than 3 !s, 5 if you are making a specific discworld referance. Oh and if by some freak chance you live in the UK, boyo is officially a racist slur, so watch it.
Gundragon 11-20-05, 07:02 PM	Oh and if by some freak chance you live in the UK, boyo is officially a racist slur, so watch it. WTF? I live in the UK. Since when is boyo a racist slur? First I've heard of it. Anyways, topic in hand, yeah, if this PC is really bothering you, kill her off, end the campaign, start again. If you are all enjoying it or whatever, then keep dooing it. We're here to have fun after all. (Syphilis plzkthxbye)
Jancarius 11-20-05, 07:28 PM	I fully support this view. D&D needs more nymph paladin prostitutes. Only a narrow shred of dignity stands between you and being sigged, sir. Sounds like an Unseelie nymph. A what?

If you haven't commited to the back story you could alter her and simply make her an Urban Fey. A creature not spawned from the glory of nature, but the bizzare cluster f**k that is city living. :) Even if you don't want to alter the back story you make it so she has transformed into an Urban Fey do to her time within the city. This is a way to explain her unusual behavior without having the fey thing get in the way.

Have I gone too far?!?!?! with regards to your second point, i dont see how you could not have... but cute fuzzy animals, they destroy evil where ever they go... magicaly...
feartheinvinceblehamster 11-20-05, 09:25 PM	My view on this topic: The idea is fine, except "Finding out where people are and telling them to shut the **** up" Is not something you brag about. You are a miserable exscuse for a human being. I hate your family for raising you so poorly. But most of all, I hate you and your miserable little troll love. I vote we turn him(Yes hammerhand, I can tell your a guy) into a troll as punishment. Or I could be wrong, but I'm almost dead sure that hammerhand is a guy.

It may not be that great, but -I- found it funny. Also, does anyone else realize that a nymph wearing any clothes at all is considerably more conservative then the nymph shown in the MM?

Jaxgaret 11-20-05, 10:22 PM	3) She is working as a receptionist for a goblin diplomat in the big city and also acting as his elicit lover Main Entry: elic·it Pronunciation: i-'li-s&t Function: transitive verb Etymology: Latin elicitus, past participle of elicere, from e- + lacere to allure 1 : to draw forth or bring out (something latent or potential) <hypnotism elicited his hidden fears> 2 : to call forth or draw out (as information or a response) <her remarks elicited cheers> What is she trying to elicit from the goblin diplomat? Perhaps trade secrets of the kingdom? Or his diamond in the rough personality? I love the smell of counter-trolling in the morning.
Sangredwarf89 11-21-05, 01:06 AM	hammer hand im pretty sure your trashy nymph is a pc, and if she is its up to her if she wants to through it around like a paper boy. she sounds like she needs some real life action. if you realy have a problem with her being loose punish her with being a human, or if that aint enough, a troll. everyone else...grow up, this girl is trying to get some help and your acting extreamly immature. if ur doing nothing but looking for someone to laugh at, im sure theres a mirror somewhere in your house. By the way hammer hand, i have a beautiful girl friend and still think nymphs are hot. nice name
prozacman 11-21-05, 01:39 AM	And finally, you wouldn't hit a girl w/ glasses, would you? only if she asked nicely... ... sorry, couldn't help it, this thread has temporarily robbed my sanity. GO CATFIGHT GO! as far as the... <searches for a PC term for it> ...'socially' free nymph, i say down with racial steriotypes in DND. Bring on the LG paladin baloths, the urban nymphs, the CE blink hounds, and the non-violent mimics. but if it bugs you, your the DM, have her assassinated... but if you do i'll cry. and you dont wanna see a grown man cry do you?

leo54304 11-21-05, 11:33 AM	I just to add a semi serious reply to the original question on whether you've gone too far. I play the game somewhat loose with the rules if its a great idea and I like your breaking the stereotypical portrait of the nymph. Good for you and also coming up with a secret she has (which every NPC should have as well as one distinctive physical trait). I'd also suggest using her a contact for the group to take possible jobs for her boss in addition to driving the guys crazy with her wiles. After all when Steve Englehart was writing the Avengers in the 70's that was one of the reasons he created and added the character Mantis to the team--to come on to different members of the team to create some sexual tension. As a last tip play her as a nymph version of Britney Spears when she first started, innocent doe eyes, skimpy outfits that only hinted of what lay beneath emphasizing her legs, mid section and puckish breasts. Yes it sounds sexist but an NPC like that can keep the PCs interest in game or current adventure even when the adventure might be flat or you're not on your game as a GM. I always keep an ace like to help me when I GM.
olshanski_home 11-21-05, 11:49 AM	but she differs so hugely from the archetypical innocent little girl in the woods that i'm worried thatshe no longer has enough nymph left in her.What cave have you been living in? "innocent little girl"?! Have you ever heard of a word called "nymphomaniac?" The word Nymph comes from the greek word for Bride. The only older cliche that I can think of is the hooker with the heart of gold. Your character is a lame stereotype designed to titilate 14-year-olds.I think that stereotypes are quite useful in D&D words. Not every character is unique. It is nice to have a few standbys that you can rely on and set the stage with minimal time... you've got the ex-adventuerer tavern-owner; the lecherous tax collector; the hooker with a heart of gold; the dumb-as-rocks barbarian; the flamboyant bard; the tough tomboy chick who rejects feminine sensibilities; the prude paladin; the insane wizard with out-of-control experiements; the dwarves that have dug too deep and uncovered forgotton evil; etcetera. I think it is also designed to titilate pretty much any tween-through-adult male. I wouldn't limit it to 14 year olds. There is nothing wrong with having a loose nymph running around. There is a problem with thinking that it is original and not understanding the literary history and context of the character.
Sulaco 11-21-05, 12:08 PM	One of the NPCs in my current adventure is a nymph but she differs so hugely from the archetypical innocent little girl in the woods that i'm worried thatshe no longer has enough nymph left in her.

Have I gone too far?!?!?! You haven't gone too far, this thing simply isn't a nymph. Calling it one is both confusing and poinltess.

cypherx 11-21-05, 05:46 PM	no. in fact, you have done great. as an even better twist, have her turn out to be a succubi with the wings and level draining, and have her seduce a PC who pisses you off! or you can just keep her as she is. as a dm, i once played an intelligent broom of flying with a low self-esteem. if you didn't make him feel good about himself, he turned into the cursed variety of a broom of flying. once he attacked an arch-mage who the pc's were trying to negotiate with.
The White Sorcerer 11-21-05, 05:52 PM	Seduction and an unhealthy addiction to sex just doesn't scream lawful for me. It doesn't necessarily scream non-lawful, either. And it's not against the paladin's code to have an unhealthy addiction to sex. It's not even against the code to act on the addiction. Is the character disrupting the campaign? If so, remove her. If not, there is no problem.
OctoberRaven 11-21-05, 06:15 PM	The group before the one I'm playing with now had a homosexual paladin who tried to get some *ahem* fun from the prince in exchange for rescuing him and a cleric who was obsessive over her +2 Masterwork Elven Maxi Pads. The Anti-Nymph would fit right in with that bunch, she would.
FriendoftheDork 11-21-05, 06:38 PM	Sounds like a fun Nymph to me. With their "innocent" outlook on sex and complete lack of shame, they can surely raise some anger among the city's more puritarian citizens. The not liking nature part is strange though... but then again if you can have good drow running around making people happy, why can't you have nymphs running away from the pond, tired of the relentless frolicking of her people, and out for some good FUN? And skimply clothes, hehe most nymphes would be "a naturelle", hidden only by thick underbrush or pond lillies. As for the paladin issue, there are bound to be differences among them. A Paladin of a chaste god will act in that manner, one serving a godess of LOVE will be quite differently....But there is nothing in the class itself that require paladins to be chaste, humorless misfits that wake up 5 every morning to cleanse himself of sin of the "early morning riser".
onlybrownguy 11-21-05, 07:16 PM	ok correct me if i'm wrong but your the dm so change the damn nymph! or if you're not willing to do that say she is a different kind of nymph one that is flirty, wears tight clothing, and plays a hot lover. what does it matter, the transforming of her into a troll is ridiculous (what is the point of the npc then). A nymp like that adds flavor in to the game and as long as your players don't care whats the big deal?
Leibel 11-21-05, 07:25 PM	You could make her a Paladin of Chaos(CE Pally variation) who hate's nature. That would be more messed up. Or maybe that destruction oriented Druid PrC for ex-Druids. And she's not a nymph anymore. She might well just as be a Chaotic(Good? Evil? Neutral?) Rogue with lots of ranks in Bluff(the ability used to seduce people according to the ultimate drow book).
The White Sorcerer 11-21-05, 08:59 PM	Oh and if by some freak chance you live in the UK, boyo is officially a racist slur, so watch it. How on Earth can 'boyo' be a racist slur? It doesn't even refer to any particular race. It could be, at most, a sexist slur against those of the male sex.
BeyondFated 11-21-05, 09:21 PM	I can say only one thing. DMs asking how to run an NPC, a NPC they have complete control over mind you, is just stupid. It's like saying, "How do I work my hand?" Sometimes I wonder about the people of today...
b5201 11-21-05, 09:33 PM	im sure somebody has already said this check out the views :eek:
FireJewel 11-21-05, 10:37 PM	I fully support this view. D&D needs more nymph paladin prostitutes. Oh God... please don't give my players any more idea. I can't imagine what the requests would be like. Besides, that's not a core class... Or is it? Race: Nymph Paladin: X Level Expert?: X Level Argh! :banghead:

Race: Nymph Paladin: X Level Expert?: X Level Argh! :banghead: Definitely give her lots of ranks in a few Perform skills. :D

Back in the early days of psychology, it was considered unnatural for women to desire sex, and it was classified as a mental illness. Psychologists have mostly dropped the term, and replaced with with Hyper-sexual disorder, which means what people think nymphomaniac means.

In fact boyo originated from that aborrent slang known today as "wenglish", back then the use of english words in the welsh syntax and gramar, but to day these two part are inverted for the most part. Boyo is a welsh related referance, and wales is a country by nearly all standards of measure.

Back in the early days of psychology, it was considered unnatural for women to desire sex, and it was classified as a mental illness.The question was directed at the OP. The word "nymph" has a meaning closer to sex than chaste, and having a nymph that desires/engages in sex is neither new, nor out of character.
Count Arioch the 28th 11-22-05, 10:01 AM	The question was directed at the OP. Then you should have sent it as a PM, if it's asked in public, I'm going to answer it.
UltimateReality 11-22-05, 10:11 AM	This thread has brought back my faith in these boards... :weep: I love you guys.... :inlove: *ponders the possibility that hammer_hand has been studying the texts of the Righteous One and the import that could have* Granted, his forms are vastly different, but the techniques show similarity. Perhaps if he studies more, he shall achieve something much more akin to His work.

Sorry to all} :clap: :clap: :clap: Sorry but I think that this sort of behaviour deserves to be rewarded. Granted Olshanski_home should not have been a jerk, but he (used here as a generic pronoun for a person or persons (although in this case persons is unlikely unless the acount is shared) unlknown.) is a better man (used here to denote a member of the human race as a replacement for human being due to length and person due to the lack of personilsation that this term implies due to its denial of gender in the broader sence.) than I. :clap: Good man (see earlier brachets). *please note brachets included due to the face females have been detected in the thread and no offence is inteded, also I think PC (in this use refering to political correctness, not police consatbles or player characters.) is a waste of vaulaubel time and thought I could make a point here.

mrmoot 11-22-05, 05:31 PM	Hello, my name is MrMoot, and I'm from Kansas City. One time I had relations with two girls at once. Well not really, but they let me watch them have relations with each other. Actually I think they just failed to notice me, they were really going at it. It was pretty cool.
