Passives
Spellcasting (grove-glamour)
Beauty is her weapon and the wild her ally; her glamour dazzles admirers while thorns answer her call, and lesser magic cannot hold her.
Maneuvers
Blinding Beauty
Every creature within 30 ft that can see the nymph makes a Heart save (DC 15) or is blinded for 1 round.
Verdant Surge
Roots and briar burst from the ground in a 30 ft radius. Each creature there makes a Body save (DC 15); on a failure it takes 3 damage and is restrained until the end of its next turn, on a success it takes 1 Vigor damage.
Reactions
Fey Rebuke
When struck by a melee attack, the attacker makes a Heart save (DC 15) or cannot attack the nymph for 1 round.
Tactics
GM tactics
Opens with Blinding Beauty to disable the group. Verdant Surge pins the ones who can still see her. Fey Rebuke punishes those who attack her directly. Retreats into nature if overwhelmed.

Rules
- Shield of Tier + Heart mod over a Vitality pool of 2 x Tier. Full Vigor at combat start; at the start of its turn it rolls 3 exploding d4s and regains 1 Vigor per 4. Dead at 0 Vigor and 0 Vitality.
- A hit rolls d8. A crit rolls two: 2d8.
- Crits on a natural 16+ (Cunning 18).
- Two or three attacks in a normal turn: multiattack is the threat scaler, and one swing a round makes it a mook.
- Checks morale at one-third Vitality: Heart save against the party leader's presence, or GM judgment.
- NPCs never take wounds.
