Bridal Nymph (Alpha 0.1)
🕑 Added 2022-07-19 05:13:32 +0000 UTCUnlike many fairies within the Midnight Grove that intentionally transform others in order to simply entertain themselves, Bridal Nymphs temporarily transform others in order to gain help with their goals.
Beautiful creatures known for their ornate flowing white gowns and headdresses, Bridal Nymphs are created when other powerful fairies gain a significant longing for love and companionship, to a point where this desire consumes the majority of their thoughts.
Though Bridal Nymphs rarely leave the Midnight Grove, they wander the forest's vast expanse in search of not only their ideal partner, but their ideal wedding. When a creature comes in contact with a Bridal Nymph, there are three possible outcomes:
Firstly, and most rarely, the Bridal Nymph finds the individual to be their true love, requesting their hand in marriage.
Secondly, the Bridal Nymph has no particular interest in the individual, ignoring its presence.
Lastly, the Bridal Nymph takes a liking to the individual for a reason ranging from enjoying its personality to thinking its skill set could assist in wedding preparations. In this case, the Bridal Nymph enchants and (if necessary) transforms the target, converting it into one of its bridesmaids. As this enchantment and transformation last until the Bridal Nymph has been married, this often causes a transformed individual to shift their priorities to trying to find a fitting partner for the Nymph as soon as possible. It's not uncommon for a Bridal Nymph to take a liking to a party of adventurers, "recruiting them" as the Nymph's bridal party.
Though the transformative effects of a Bridal Nymph can be incredibly inconvenient, once the Nymph has been married, not only is each creature it had transformed returned to normal, but they are also bestowed with the Nymph's Blessing, allowing them to find love for themselves whilst warding off unwanted charms.

Infatuating Linguist: If the Bridal Nymph speaks to a non-hostile creature for at least one minute, it can choose to have that creature roll 1d6, adding their resolve. If the total is 12 or less, that creature becomes charmed by the Bridal Nymph. This charmed effect lasts indefinitely. However, at the end of each hour, this roll may be repeated in order to attempt to break this effect. While a creature is charmed this way, they cannot attack the Bridal Nymph or target it with harmful spells or effects. Additionally, a creature charmed this way views the Bridal Nymph as a friendly ally.
Bride's Blessing: As a one-handed action, the Bridal Nymph can target one of its Bridesmaids within three spaces of it.

Bridesmaid Recruitment: As a two-handed action, the Bridal Nymph can target any number of creatures within three spaces of it or any one creature within six spaces of it. Each target must roll 1d6, adding their resolve. If the total is 12 or less, that creature is afflicted with the Bridesmaid Enchantment. A creature charmed by the Bridal Nymph automatically fails this roll. This enchantment can only be removed once the Bridal Nymph has been wed.
Bridesmaid Enchantment: You have been selected by the Bridal Nymph to be one of her loyal Bridesmaids to ensure she is wed without a hitch. Your gender becomes female if it isn't already. Your makeup and hair are automatically done in a glamorous style specified by the Bridal Nymph and cannot be altered for as long as you bear this enchantment. All armor you wear automatically transform into a dress in a style and color of the Bridal Nymph's specifications. All weapons you hold transform into a bouquet for as long as you hold it. Magic items transformed this way lose their magical properties while transformed this way but regain this properties when they return to normal. While enchanted this way you can cast spells from the Bridal Nymph's spell list with MP costs 10 or less (though you still must spend MP to cast them. Additionally, you add +3 to all diplomacy and knowledge rolls regarding wedding-based affairs.
Wedding Ceremony: If a Bridal Nymph undergoes a one-hour wedding ritual to become married to a humanoid, fairy, angel, or demon, each creature afflicted with the Bridesmaid Enchantment loses this enchantment and permanently gains the Bride's Blessing.
Bride's Blessing: You add +3 to all diplomacy rolls related to seduction and/or romance. Additionally, you are immune to the charmed condition.
Additionally, as the Wedding Ceremony concludes, the Bridal Nymph becomes the same species as its partner. It gains any racial traits their partner has, loses Fairy Flight, and otherwise maintains its abilities and stats.
