{"name":"Naiad Queen","level":"7","rarity":"Uncommon","alignment":"CG","size":"Medium","traits":"Amphibious, Fey, Nymph, Water","type":"Creature","imageid":"","about":"Nymphs are a family of fey that take the form of beautiful humanoids with elven features and have a deep association with the natural world. The most common of their kind are the dryads, which are spirits that embody great trees, but many other kinds of nymphs exist, including naiads, who watch over bodies of water. All nymphs are guardians of some element of nature, typically a specific tree or pond, or even\u2014in the case of nymph queens\u2014whole forests or massive bodies of water.[br]\r\nNaiad queens rule over pristine wildernesses centered on untouched lakes or other bodies of fresh water. Bards\u2019 songs and artists\u2019 paintings of nymphs tend to depict naiad queens in their slightly more humanoid forms, which they don when they make the rare journey into civilized lands to garner allies or gauge threats.[br]\r\nMost naiad queens treat those who respect their domains with kindness, but they are fierce and quick in eliminating foes. Their blinding beauty and breadth of offensive spells make naiad queens fierce opponents if forced into a fight.","perception":"+10; Low-light vision","languages":"Common, Elven, Sylvan, [i]Speak with Animals[\/i]","skills":"Acrobatics+16, Athletics+9 (+13 to Swim), Diplomacy+20, Medicine+15, Nature+15, Performance+20, Stealth+14, Survival+15","str_mod":"0","dex_mod":"+5","con_mod":"+4","int_mod":"+3","wis_mod":"+4","cha_mod":"+7","items":"","ac":"26","st_fort":"+15","st_ref":"+18","st_will":"+17","st_notes":"","hp":"100","immunities":"","weaknesses":"Cold Iron 10","resistances":"Fire 10","speed":"25 feet; swim 25 feet","melee":"[b][one-action][\/b] Aqueous Fist +17 (agile, finesse, magical, water), Damage 2d6+6 bludgeoning","ranged":"","abilities":"[b]Change Shape [one-action][\/b] (polymorph, primal, transmutation)[br]\r\nNymph queens can transform between their original form, which looks much like a typical nymph of their kind, and any Small or Medium humanoid form, typically choosing a more humanoid-looking version of their natural form.[br]\r\n[b]Focus Beauty [one-action][\/b] (emotion, enchantment, incapacitation, mental, primal, visual)[br]\r\nOn a failed save, if the target was already affected by the naiad queen\u2019s beauty, the image of the queen sears into the creature\u2019s mind, allowing no further sight and effectively blinding the creature until restored via restore senses or a similar effect, or until the naiad queen chooses to remove the effect using a single action, which has the concentrate trait.[br]\r\n[b]Water Healing [two-actions][\/b] (concentrate, healing, necromancy, primal)[br]\r\nWhile within any body of water in her domain, the naiad queen heals 28HP.[br]\r\n[b]Inspiration [three-actions][\/b] (emotion, enchantment, mental, primal)[br]\r\nA nymph queen can inspire a single intelligent creature by giving that creature a token of her favor, typically a lock of her hair.
