This is a little something for anyone who has wanted to play as a fey type character, but without the exorbant ECLs. I also wanted a balanced race that featured a charisma bonus. I was shooting for a +0 ECL with this, I think I'm just about on target. Its a tad stronger than the half-elf, but then again what isn't?
The basic idea is that nymphs can only crossbreed with elves, since they are the most similar race.
The Half-Nymph
• Cha +2, Str -2, Con -2
• Medium: As Medium creatures, Half-Nymphs have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Half-Nymph base land speed is 30 feet.
• Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects, and a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells or effects.
• Low-Light Vision: A half-nymph can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
• +1 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.
• Elven Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-nymph is considered an elf.
• Fey Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-nymph is considered a fey.
• Automatic Languages: Common, Elven and Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, and Orc
• Wild Empathy: A half-nymph can improve the attitude of an animal as if she were a 1st level druid, if the half-nymph is also a druid then she recieves a +2 bonus to the check.
• Dazzling Gaze: As a standard action, a half-nymph can daze a creature within 30 feet with a look. The target creature must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Cha modifier) or be dazed for 1 round. This is a supernatural ability, and can be used 3/day.
• Favored Class: Druid. A multiclass half-nymph’s druid class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty.
