This is a official creature but in my oppinion CR this creature should be at least CR 2.  ('<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />')Oppinions ?The Creature is show below.Leanan Sidhe                      Medium-Sized Fey                      Hit Dice: 2d6 (7 hp)                    Initiative: +1                     Speed: 30 ft.AC: 11 (+1 Dex), touch 11, flat-footed 10Attacks: Dagger +1 meleeDamage: Dagger 1d4Face/Reach: 5 ft. x 5 ft./5 ft.Special Attacks: Kiss of death, inspire despairSpecial Qualities: Alter form, inspire creativity, low-light visionSaves: Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +5Abilities: Str 10, Dex 13, Con 10, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 18Skills: Appraise +5, Diplomacy +8, Disguise +9, Hide +8, Knowledge(local) +7, Listen +7, Move Silently +5, Perform (any five) +9, Sense Motive +7, Spot +7Feats: Dodge, Skill Focus (Hide), Ability Focus (inspire despair)Climate/Terrain: Any forest, plains, or hillsOrganization: SolitaryChallenge Rating: 1Treasure: NoneAlignment: Always neutralAdvancement: By character classKnown as exotic and mysterious beauties, these fey creatures bring inspiration and despair. If a mortal misuses their gifts, they become dark destroyers. Leanan sidhe are the muses of the faerie world, bringing gifts of creativity and inspiration to mortal humanoids. These beautiful creatures appear as either male or female, but they have a charisma that attracts beyond the power of beauty alone. They seem alive and vibrant, more so even than most other faerie creatures. Only faerie folk can see their natural forms, which are quite beautiful.  However, leanan sidhe can appear to mortals in various guises -- they tailor their appearance to best suit their chosen protógé.    Leanan sidhe exist to interact with mortals and inspire them to great creative works. The faerie chooses a mortal humanoid gifted in one of the arts: poetry, painting, singing, or other form. The creature stays with this mortal a few days, inspiring him or her to create great works. The period is one of intense passion and emotion for the mortal and the leanan sidhe, as they often share an intimate relationship while the faerie is present. When the creature departs, the mortal falls into despair for a day, hardly wanting to do anything and thinking all life is hollow and empty. This passes eventually, leaving the mortal sadder but able again to create.    The leanan sidhe becomes a dangerous fiend if its gifts are misused. The leanan sidhe call mortals to exalted levels of creativity: the epic poem, the masterwork painting. Simply using a leanan sidhe’s gift to entertain at the local tavern, or not using it at all, causes the faerie to punish the mortal. The  sidhe seduces the mortal, and then drains energy levels from him or her. In extreme cases, the  faerie leaves the poor victim to die a languishing death, an example to others. This power is used only to punish mortals, never under other circumstances such as combat.   Leanan sidhe speak Sylvan and Common.                      COMBAT   Leanan sidhe do not engage in combat except to defend themselves, and they are poor combatants.   Kiss of Death (Su): The kiss of a leanan sidhe resembles a magical disease with an incubationperiod of one day. After this period, should the subject have used the recently acquired creative gifts foolishly or not at all, the victim must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 15). On a failure, the subject  begins to languish, losing 1d4 Constitution points. The victim repeats the save daily; a success  prevents the Constitution-points for that day only. The sidhe’s continued presence (within 30 feet) following the incubation period delays the onset of the effects; in such a case the victim need not make the first save until the sidhe’s departure. The kiss of death special ability can be stopped only through a wish or miracle. Subjects who used their creative powers wisely need not attempt the save at all.   Inspire Despair (Su): The presence of the leanan sidhe is so compelling that no other experiencecan equal it. Thus, when the chosen mortal is out of the sidhe’s presence after having benefited atleast once from the insight bonus of the inspire creativity special ability below, he or she feelsdepressed and unable to create. The mortal must attempt a Will save (DC 15) or suffer the effects of despair. This translates to a –2 circumstance penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks, plus the loss of any Dexterity bonus to AC. Further, the mortal suffers a –10 insight penalty to all Perform and Craft checks. The period of despair lasts for 24 hours from the time the sidhe departs, and during this time the mortal laments the loss of inspiration and companion. Thus, if the sidhe departs and then returns, the poor subject swings from the heights of exhilaration to the depths of despair. This ability is usable at a range of 30 feet once per day (the sidhe uses it just prior to departing).Alter Form (Su): Leanan sidhe can appear as Small or Medium-size male or female humanoids ofany race. They can change forms at will up to three times per day as a standard action that doesnot provoke an attack of opportunity. The sidhe’s attack rolls, natural armor bonus, and saves do not change whatever its new form. The creature does not gain any special abilities, attack forms,defenses, ability scores, or mannerisms of its chosen form. If slain, the sidhe automatically returns to its normal form. If the sidhe uses this ability to create a disguise, it enjoys a +10 bonus on its Disguise check. Each use of this ability lasts eight hours.Inspire Creativity (Su): To the chosen mortal, the leanan sidhe grants a depth of creative inspiration that is unparalleled. This gift grants a +10 insight bonus to any Perform or Craft skillchecks made in the creative effort. Once a subject uses this insight bonus, he becomes subject tothe inspire despair special ability (above). The gift remains for 24 hours. The sidhe can grant this gift once per day, and it remains effective only when the creature within 30 feet. Low-Light Vision: The leanan sidhe can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight,torchlight, and similar low-light conditions.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
