Rystil's Neospelljamming Gestalt Setting: Berserker and Eldritch Infiltrator Up!

[Rystil Arden]

The Tralg berserker sounds like a lot of fun! If you think the large size won't be problematic I'd like to give that a try!

K, just be careful of: +8 STR -2 DEX +4 CON -4 INT -2 WIS -4 CHA
And they also have Light Sensitivity. But they do get Twice their Con bonus to HP at level one, during their Giant level before they can take Berserker.

Nymph:
(stats as type)
Type- Fey, female only, generated by Amaranthian natural energy
Society- Peaceful society of equals, based on friendship and favors
Appearance- Vibrantly beautiful, hair and eye colors depend on type

What are the different stats for each type? (Oh I'll ask about appearances next if need be. )

On Nymphs (Rystil's Nymphonomicon):

There are so many nymph types that my policy with that has been to invent the stats as there is interest in them. The one closest to the MM nymph in arrangement of stats would probably be the Naiad, as indeed that is what the MM nymph is. Nymphs formed from the breezes and clouds have better Dex, flower nymphs have high Cha, tree nymphs have good Wis, and mountain/subterranean nymphs, unlike the others, also have slight bonuses to Str/Con. Meliai, as the first nymphs, are somewhat more primordial and have lower Int, etc.

Appearances and colouring are unique to each nymph, as perfect beauty would soon become stale if it was repeated identically hundreds of time, but they are based upon the elemental natural energies which generated them (as follows):

[SBLOCK]
Haliai/Nereids: Sea Nymphs
Naiads: Freshwater Nymphs
Oceanids/Nephelai: Cloud Nymphs
Oreads: Mountain Nymphs
Dryads-
Meliai: Ash Tree Nymphs
Hamadryads: Oak Tree Nymphs
Meliads/Epimelids: Fruit Tree Nymphs
Daphniai: Laurel Tree Nymphs
Aurai: Breeze Nymphs
Anthousa: Flower Nymphs
Lampaids: Subterranean Nymphs

You cheater! You asked about appearances when I first checked this thread. Curse you and your take-back-so-quickly-that-ENWorld-can't-notice-the-edit!

I wanted both, I just figured I should be nicer in how I asked it...

Intrested in:

Aurai: Breeze Nymphs
Anthousa: Flower Nymphs
Oceanids/Nephelai: Cloud Nymphs

And then whatever sort of tree best suits your Amazon. (not sure if their more topical inclined or not.)

Ya, from your comment about liking Rogues and arcane casters, I was going to suggest Eldritch Infiltrators too Dolathi (shape-shifting cosmopolitan beings native to Kanath) are more-or-less the only Eldritch Infiltrators, and they are very good at it. In my first playtest, Foresight the Eldritch Infiltrator saved the Samurai and the Enchantress from certain death by a combination of Bluffing, Ventriloquism, and Ghost Sound

Definitely sounds like a combination, which would end up in the top rankings for me.

Alterian Arcanist would also be interesting, depending on what Keia decides upon, or maybe Sidhe Siren, but the Infiltrator is my favorite currently. Would be cool to see a more detailed description of the class, just to find out, if there is anything I really don't like at all, but that's not very likely.

Nymphonomicon Part 2 (or: Rystil knows too much about women in Greek mythology for his own good):

[SBLOCK]
Aurai:
-2 Str, +6 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Wis, +2 Cha
Flighty and capricious, breeze nymphs are born from the winds that peregrinate across the vast spaces of Amaranthia. Graceful and seeming to glide across the ground as they walk, those who take levels in Nymph eventually gain wings, able to soar through the sky like the winds themselves. They receive symbiosis from resting languidly in areas of high winds, unaffected by the gales compared to mere mortals, save for gentle zephyrs that tousle their hair about, a sensation that the Aurai enjoy. Aurai colouring depends on which sort of wind they represent, but skin is often creamy white with pastel-coloured hair and eyes.

Anthousa:
-2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Wis, +6 Cha
The loveliest of nymphs, they are sometimes classified together with the cloud nymphs if for no better reason than that they are nurtured by the life-giving rain. They are delicate and fragile, but kind, although some are good-naturedly prideful of their beauty. Those who take levels in Nymph receive an additional beauty effect, and they receive symbiosis from luxuriantly resting in a field of flowers, basking in the sunlight or bathing in the nourishing rain; like a vascular plant, the process is expedited based on exposed surface area, so they prefer to do this nude. Anthousa skin tone varies, although their hair and eyes are always vibrantly coloured, like flowers.

Oceanids/Nephelai:
-2/-4 Str, +4 Dex, -2 Con, +0/+2 Int, +2/+4 Wis, +4/+2 Cha
Sometimes classed together, the Oceanids are airy cloud nymphs whereas the Nephelai are sly ephemeral mist nymphs. They are born from the evaporation of water from their father, the ocean, hence the name. Those who take levels in Nymph eventually gain the ability to enter gaseous form, and they receive symbiosis from rain or fog and mist, respectively. Oceanids and Nephelai have pale skin and wispy hair, but the Oceanids tend to have more colour in their hair and their eyes, which are wider and kinder, whereas the Nephelai's are narrower and coy.

And the Dryad that fits best with Amazon varies depending on what type of Amazon you want to play. Amazons make good use of many stats, so for instance, the Meliai have the best Strength among Dryads, but they have an Int penalty.

For Eldritch Infiltrator, think a Sorcerer who has all the Rogue abilities and has sneaky Ex abilities to mask the magic auras of their magic against Detect Magic (Ex because that way you can't detect the ability, of course ) and pretend that they are casting their spells as if they were some other class (for deep cover as another spellcasting class) and such.

Well I don't like negatives to intelligence and I prefer fast agile fighters to strong power attack hackers but I guess I won't know till I see the dryads.

You'll probably want the Daphniai then. Meliai get a bit of Strength, Hamas get Con, Meliads get some Cha and Int, and Daphniai have good Dex among the Dryads. There's also Aigeiroi (black poplar nymphs), Ameploi (grape vine nymphs), Balanis (acorn nymphs), Karyai (hazel-nut nymphs), Kraneiai (cherry-tree nymphs), Moreai (mulberry nymphs), Pteleai (elm nymphs), and Sykei (fig nymphs), if any of those concepts interest you.

Daphniai:
-2 Str, +4 Dex, +2 Wis, +2 Cha
Named after Daphne, a legendary Dryad who is rumoured to be the first Laurel-Tree Nymph, the Daphniai are often somewhat shy compared to other Nymphs, but quick and agile, often enjoying playful games of tag amongst the trees with their fellows. Like most Dryads, Daphniai who take levels in Nymph can gain a Treestride ability, and they receive symbiosis from contact with laurel trees, often resting peacefully against the trunk or tangled lovingly within the branches. Daphniai often have white, green, or pink hair, and eyes of the latter two colours.
