Special Abilities

Profane Beauty (Su)

This ability affects all humanoids within 30 feet of a hag nymph. Those who look directly at a hag nymph must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or take 2d4 points of Strength damage. A hag nymph can suppress or resume this ability as a free action. A creature that saves or fails its save cannot be affected by the same hag nymph's profane beauty for one day. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Profane Grace (Su)

A hag nymph adds her Charisma modifier as a racial bonus on all her saving throws, and as a profane bonus to her Armor Class.

Spells

A hag nymph casts spells as a 10th-level sorcerer, and does not need any material components.

The true origins of the hag nymph are cloaked in secrecy. Tales speak of a band of nymphs that blasphemed their goddess and were punished for dare offending her. Other legends say the hag nymph is the resulting offspring of a demon and nymph. Regardless, these creatures are vile and evil and take great pleasure in tormenting others.

Hag nymphs live deep within dark forests in huts composed of mud and timber. These huts are well constructed and littered with the rotting remains of creatures they devour. Hag nymphs relish the taste of humanoid flesh, but sustain themselves on a diet of forest animals when humanoids are scarce. Forays under the cover of darkness into towns on the edge of the forest are not unheard of. In such raids, children are the most likely victims as they are easier to carry away.

Hag nymphs stand 6 feet tall and weigh 150 pounds. Their frames are somewhat emaciated, almost corpse-like in appearance. Their clothes usually carry the bloodstains of previous victims. Hag nymphs live for 150 years.

Hag nymphs attack from range bombarding their foes with an array of spells. Slain opponents are dragged to the hag nymph's lair and devoured at her leisure. Occasionally hag nymphs seek to capture rather than kill their opponents. Such opponents are taken prisoner and used as slaves by the hag nymphs, performing manual labor for them or being used as blood sacrifices in dark rituals.
