Regional Effects

Transformed by the creature's celestial presence, the domain of a unicorn might include any of the following magical effects.

• Open flames of a nonmagical nature are extinguished in the unicorn's domain. Torches and campfires refuse to burn, but closed lanterns are unaffected.
• Creatures native to the unicorn's domain have an easier time hiding; they have advantage on all Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide.
• When a good-aligned creature casts a spell or uses a magical effect that causes another good-aligned creature to regain hit points, the target regains the maximum number of hit points possible for the spell or effect.
• Curses affecting any good-aligned creatures are suppressed.

If the unicorn dies, these effects end immediately.

Unicorns are majestic horses of pure white, and yellow / golden hair. They are unique, in that they are blessed by noble deities, usually those tied with nature. What makes them more than special is the golden twisted horn that grows out of their heads. They are solitary creatures that many legends have sprung up about. According to superstition, only pure virgin girls & women can approach, touch and/or ride a unicorn. Thant and only the most bravest noble fighter can use one as a mount. Many nobles view it as a great honour to hunt & kill one, as some are misguided that the unicorn is a vicious killer. The horn is magical, and many such spellcasters, occultists and the like hunt them down to take the horn to use in various means. The touch of one supposedly cures all disease, injury and illness. The seekers of the horn usually employ others to get it, as many Elves and other Fey will actively kill anyone who harms a unicorn.

Suggested Environments
