The only reason I replaced my phone recently was due to the contract being so expensive it was far easier to just buy a prepaid device at the store.

I've been getting the itch to play D&D again. I want to start off with some old B series modules from the Classic TSR Boxed set era and see where they go.

I'm a mixed race latino born in the US and people like me are harassed and even arrested for no fucking reason.
They do worse to people who weren't born here.
PLEASE do not try to migrate into the states right now. There are better options.

There were six Thin Man movies all together. Beyond that, William Powell and Myrna Loy starred in a bunch more films together.

Seeing this company dissolved is the best solution.

I based this off of old D&D monsters. Considering the Xanth series was big around the 70's & 80's, I can see them being an influence on the people writing the game.
Piers Anthony became very problematic in the years since, and I do see D&D has kind of moved past a lot of this.

I think some of the influence on that is Piers Anthony's Xanth series. Those books presented Nymphs and Satyrs as sexually dimorphic, though compatible with humans.

Nymphs don't utilize offensive spells. Normally they will have a few healing spells prepared, plus a few plant or animal spells to assist with any tasks that might come before her. Nymphs almost always have Bless ready, using it not just to inspire warriors, but artists & poets to create great works

Likewise, nymphs might serve a roll in druid rituals. Being able to survive witnessing the unearthly beauty of a nymph might be a rite of passage for higher level druids. Since nymphs have the equivalent abilities of a 7th level druid, they have a wide variety of spells available to them.

Before the rise of the Olympian cult in Greece, nymphs were often seen as the local gods associated with a region. There might be some remote villages that still worship the local nymph, which might cause some friction with the primary religion of the region.

It would not be uncommon for an avatar of a lawful good god (especially a goddess) to have a retinue of nymphs accompanying them while upon the Material Plane. Similarly, the easiest way to seek an audience or favor with a god might be to seek out one of the nymphs that serve them.

Nymphs are well connected to the higher powers. Most of Greek mythology indicates the nymphs are the daughters of various minor gods or titans, making a nymph a borderline demi-goddess. They also served various roles for the gods. The Muses were nymphs who inspired artists.

A nymph bearing the child of such a union may find herself in a large amount of trouble. A married god's partner may not look too kindly on the infidelity. The offended partner is just as likely to call upon her cult to harass and attack the nymph for the affront as take matters personally.

It's common for the more promiscuous deities to seek out a nymph's company. Greek mythology is replete with talks of Zeus' amorous adventures with nymphs. Equally common are the tales of Hera's jealous retribution on the poor creatures.

Beyond the mere mortals, nymphs often get the attention of other beings. Satyrs will seek out their company, though according to The Ecology of the Nymph (Dragon Magazine #240) the satyr's pipes have no effect upon nymphs.

A nymph is quite free in her sexuality, but rather choosy in her partners. She is just as likely to favor a shepherd as a highborn noble. Wealth, status having no bearing upon her. A highly lawful society with strict rules of matrimony are present, a nymph can be seen with both fascination and fear.

One really unexpected place might be those "crystalline caverns", especially if they are deep in the Underdark. A drow nymph might be quite a surprise to those from the world above, and she might be less inclined to assist such strange people, thinking them monsters she should avoid.

The traditional location for a nymph is woodland realms, but the MM mentions nymphs living in all environments including "glacier palaces, ocean grottoes, and crystalline caverns" Players might be quite surprised to find some half naked girl roaming about the frozen north.

Similarly, a nymph throwing herself at an attractive male might be able to hold her power in check if she willingly disrobes before her would be suitor.
It's still likely you need 18 Charisma just to get to First Base with her.

Nymphs can control their blinding beauty The module "Terrible Trouble at Tragidore" features nymphs that can control their blinding abilities as long as they have not been surprised. It takes a nymph one round to suppress her ability and allow PCs to see her without a saving throw.

If her aggressors continue to harass her, she has her 7th level cleric abilities to draw upon. As a last resort, she might strip off her clothes to use her unearthly beauty against them. The success of that is uncertain & becoming vulnerable before her enemies is not something a nymph would relish.
