Special Traits
- Camouflage: Forest nymphs become nearly invisible when traveling through the forest. They are treated as invisible to anyone more than 30 feet away from them, unless they choose to be seen. This applies even in combat, but only while in their native terrain.
- Multiattack: Vine grapple and a thorned slam every round.
- Jagger Bush: As a bonus action, the forest nymph may thorn slam any creatures it has grappled.
- Sneak Attack: Forest nymphs can sneak attack as a rogue, as long as they are in the forest.
- Sylvan Allies: The forest of a forest nymph usually has other guardians that the nymphs had befriended. The forest nymph can communicate with these creatures -be they unicorns, tree warriors, or even dire animals, as a matter of course. A forest nymph’s scream can be heard for several miles within their own forest (carried from one tree to the next), and it usually brings guardians running. In game terms this means that a forest nymph can use the conjure animals or conjure woodland beings spell 3/long rest (up to 6th level spell slot).
- Telepathic Communication: The forest nymph can telepathically communicate with any creature that it can see, which can also see it.
