Re: Help me create some fantasy nymph templates!
That works too! Though I like the idea of rolling per adventure,like a duty. Maybe combine both?
Also, I realized the description of seasonal doesn't fit plant nymphs very well in summer. The thing about getting tempestuous would fit better a wind nymph (sylph?) instead, I guess. Plants are pretty neutral during summer, I think so maybe leave her without any mental disadvantage then, and reduce the value (Well, increase, really) to -15? |

So if she has Fickle Heart and Seasonal, Chronic Depression affects winter so that's a -10% limitation on Fickle Heart. If she also doesn't care about doing anything in the spring, or summer except basking in the glow of the sun it's a -20% limitation on Fickle Heart (You could consider that Low Empathy). If she has the plant passivity during two seasons, plus the Chronic Depression in winter then Fickle Heart is active 25% of the time. It could be written up thusly: one season of growing: Fickle Heart (Not during Low Empathy or Chronic Depression -20%) Low Empathy (one season -30%) Chronic Depression (one season -30%) two seasons of growing Fickle Heart (Not during Low Empathy or Chronic Depression -30%) Low Empathy (Half the year, -20%) Chronic Depression (one season -30%) My recommendation on Fickle Heart is 10 points unless you consider Clingy OPH to be -10 alone.

Re: Help me create some fantasy nymph templates!
Actually, I thought of fickle heart as a disadvantage for muses, while the seasonal thing would be for tree nymphs (dryads?). The idea behind fickle heart is that a muse will frequently feel the need to inspire someone in the game to something (arts, scientific pursuits, philosophy, etc). The dryad on the other hand, I thought it would be cool if she changed just like trees do during seasons.
Of course, the way you put it works pretty nice, too! |

You might ask yourself Do the count as Fae in your world? If so they bound not to say a literal falsehood (you can use misleading truths though) and Have issues with Iron.
As most nymphs are not really season they probable wild fae rather belonging to one of the two courts. |

Re: Help me create some fantasy nymph templates!
Thanks, and you can always nix either Chronic Depression or Low Empathy depending on which aren't present. This increases the disadvantage from your Fickle Heart.

Re: Help me create some fantasy nymph templates!
Try Gurps Faerie.
Disad: Chummy Quirk: Fond of Children, SoD: Artimis Skill: Sex Appeal For a darker version, it can be Fond of ABDUCTING Children For Pets. Either will do. Perhaps even both.
