Ability

Cavern Empathy

The lampad queen can use Diplomacy to Make an Impression on and make very simple Requests of subterranean animals, plants, and fungi, as well as stones.

 

Ability

Change Shape

(polymorph, primal, transmutation) Lampad queens can transform between their original form, which looks much like a typical nymph of their kind, and any Small or Medium humanoid form, typically choosing a version of their natural form that more closely resembles a humanoid.

 

Ability

Despairing Weep

Frequency: once per round

Effect: The lampad queen begins a heart-wrenching fit of weeping, inspiring sympathetic sobbing in nearby creatures. Each non-lampad creature within 120 feet who hears the lampad's weeping must succeed at a DC 36 Will save with the effects of crushing despair.

 

Ability

Focus Beauty

(emotion, enchantment, incapacitation, mental, primal, visual) The lampad queen focuses their beauty upon a target within their aura. The creature must attempt a Will save. On a failure, it is affected as if by the queen's beauty aura; if it was already affected by the aura, the conflicting emotions from the lampad queen's beauty intensify, causing the target to no longer get a flat check to end the confusion when it takes damage. The lampad queen can use a single action, which has the concentrate trait, to focus the emotions of a confused creature toward a particular emotion, causing it to spend its next turn sobbing uncontrollably, fawning over the lampad queen, or otherwise performing no actions beyond experiencing its emotions. Regardless of the save, the target is temporarily immune to Focus Beauty until the start of the lampad queen's next turn.

 

Ability

Inspiration

(emotion, enchantment, mental, primal) for maestro muse, the status bonus to Performance checks increases to +2 for the purpose of determining the effects of compositions; for polymath muse, the bard gains a +4 status bonus to untrained skill checks; and for all other muses, the Will save bonus increases to +2 against fey.

 

Ability

Nymph's Beauty

(aura, emotion, enchantment, incapacitation, mental, primal, visual) 30 feet. Creatures that start their turn in the aura must succeed at a DC 33 Will save or be confused by the lampad queen's unearthly beauty for 1 minute. While confused by this effect, the creature's confused actions never include harming the lampad queen.

Ability

Tied to the Land

A lampad queen is intrinsically tied to a specific underground region, usually a cave system. As long as the queen is healthy, the environment is exceptionally resilient, allowing the lampad queen to automatically attempt to counteract spells and rituals that would harm the environment, such as blight, with a +30 counteract modifier and a counteract level of 8. When the lampad queen becomes physically or psychologically unhealthy, however, their warded region eventually becomes twisted or unhealthy as well. In that case, restoring the lampad queen swiftly heals the entire region.
