Nyrissa can Focus Beauty on a given creature only once per turn.

 

Ability

Inspiration

(emotion, enchantment, mental, primal) Nyrissa can inspire an intelligent, willing creature by scratching that creature with a thorn from her body. This reduces that creature's Hit Points by 1 permanently, but grants the creature several abilities: darkvision, the ability to see invisible creatures, and an ability boost to an ability of Nyrissa's choice. A bard granted this inspiration gains a +2 status bonus to Performance when determining the effect of compositions. Only one creature at a time can benefit from this inspiration. For the bulk of this Adventure Path, King Irovetti carries this inspiration, but once he is slain or defeated, who Nyrissa grants the bonus to instead (if anyone) is left to the GM to determine.
