Stunning GlanceStunning Glance (11): The nymph can attempt to stun an enemy by locking eyes with him. Roll a Quick Contest between of Will between the nymph and her target, penalized by the range between them. Mind Shield adds to resistance against this ability. If the nymph wins, the target suffers mental stun. On subsequent turns, he can recover normally by making an unpenalized IQ roll.11The nymph can attempt to stun an enemy by locking eyes with him.

Blinding BeautyThe nymph can activate this ability at will as a Concentrate maneuver. When she does so, anyone who sees her must roll Fright Check, using the Awe variant table (GURPS Powers, p. 85). In addition, every victim within 8 yards who is looking directly at the nymph, must make a roll against HT or become permanently blind. This blindness is magical – it can be dispelled normally. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by the awe aspect of this ability for one hour. If a victim succeeds at his Will roll to resist, he will be unaffected by the blinding aspect of this ability for one hour.8 yards

  • GCS ancestry draft: gcs/nymph.gct
  • Source template total: 214 points.
  • Library-rebuilt template total: 214 points.
  • CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
  • Issue #5: 1 special ability construction(s) restored (Blinding Beauty) and 1 annotated with the source's stated cost. 2 save-or-disable construction(s) are scored through the affliction term at the source's stated point cost, or at Binding ST where the source builds the ability as a Binding.
  • CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 21, PR 0, CER 21, threat tier minor.
  • Conversion baseline reported OR 4, PR 0, CER 4 (tier minor). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
  • Encounter metadata derived (gregarious): average number appearing 6, wandering weight 4. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
  • Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
  • Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b4-special-mechanics); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
  • Special-mechanics record. Mechanics the CER path cannot price are named per record in review/reports/cer-audit.md rather than folded into the number, and encounter counts are capped where a save-or-disable attack is present.
