Homebrew Deep Dweller Gorgon Species Details
Gorgons are a sub-race of Nymph's said to dwell in caves or the Underdark near body's of water. Gorgons like Nymphs are nature’s embodiment of physical beauty, and they defend the sacred places of the wild. However the strange magic's of the Underdark have altered these elusive creatures in many ways. Firstly they have a green or gray cast to there skin. Then of course there are the snakes. The snake-haired creatures are so unbearably lovely that even a glimpse of one can blind an onlooker. The beauty of a gorgon is so difficult for the mind to comprehend that the brain of an onlooker often simply stops processing visual stimuli to avoid sensory overload. Gorgons unlike nymphs are not bound to places of power, rather they roam the wilds for many reasons.
Like nature, she embodies both great beauty and fearsome danger.
Innate Spellcasting. The gorgons spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). The gorgons can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: detect magic, druidcraft, shillelagh
1/day: dimension door, Flesh to Stone
Unearthly Grace. While the gorgon is wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, her AC includes her Charisma modifier. Additionally, when the nymph makes a Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, or Wisdom saving throw, she can make a Charisma saving throw instead.
