| Characters with ranks in [[Knowledge (nature)]] can learn more about rusalkas. A character who recognizes a rusalka’s nature can make a [[bardic knowledge]] check to learn more. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.
| |
| | |
| Knowledge (nature)
| |
| DC 11: The lovely, pale damsel bathing herself in this icy [[lake]] is a rusalka. Some folk believe rusalkas are the ghosts of drowned maidens, but in fact they are [[spirit|spirits]] of [[nature]]. This result reveals all [[fey]] traits.
| |
| | |
| DC 16: Rusalkas are lonely spirits who use their eerie [[song|songs]] to [[beguile]] mortals into joining them beneath the water. Rusalkas dislike physical violence, but like many nature spirits, they are capable of both kindness and [[cruelty]]. Rusalkas’ longing for companionship makes interacting with even the most benevolent of their kind a risky proposition for [[mortal|mortals]] who catch their eye. Rusalkas speak [[Aquan]], [[Sylvan]], and a local language.
| |
| | |
| DC 21: A rusalka is mystically bound to the body of [[water]] in which she resides, much as a [[dryad]] is bound to her [[tree]]. A rusalka drowns if she ventures farther than 100 paces from her body of water.
| |
| | |
| DC 26: Rusalkas can grant mortals the ability to breathe underwater with the gift of a kiss. They may use this ability to sustain their enamored mortals, or they can refuse the gift to drown foes or victims. Some [[sage|sages]] believe rusalkas are closely related to the enchanting spirits known as [[glaistig|glaistigs]].
| |
| | |
| Bardic Knowledge
| |
| DC 16: A rusalka’s beguiling song is a sonic effect which can be countered with bardic music.
