About Nidhi AashiryaThis character was created for "GM Euan's Mummy's Mask" (Jan 10, 2017) "Playing music isn't any different from making a tapestry - you just need to know where to pull the strings." Laughs. - Nidhi Aashirya I imagine Nidhi's voice would sound like Laura Brehm. Young, sweet, and breathy. (1) | (2) | (3) Appearance:
Nidhi’s hair is the color of dark chocolate, her eyes resemble dark emeralds, and she has sun-kissed skin. She stands at about 5’6” with a slender build but wide hips and powerful thighs from her daily walks through Midwife. Although normally hidden by her hood, Nidhi’s hair is kept in a loose French braid that reaches down to her waist. Nidhi’s grandmother Jharna insists that Nihdi wear white to help reflect the sun’s heat but Nidhi likes to garnish her robe with a blue silk scarf tied around her waist. She wears brown traveling boots that sometimes peek out from under her robe. Local Background and Rumors:
A woman with dark hair and honey-colored skin passes by you in Midwife. She is carrying what appears to be fine linen dyed in various colors. She smells like pomegranates which you assume is from staining the garments she’s holding. An elderly woman exits a shop with a thimble and needle carved on the hanging sign to beckon her inside.
You recognize the elderly woman as Jharna Aashirya, the owner of a small tailoring shop. The shop is two-stories high with two bedrooms on the second level. Jharna Aashirya shares a bedroom with her granddaughter, Nidhi, and rents out the other bedroom for extra money. The first level of the shop is cramped with fabrics and tailoring supplies but the place appears clean and smells like dye from various plants. There is a front window with a table showcasing differently stitched hoods and sleeves. Locals know Jharna Aashirya gets most of her supplies from the Outer Farms. Some farmers trade Jharna crops in exchange for special garments. It’s rumored by the locals that Jharna’s stiches are blessed by Pharasma. Jharna’s clothing rarely becomes faded which is helpful to farmers residing in the Outer Farms. The knees and bottoms of the farmers’ pants seem to fray slower than even the noble’s clothing. One farmer was quoted to have said the pants “seemed to heal themselves overnight” after a long day in the crop fields. Jharna's shop is a happy place where passersby can hear Jharna and her granddaughter singing as they work with the fabrics. The songs the women sing seem to improve their customer's health and mysteriously heal small injuries like paper cuts or a stubbed toe. If you listen closely, the lyrics tell tales of Wati heroes and the people that once lived in Necropolis before the plague. In the evenings, a Mandolin can be heard from the second-level while the two women sing. Additional Background Information:
Nidhi Aashirya admires her grandmother and has been studying under her for 10 years since her father’s disappearance. Nidhi’s parents married young and her mother died in childbirth and Nihdi’s father took to careless habits. Nidhi’s father lost his land in the Outer Farms to gambling and was eventually found face-down in the water of Bargetown, dead. The debt collectors came after Nidhi Aashirya and her grandmother, forcing them to sell just about everything they owned except the shop. Nidhi gained a lot of her Charisma from watching her father and working in her grandmother's shop. The Aashirya family have been in Wati for generations and have seen the ups and downs of society. With just the two of them trying to survive, Nidhi hears about Orirson and immediately wants to go. Discovering relics would bring family honor and popularity to her grandmother’s tailoring shop. Since Nidhi and her family have lived in Wati for generations, she feels somewhat entitled to the relics. The relics deserve to stay in Wati and not be smuggled out by some outsider. She is eager to learn the stories behind the relics and sing many songs about her valiant journey to retrieve them. Jharna gave her granddaughter Nidhi what gold she could spare and stitched Nidhi a simple, yet elegant robe for her adventure. Jharna took her time to fashion the perfect robe for the granddaughter, adding a few pockets to the inside and 2 outside. Jharna is Nidhi's only living relative left and Nidhi treasures her like the sun itself. After hanging around Nidhi for a while, you may notice that Nidhi is a bit naive. She's never left Wati so her understanding of the world is rather limited. She may have several false truths in her bardic songs and poems and some of her superstitions are questionable.

To be affected, an enemy must be within 30 feet and able to see and hear the bard's performance. The effect persists for as long as the enemy is within 30 feet and the bard continues his performance. This performance cannot cause a creature to become frightened or panicked, even if the targets are already shaken from another effect. Dirge of doom is a mind-affecting fear effect, and it relies on audible and visual components. + Inspire Greatness: A bard of 9th level or higher can use his performance to inspire greatness in himself or a single willing ally within 30 feet, granting extra fighting capability.

To inspire greatness, all of the targets must be able to see and hear the bard. A creature inspired with greatness gains 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), the commensurate number of temporary hit points (apply the target's Constitution modifier, if any, to these bonus Hit Dice), a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves. The bonus Hit Dice count as regular Hit Dice for determining the effect of spells that are Hit Dice dependent. Inspire greatness is a mind-affecting ability and it relies on audible and visual components. + Soothing Performance: A bard of 12th level or higher can use his performance to create an effect equivalent to a mass cure serious wounds, using the bard's level as the caster level. In addition, this performance removes the fatigued, sickened, and shaken conditions from all those affected. Using this ability requires 4 rounds of continuous performance, and the targets must be able to see and hear the bard throughout the performance. Soothing performance affects all targets that remain within 30 feet throughout the performance. Soothing performance relies on audible and visual components. + Frightening Tune: A bard of 14th level or higher can use his performance to cause fear in his enemies. To be affected, an enemy must be able to hear the bard perform and be within 30 feet. Each enemy within range receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard's level + the bard's Cha modifier) to negate the effect. If the save succeeds, the creature is immune to this ability for 24 hours. If the save fails, the target becomes frightened and flees for as long as the target can hear the bard's performance. Frightening tune relies on audible components. Cantrips
