Nereid and Beguiling Aura

[Nikola Skigaj]

Hey

I have a question about Beguiling Aura.
My party was in a fight with Nereid and the GM said that we have to save every for Beguiling Aura when we looked at the Nereid.
For Beguiling Aura the rule is this:

wrote:

Any creature sexually attracted to women runs the risk of being beguiled by a nereid if it looks upon her beauty from a distance of 30 feet or less. If the creature fails a DC 25 Will save, it is immediately fascinated. A nereid may use her suggestion spell-like ability at will against creatures that are fascinated by her beguiling aura. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Did we have to save every time or not?

Thanks

Abilities like that will generally say "Once a creature has saved against this Nereid's [ability], it is not vulnerable to the [ability] of that Nereid for [time period]." In the absence of that, I guess, yeah, you have to save continually. This functions more like a gaze attack than an aura, since it's sight-based. I'd advise closing your eyes, or maybe donning your belt of gender reversal. ;-)

hmm . . . seems to me like that wouldn't change who you're sexually attracted to . . .

[Brogue The Rogue]

Whoa, double-take, there. O.O I wish there was more than one decent-looking rogueish avatar. xD

That would depend on how long you've been gender modified and how many hormones are floating through your system, possibly. ;-)

But I was really just being facetious.

I wonder if calm emotions, cast on the party, would suppress the Nereid's ability to charm them... Sexual attraction is as much of an emotion as rage.

What a coincidence, I sent up a Neried against my party just the other day. I came to the same conclusion as Brogue. It was a little humorous, as the only thing that saved them all form drowning was the fact that one of my party members was gay.
