Nyala is a witch I'm playing in a Pathfinder game (currently on hiatus after losing three players). She's an aasimar (a celestial planetouched), descended from a cervidal agathion (which is fancy game-speak for "deer-person from Heaven"). I was inspired to create her while on safari in Zambia, Africa. I was mesmerized by the graceful beauty and unusual coloration of the male nyala, a type of antelope native to southern Africa. Her familiar is a goat named "Goat." Goat has become a favorite of my fellow players thanks to the farm-animal sound-effect generator on my iPhone. Goat gets to chime is occasionally, usually at the most inopportune moments.

Thanks! I love the planetouched races and was disappointed to find how "plain" Paizo initially made them. The new Blood of Angels book breathes a lot more life into them and I'm glad to see it.

Yeah, Pathfinder fixed problems with 3.5 that I didn't realize were problems.

Very true. I haven't wanted to play a prestige class since I made the switch. The base classes are just too darned cool.

She looks absolutely stunning! I love all the details on her and the race is quite interesting. Is it from "the Advanced race guide"?

Thanks. Nyala is an aasimar, the celestial version of a tiefling. They're from the Bestiary and the 3.5 Monster Manual and Planescape before that. I took liberties with her appearance, giving her bestial traits of an agathion. The new BLOOD OF ANGELS book would have allowed me to do it legitimately, but she predates that release.
