An extremely attractive man with slight eleven characteristics can be seen just by the edge of the forest. His warm, confident singing is very alluring, and you soon find yourself walking closer to get a better look.
Gancanaghs are creatures often cursed by father and spouse alike, and in some cases are thought of as a form of incubus. Gancanaghs are not demons, however, instead being a form of faerie. They are well known by other Fey for their devilish charm and extremely selfish behavior. Gancanaghs resemble extremely attractive humanoid males with vaguely elf-like features. In many cases, they are confused as half-elves. Most have extremely pale skin and dark hair, though occasionally one with red hair is born. These fey are often seen carrying a small clay pipe, but as they do not smoke this item is just decorative in nature.
Gancanaghs live a very care-free and hedonistic lifestyle. These fey enjoy drinking, partying, and sex above all else, though they leave many dead lovers in their wake A gancanagh's flesh is infused with an extremely addicting toxin, one that leaves the gancanagh's unwitting victim with an extreme need for it if they are to survive. Unfortunately for them, a gancanagh cares very little about what happens to their partners after they finish their "activities," and rarely stay in the same place for more than a week or two. The men and women who have become addicted die painfully, their bodies shriveling as they pine for their lover. Particularly cruel gancanaghs are known to get multiple people in the same area addicted, and then force them to fight for his entertainment to decide which one he chooses as his partner.
Gancanaghs are (thankfully) very rare faeries, usually turning up amidst community-wide celebrations and then disappearing afterwards. A gancanagh weighs the same as a human of the same height would, and speaks both Common and Sylvan.
Combat
Gancanaghs rarely enter combat, preferring to use allies to actually fight for them. If cornered, they attempt to use their magical abilities to aid them in their escape.
Empowering Song (Su): Three times a day, as a standard action, a gancanagh can sing to gain +4 enhancement bonus to its Charisma-based skills , and any enchantment spells or spell-like abilities it performs are treated as having a caster level two levels higher than it actually is. This bonus last 1d4 rounds. All allies within 30 feet of the gancanagh gain a +2 enhancement bonus to their skill checks for the same duration. All foes within 30 of the gancanagh instead take a -1 penalty to all Will saves for the duration. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same gancanagh's song for 24 hours. The save is Charisma-based.
[B]Spell-like Abilities: 3/day- Charm Person. 1/day- Hideous Laughter, Shillelagh, Hypnotism. Caster Level 4th.
Toxic Touch (Su): For this ability to take affect, another creature must be exposed to a gancanagh's bare skin for a prolonged period of time. Usually, this occurs through a kiss or another act of passion, but merely grappling a gancanagh for two consecutive rounds is enough for this as well. The other creature must make a Fortitude save (DC 17), or become permanently addicted to the gancanagh's touch. Those who become addicted must be touched by the gancanagh at least once per day, or otherwise they suffer 1 point of Constitution drain per day as their body thirsts for the toxin is infused in the gancanagh's skin. Those exposed to the gancanagh's touch have their Constitution score restored, but the drainage resumes the following day. A remove curse spell is the only way to remove the addiction, though it does not restore any points of Constitution already lost. This ability doesn't affect Constructs, Fey, or Undead.
Unearthly Grace (Su): A gancanagh adds its Deflection modifier to its Armor Class as a deflection bonus. This is already included in the gancanagh's statblock.
