	Swanmays made their last appearance in D&D to date in the pages of [[Book of Exalted Deeds]], where they finally found their true place as a [[~~prestige class~~]]. In this form, they required the would-be swanmay to be female, have a Good alignment, have the Wild Empathy class feature, be able to cast Speak With Animals, have 8 ranks in Knowledge (Nature) and Survival, the ability to speak Sylvan, and the feats Sacred Vow & Vow of Purity. It mostly focuses on bolstering their ranger/druid abilities, with new spells per day at every level bar the first, the ability to shapeshift into a swan, spell resistance, wild empathy, favored enemy, spell-like abilities to Charm Person, Speak With Animals, Speak With Plants, and Charm Monster, and finally, at the 10th level, changing their racial type to Fey and granting Damage Reduction 10/Cold Iron.

	Being that all kinds of swanmays are literally magical women with shapeshifting powers, it's accurate to consider them to be "technical [[monstergirls]]", although most monstergirl fans would probably mock you for it on the basis that they don't even look as 'inhuman' as [[elves]], [[gnome]]s, [[dwarves]] or [[halfling]]s do.

	The Black Swanmay is a more militant and goodly-aligned version of the common "White" Swanmay, restricted to the [[cleric]], [[paladin]] and [[crusader]] classes (Crusaders having been introduced in Faiths & Avatars). Black swanmays have the same special abilities and limitations as ordinary swanmays, but differ in the minutia. For example, classes (Paladin 14, Cleric 12 or Crusader 12), ability score adjustments (+1 Charisma, -1 Constitution) and ability score minimums (10 Str, 9 Dex & Con, and 12 Int/Wis/Cha for Clerics & Crusaders, 12 Str/Con/Int, 10 Dex, 13 Wis and 17 Cha for Paladins) and ability score maximums (18s in everything bar Con and Cha, which are 17 and 19 respectively). They're restricted to the Lawful Good alignment, and must therefore atone like Paladins if they ever commit evil or chaotic acts, their natural armor class is 10 for human form and 6 for swan form, and their swan form has a fly speed of 21 (compared to the white swanmay's fly 19).

	Inspired by the swan maidens of various real-world folklores, '''swanmays''' are a race/order of holy-aligned nature-protecting female humanoids from [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]. They derive their name specifically from similar beings who appeared in Poul Anderson's Three Hearts and Three Lions (1961), who are stated to wear a magical feathered tunic that melds into her flesh, which gives her the appearance of a "Swan-Girl" instead of a human.
