| Description |
About one in two hundred sahuagin has four arms. Combat Sahuagin mutants are savage fighters like regular sahuagin. When swimming, a sahuagin rakes with its feet as it strikes with its four claws or uses extra weapons. Blood Frenzy: Once per day a sahuagin that takes damage in combat can fly into a frenzy the following round, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead. It gains +2 Constitution and +2 Strength, and suffers a -2 AC penalty. The sahuagin cannot end its frenzy voluntarily. Speak with Sharks (Ex): Sahuagin can communicate telepathically with sharks up to 150 feet away. The communication is limited to fairly simple concepts such as "food," "danger," and "enemy." Sahuagin can use Animal Empathy to befriend and train sharks. Underwater Sense (Ex): A sahuagin can locate creatures underwater within a 30-foot radius. This ability negates the effects of invisibility and poor visibility. It is less effective against creatures without central nervous systems, such as undead, oozes, and constructs; a sahuagin can locate such creatures only within a 15-foot radius. Sahuagin are not fooled by figments when underwater. Light Blindness (Ex): Abrupt exposure to bright light (such as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds sahuagin for 1 round. In addition to temporary blindness, they suffer a -1 morale penalty to all attack rolls, saves, and checks while operating in bright light. Amphibious (Ex): Sahuagin can survive out of the water for 1 hour per 2 points of Constitution. Freshwater Sensitivity (Ex): A sahuagin fully immersed in freshwater must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 15) or leave the water immediately. If the sahuagin fails and cannot escape, it suffers a -4 morale penalty to all attack rolls, saves, and checks. Even on a success, it must repeat the save attempt every 10 minutes it remains immersed. Skills: Sahuagin receive a +4 racial bonus to Hide, Listen, and Spot checks. *Underwater, the bonus improves to +8. They receive a +8 bonus to Wilderness Lore and Profession (hunt) checks within fifty miles of their homes. Sahuagin Characters A male sahuagin's favored class is ranger. Female sahuagin favor the cleric class. Sahuagin clerics can choose any two of the following domains: Evil, Law, Strength, and War. |
