This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Spelling. Most traits need to be rewritten.

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Goblin has 2 skill profs., 35 move speed, and increased melee (I believe). Great White 1d8 natural weapon. 4 total ASI for most subraces, and 1 subrace has a replacement ASI.

Sharklin[edit]
| “ | "We have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. One does not simply love the ocean." This is a line of Sharklin poetry showing that they are intelligent and diverse creatures. However, they do have a dark side. Very war focused, they forge weapons on a daily basis, and when it happens that they don't produce enough? Severe punishment. Only the srongest survive, especially against the Merfolk raiding parties. | ” |
