Ability Scores: Charisma +2, Any other +1
Creature Type: Humanoid
Size: Medium
Speed: 25 feet, Fly 30 feet
Alignment. Most sirens lean toward chaotic alignment, cherishing the freedom and independence that comes from joining a pirate crew.
Size. Sirens stand about 5 to 6 feet tall, but their bodies are slender and their bones partially hollow to facilitate their flight. Your size is Medium.
Siren's Spells. You know the cantrip Friends and can cast it without material components. At level 3, you know the spell Enthrall and can cast it without expending a spell slot. Once you do this, you must finish a long rest before you can cast it this way again. Charisma is your spellcasting ability modifier for it.
Siren's Song. A pleasant vibration emanates from you. For 10 minutes, you can double your Charisma modifier for all Charisma ability checks. Once you reach level 5, your Siren's song increases your Spell Save DC by your Charisma modifier. After you use your Siren's Song, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Talons. You are proficient with your unarmed strikes, which deal 1d4 slashing damage on a hit.
Flight. You have a flying speed of 30 feet. You can't use your flying speed while you wear medium or heavy armor. (If your campaign uses the variant rule for encumbrance, you can't use your flying speed if you are encumbered.)
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common (if it exists in your campaign) and Siren.
