Fearsome Bite: Your bite attacks deal 1d8 piercing damage, and you gain proficiency with your bite as a weapon.
Blood Frenzy: You can tap into your primal instincts to unleash a fierce frenzy. Once per short or long rest, if you see a creature at or below half health within 60 feet, you may enter a frenzy as a bonus action. This frenzy lasts for 1 minute. While in this state, you gain the following benefits:
- You have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that is not at full health. However, this frenzy comes with a risk due to your overwhelming bloodlust:
- At the start of each of your turns during the frenzy, you must make a Wisdom saving throw. The DC for this saving throw is 10 + the number of injured creatures (both allies and foes) visible to you. If you fail this saving throw, you must use your movement and actions to attack the nearest injured creature on that turn
Description: Looming in the darker depths of the Coral Coast, the Selachians are the formidable enforcers of the Aquarian world. With their shark-like features, including sleek, powerful bodies and sharp, predatory gazes, they command both awe and apprehension among their Aquarian kin. The Selachians are renowned for their physical prowess and martial skills, making them natural guards, high-ranking military officers, and sought-after mercenaries.
Despite their fearsome reputation, Selachians are often misunderstood by other Aquarians. Perceived as fierce and volatile, they tend to lead more solitary lives or limit their social interactions, which only adds to their mystique. However, within their own circles, Selachians form tight-knit clans that are intensely loyal and protective of one another. These clans are bastions of strength and camaraderie, where members are trained from a young age in the arts of combat and strategy.
Some Selachians choose to break from these stereotypes, venturing into the broader Aquarian society to lead more social lives. These individuals often take on roles that challenge the typical perceptions of their kind, showcasing their capabilities in diplomacy, leadership, and other areas that require more than just martial prowess.
Their reputation as warriors and protectors is a source of pride but also a point of contention within Aquarian politics, where their loyalty and combat skills are highly valued, yet their aggressive nature can be a cause for concern. As Aquarians continue to rebuild in the aftermath of the Age of Darkness, the role of the Selachians becomes ever more critical, bridging the gap between defence and diplomacy in a world still fraught with threats both old and new.
