Posted Mar 2, 2019Oh I like these, I like these a lot! Considering they're transformed Merfolk, and Merfolk are humanoids, is it possible they'll have spellcasters and other classes?

Posted Aug 1, 2019I know that they at least have druids. Not positive about other casters, but it's likely!

Posted Feb 5, 2020Their intelligence is pretty low so it's unlikely. Their crazed hunger probably prevents most of them from forming a clear mine to cast spells.

Posted Jun 12, 2020GalacticSamurai Maybe have one of their "leaders" have higher intel ? Unless they were intended to be "sea orcs" in which case druid / warlock leaders would probably make more sense...

Posted Oct 22, 2020They have crazed hunger? Are you sure you're not thinking of gnolls?
Anyway, having demonic influence, it'd make sense for them to at least have warlock or dark cleric equivalents. Or even sorcerers, for similar reasons.

Posted Sep 4, 2022Set one or two of these alongside a band of Sahuagin. Have them use their harpoons to drag a party member into the water and let the feast begin
