Traits

Special Equipment. Baron Kepmak wields both a +2 trident and carries a sekolahian worshiping statuette.

Blood Frenzy. Baron Razorfang has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.

Brute. A melee weapon deals one extra die of its damage when Baron Kepmak hits with it (included in the attack).

Limited Amphibiousness. Baron Kepmak can breathe air and water, but he needs to be submerged at least once every 4 hours to avoid suffocating.

Reckless. At the start of his turn, Baron Kepmak can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls during that turn, but attack rolls against him have advantage until the start of his next turn. 

Shark Telepathy. Baron Kepmak can magically command any shark within 120 feet of him, using a limited telepathy.

Actions

Multiattack. Baron Kepmak makes two melee attacks: one with his bite and one with his claws or trident.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d4 + 4) piercing damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d4 + 4) slashing damage.

+2 Trident. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage or 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack.

Leadership (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, Baron Kepmak can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that he can see within 30 feet of him makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand Baron Kepmak. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect ends if Baron Kepmak is incapacitated.

Reactions

Parry. Baron Kepmak adds 3 to his AC against one melee attack that would hit him. To do so, Baron Kepmak must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

Description

Baron Kepmak (the spouse of Baroness Seklaz) is a young and ambitious sahuagin who has worked to increase his reputation in sahuagin society. He is clever but hasty, and prone to sulking when things do not go his way. The fortress and the forthcoming sahuagin invasion on the coastal area represent Kepmak's opportunity to make history.
