Well-adapted to seeing in the darkest depths of the sea, you have exceptional vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern colour in darkness, only shades of grey.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

.In your true form, you wear the body of the person you once were as a sort of mask, indistinguishable from your original self. As an action, you can take an aquatic form, changing your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes each time you take this form, including your coloration, hair length, and sex, though your form must include some aquatic features such as gills, fins, or tentacles. You can also adjust your height and weight, but not so much that your size changes. You can make yourself appear as a member of another aquatic race, such as a sea elf or a sahuagin, though none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the appearance of a creature you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait.

While in your aquatic form, you have a swimming speed of 40 feet, and you can breathe air and water.

You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die.

You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, and Persuasion.

You can speak, read, and write Common and two other languages of your choice.
