Homebrew Astral Mermaid Species Details

Getting lost is hard, but being found is even harder. Astral mermaids are not born but made - absorbing the truest form of magic: the astral sea. The arcana that astral mermaids can absorb make them a powerful ally and a worse adversary.

Astral Mermaid Traits

The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's astral sea.

Siren Song

The stories of mermaids seducing sailors with their angelic songs are not completely unfounded. Once per short rest, you force a target of your choice to make a Charisma saving throw. If it fails, the creature becomes incapable of charming you and if any other creature tries to attack you during this period, the bewitched target will use whatever resources it has to defend you. The enchantment's effect ends at the end of the affected creature's next turn. The siren song effect does not prevent the target from attacking other players, only you. You also have an advantage on Persuasion and Deception tests.
