Homebrew Flotsaman Species Details

Widely feared in myth and terrifying in person, Flotsaman have gained a dark reputation from their lives on the open sea, and in many Flotsaman's cases this reputation is deserved wholly. Their ceaseless ambition as well as their usually unquenchable greed are what drive them through life.

Flotsaman, due to being a race created by monsters of the deep (sea, or space) rather than born, are very varied in appearance. They are an uncommon sight outside of their seldom-visited undersea towns. However, a Flotsaman's ambitious heart (if they have a heart at all) could well drive them to the outer corners of the universe.

Flotsaman Type

Starting at Level 5, your Flotsaman nature begins to make itself very apparent. No two Flotsaman are alike; most have strange errations on their bodies, such as barnacles, tentacles for arms, unusually hard and exposed skulls or teeth where there shouldn't be teeth. This is all due to the shady and arcane creation of a Flotsaman by the deep sea.
