Homebrew Sahuagin Species Details
The Sahuagin are a fish-like aquatic race that dwell in oceans and seas. They are green skinned and have webbed hands and feet, gills, a shark-like mourth, and a finned tail. They are the natural enemies of Aquatic Elves, and fight long, bloody wars against them. Most Sahuagin worship Sekolah, the god of sharks and see sharks as holy creatures.

Martial prowess is highly valued in Sahuagin society.

Posted Apr 20, 2019It looks like you didn't add the modifiers to any of these traits

Posted Jul 11, 2019I think the Shark telepathy feature is a bit OP for a character

Posted May 21, 2020I like the simple design but:
1. Blood Frenzy is too strong. You should give Sahuagin huge debuff if you want to keep this trait as it is.
2. Shark Telepathy also seems strong in th early levels if it's without any limitations.
3. Sahuagin should have Darkvision because monster version has 120 feet of it.
That's my opinion.
