SPECIAL ABILITIES
Call of the Waves (Ex)
Y’hua-lneth has chosen a deity of piracy, strife, and sea monsters as her deity. If she ever changes her deity, she loses this archetype and becomes a normal druid.
Bonus Languages
Y’hua-lneth’s bonus language options include Aquan instead of Sylvan.
Dauntless Swimmer (Ex)
Y’hua-lneth can always take 10 on Swim checks, even if she is rushed or threatened.
Final Change
As a deep one hybrid, Y’hua-lneth ages at the same rate as a half-orc. A mere 1d12 months after she reaches venerable age (at 60 years old), she will die a painful, agonizing death, only to have her body transform into that of a mature deep one. This transformation functions as the reincarnate spell, with the newly formed deep one gaining the following modifications to its physical ability scores: +6 Strength, –2 Dexterity, and +6 Constitution
Hold Breath (Ex)
Y’hua-lneth can inherently hold her breath for a number of minutes equal to her Constitution score before she risks drowning.
Resist the Waves’ Lure (Ex)
Y’hua-lneth gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like and supernatural abilities of creatures with the aquatic subtype.
Sea Longing
Every 24 hours Y’hua-lneth spends in an area more than 10 miles from the sea, she must succeed at a DC 20 Will save or take 1 point of Wisdom drain
Take to the Water
Due to her class abilities, Y’hua-lneth can hold her breath 10 times longer than a human can and gains a +2 bonus on Initiative checks and Reflex saving throws while swimming
Wild Shape (Su)
Y’hua-lneth’s options for wild shape are limited to animals with the aquatic or water subtype or that have the amphibious special quality.
Y’hua-lneth can alternatively expend a daily use of wild shape to grow tentacles out of her body while otherwise retaining her own form. This effect lasts for 70 minutes per level, or until she changes back.
Y’hua-lneth grows three tentacles while in this form. The tentacles have a reach of 5 feet, and she can use them as secondary natural attacks that deal 1d4 points of damage. She also gains a racial bonus on Climb, Swim, and dirty trick combat maneuver checks equal to the number of tentacles grown.
As a move action, she can retract or regrow any number of the additional tentacles beyond the first two, redistributing the mass of any retracted tentacles. For every 2 retracted tentacles, she can increase the reach of the remaining tentacles by 5 feet (to a maximum of 15 feet), or increase the damage dealt by her tentacles as if she were one size category larger.
While in this form, Y’hua-lneth can expel a 10-foot-radius cloud of ink once per minute as a standard action.
This cloud provides total concealment in water and persists for 7 rounds. The ink has no effect out of water.
ABOUT
Born to a human mother in small coastline town near a submerged Deep One city, Y’hua-lneth was raised by cultists of one of the old Deep Gods, after her mother died when she was a year old, having never fully recovered from the rigors of her birth. Since the Godsdeath wave her deep one powers have emerged and begun to call her to the ocean. She has spent the last few months captaining fishing boats that she pressed into her service with threats of tentacled violence, pressing ever deeper into the lake to satisfy her craving for connection.
