Captain Collateral Damage's Ruins of Azlant (Inactive)

Game Master Captain collateral damage

Going off Blood of the Sea and Skull and Shackles: Raiders of the Fever Sea would it be okay to submit a Malenti, the Sahuagin mutants that look like Sea Elves? Their stats would like this:

+2 Strength, +2 Wisdom, –2 Charisma: While sahuagin are powerful and cunning, they are repulsive creatures.

Monstrous Humanoid: Sahuagin are monstrous humanoids with the aquatic subtype.
Medium: Sahuagin are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Blindsense: Sahuagin have blindsense with a range of 30 feet.
Darkvision: Sahuagin have darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
Normal Speed: Sahuagin have a base speed of 30 feet.
Fast Swimmer (5 RP): Sahuagin have a swim speed of 60 feet.
Blood Frenzy: Once per day, whenever a sahuagin takes damage, it can flyy into a frenzy for 1 minute; gaining a +2 racial bonus to Constitution and Strength but a –2 penalty to AC.
Speak with Sharks (1 RP): Sahuagin can communicate telepathically with sharks to a distance of 100 feet. This communication is limited to simple concepts, such as “attack,” “come,” and “defend.”
Languages: Sahuagin begin play speaking Aquan and Common. Sahuagin with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Aboleth, Abyssal, Aklo, Draconic, Giant, Goblin, and Infernal.

I can see the Blindsense and 60ft swim speed being a deal breaker though, so I'd be okay if they were removed/weakened. If not I'd probably submit a Human or a Changeling or a Sharkkin Skinwalker.

Bhookaaj is a former crown-owned undine dock slave from Chelish Khari. He was tasked with swimming under ships hulls and checking for any signs of smuggling. Being a Chelish slave, his only pay was marginal food rations avoiding the lash for a job well done. He was unable to just swim to sea because of his heavy iron slave collar.

Some months ago, Bhookaaj did notice some very well concealed watertight containers under the hull of the Bracing Breeze from Magnimar. A sure sign of smuggling. And the best job of concealment that Bhookaaj had yet seen.

Luck was with him that day. He had to report the rum-soaked Drengo, the dimwitted nephew of Lord-Mayor Marsiol Giovenci. He had no trouble lying to Drengo about the Bracing Breeze breaking no Chelish laws.

Later that night, Bhookaaj made use of a secret stash of discarded items, including clothing and lock picks tossed overboard in the port. He removed his slave collar and dressed himself up as a Varisian sailor and snuck out of his quarters. He also fluffed up his bed so to a casual and bored guard, he would appear to be where he belonged.

He easily mingled with the night crowds at the docks. Mostly because he had changed his skin to human shades. An ability he always kept close to his chest and that none of his minders were aware of.

Sure that nobody was watching, Bhookaaj then quietly slipped into the water and swum under the Bracing Breeze's hull and tied himself securely to the water tight containers he found earlier. And then just slept and waited.

Unaware that they had an undine attached to their hull like an oversized barnacle, the crew of the Bracing Breeze set sail first thing in the morning. They were several hours out to sea when the alarm went out about an escaped undine slave in Khari's port district.

It was then easy for Bhookaaj to untie himself and clamber up the ships rudder. The astonished crew soon took him to Gwaches, their captain. Gwaches and his officers were impressed with the audacity and skills of Bhookaaj. They readily enlisted him.

Gwaches spent several months with the Bracing Breeze. He honed his scouting skills, especially below the waves. He proved especially useful at finding navigable lanes through shallows and straights. He was able to help them perfect the camouflage of their smuggled goods.

Recently, the Bracing Breeze landed in Almas, where Gwaches has good standing. Bhookaaj came to hear of the colony of Talmandor’s Bounty, and asked Gwaches if he might take his leave to join the expedition there. While sorry to see Bhookaaj go, Gwaches already owed the undine several times over for his services and gave his blessings for Bhookaaj to go aboard the Peregrine.

Bhookaaj, his confidence boosted while serving under Gwaches, is now hoping he can now do something both exciting and meaningful.

Appearance Barely 5 feet tall, with short light-brown hair, Hailey usually has a pair of reading spectacles hanging near the end of her pert little nose. Her eyes are usually bright, intelligent-looking, and inquisitive. Her body frame is on the light side of normal, though there isn’t a lot of muscle on it.

Personality Hailey’s a wide-eyed youth still basking in the wonders of the world. She also comes off as a bit of a know-it-all because, well—she thinks she knows it all. She can be a bit ditzy at times and fearless at others. She has a tendency to talk to herself (the smartest person present, in her own mind).

Backstory Hailey’s the human daughter of the Bountiful Venture Company’s talented surveyor, Lyra Heatherly. Since childhood, she’s had two deep obsessions: 1) a fascination with the races, cultures, and (especially) monsters of Goalarion); and 2) stories of ancient cultures and civilizations. As she got older, she even went so far as to learn to read and write their nearly-forgotten languages. She recently got a scribing job at the firm and put in an application for the expedition without her mother’s knowledge. The wealth of knowledge in the young know-it-all’s head—as well as her abilities as both a healer and crossbow sniper—were paramount in her getting a nod to join the expedition…as was a bit of underhanded subterfuge.

In truth, Hailey’s not the sweet little lady most people at the BVC think she is: She was and still is a bit of a wild child, not afraid to break a few rules for kicks or to get what she wants. She learned to swim in the rivers and channels that run throughout Almas when she joined a gang of teenaged troublemakers who used the city’s waterways in their pranks and occasional thefts. From a handsome young rogue in that same gang she learned to fire a crossbow with unusual accuracy. He also schooled her in the art of picking locks, another dubious skill Hailey proved quite adept at. This talent enabled her to secretly enter the main recruiter’s office one night after her interview. After making a quick copy of the report on her, Hailey channeled her efforts into forging the document, changing the parts that brought up her shortcomings (physical strength and fitness/conditioning especially) and giving herself a beaming recommendation.
(This deed is the reason for her guilty fraud drawback. Her gang activities explain her river rat and criminal traits, not to mention her choice of feats.)

Her mother is paradoxically furious at Hailey for filing an application to join the expedition and secretly relieved to have her wayward child nearby, as Lyra suspected some of her daughter’s late-night hijinks in the city and worried what trouble the girl would find if left to her own devices. As for Hailey herself, her mind’s filled with flights of fancy about how much fun the trip and living in a distant land will be; she has no clue how dangerous the expedition might turn out.

Her friends gave her a sort of gag gift before she departed Almas: a drowner’s helmet. If she can successfully practice with the strange device, though, it might mean the difference between life and death for the young would-be explorer.

ARCHIVIST (Bard Archetype)
Some bards greatly prefer academic pursuits to the drama (and sometimes melodrama) of their artistic brethren.
Bardic Performance
An archivist gains the following types of bardic performance:
Naturalist (Ex): An archivist who has identified a creature with a Knowledge check appropriate to its type can use performance to share strategies for defeating it with allies in combat. The archivist and any allies within 30 feet gain a +1 insight bonus to AC and on attack rolls and saving throws against exceptional*, supernatural, and spell-like abilities used by creatures of that specific kind of monster (e.g., frost giants, not all giants or all humanoids). This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every six levels thereafter. This language-dependent ability requires visual and audible components.
This ability replaces inspire courage.
* Probably means Extraordinary (because there is no such thing as “exceptional” abilities).
Lamentable Belaborment (Ex): At 6th level, an archivist can bewilder a creature already fascinated by his performance. Using this ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but it does require a standard action to activate (in addition to the free action to continue the fascinate effect). The target must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier). Success renders the target immune to this power for 24 hours, but failure leaves the target either dazed or confused (archivist’s choice) for as long as the performance continues. If the target takes damage, this effect ends immediately. This mind-affecting ability relies on audible components. This ability replaces suggestion.
Pedantic Lecture (Su): At 18th level, an archivist can affect as many creatures with lamentable belaborment as he currently has fascinated. In addition, he may choose to cause targets to fall asleep rather than be dazed or confused. This ability replaces mass suggestion.
*Lore Master (Ex): At 2nd level, an archivist may take 20 on Knowledge checks once per day, plus once per six levels beyond 2nd. This ability replaces versatile performance.
(see Editor’s Note below)
Magic Lore (Ex): At 2nd level, an archivist gains a bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify magic items or decipher scrolls equal to half his bard level and may take 10 on such checks. An archivist can use Disable Device to disarm magical traps as per a rogue’s trapfinding ability and gains a +4 bonus on saves against magical traps, language-dependent effects, and symbols, glyphs, and magical writings of any kind. This ability replaces well-versed.
Jack of All Trades (Ex): At 5th level, an archivist can use any skill, even if the skill normally requires him to be trained. At 11th level, he considers all skills to be class skills, and at 17th level he can take 10 on any skill check, even if it is not normally allowed. This ability replaces lore master.
Probable Path (Ex): At 10th level, an archivist can calculate the action likely to bring success with the least risk. Once per day, he can take 10 on any d20 roll. He may use this ability one additional time per day for every three levels after 10th. This ability replaces jack of all trades.
Editor’s Note
The designer of this archetype has clarified that the entry is intended as a modification to the normal lore master bard ability, not a replacement for it. The intent of the ability is that the Archivist retains all other aspects of the lore master ability. This is not yet official errata, but GMs are encouraged to use the ability as it was intended by the designer.
