Baby Krrys'tall (hard to pronounce with human vocal chords, just roll the "r"s to get a similar sound) swims around in the nursery pond deep in the Mwangi Jungle. They peer up out of the water at the adult tripkee, always guarding their most precious treasure. One of the adults leaps into the water and gently rounds the tadpoles up... it is finally time to test their newly formed legs! Stand Up: 1d20 ⇒ 4 Krrys'tall's legs buckle beneath them and they slip back down the bank of the pond. The strong arms of an adult help them back out and chirp encouragements for another try. Stand Up 2: 1d20 ⇒ 2 Discouraged from the initial failure, Krrys'tall barely tries the second time. They slide back again, wanting to feel the comforting embrace of the water once more. However, the adult tripkee again helps them back onto the shore... this time with a more stern croak. Stand Up 3: 1d20 ⇒ 4 Not wanting to engage with the stupid exercise anymore and not understanding why they just can't remain in the water, Krrys'tall lazily slides out of the adult's arms and flops onto one side. The adult stares baby Krrys'tall down as they lazily and willfully slip back into the pond's embrace... Uh oh! Not a good start to little Krrys'tall's tale!
I will shelf the merfolk for now. I should probably stick to something simple while learning the forum layout. There are a few other amphibious ancestry options that may be easier to play, but they are all uncommon. Are uncommon and rare options allowed? Also, I forgot to include a few things in my introduction:
Hi, Everyone! Sorry I missed so much. I honestly thought my post had been buried already. I am trying to figure out how to navigate the website, as I write this. I am a long-time player of Pathfinder and table-top role-playing games in general. I started with D&D 3rd about 14 years ago. I have been playing Pathfinder for about a decade and Pathfinder 2e for a few years. I am well versed in the game itself, but I get anxious entering new environments, like the forums. As for character concepts, I have been listening to "The Maiden and the Selkie" by Heather Dale a lot lately, and Aeshuura's character being from the islands kind of inspired me. So, I am thinking of maybe going with a merfolk. Although, they seem to not be competent on land until 5th level. I am definitely open to suggestions. |
