So, I gained and used this item on Tuesday.
My character is a female Merfolk Oracle/Cleric/Paladin of Dranngvit. She came to Trunau with visions of giants, dwarves, fire, and dragons. She has been very excited about the recent dwarfiness of the AP, praying to the pantheon, figuring out the dwarf pantheon puzzles, refilling the fonts and praying, etc. just, in general, it has been fun for her, and me.
She also has the Artifact Hunter campaign trait, so she recognized the hand and what it was immediately, she felt it, and other things along the way, had been intentionally thrown in her path, to aid her on the journey.
She stood an all night vigil in the temple in the tomb with the two NPC dwarves, one of whom agreed to cut off the hand, and the other who applied the steelhand.
So, now she is a female elf-looking sort, with a male dwarven metallic right hand, and she’s loving it.
With a +16 Will save, I expect to make the save pretty often. Not to mention that I’m a clouded vision Oracle, so I can only see 60’ anyways.
Wish us luck!
Role playing? Original character? Divine?
I think this character hits it out of the park!
She was created for Brimleydower's Giantslayer game that died.
Her background, personality, and appearance are all in her profile.
I would ask for one rules "exception" - rather than being a full time "tailed" Merfolk, that it take a swift action to switch from "tailed" to "legged" like in the movie Splash.
Other than that she is a mechanically legal Merfolk that I would update per your rules. Her speed comes from being a strong tail Merfolk and her oracle mystery.

If the video game is your priority, then there's no need to fake it here. Let's just call it done and we can all move on.
Just one person's opinion.

Skrioth blinks again, unsure of the situation, so she decides to do as directed by Qytheerah. She crawls across the floor, and reaches her hand out to touch Arctorus, "Angraad, hear my call, I pray thee."

Skrioth's eyes flutter open. She focuses her vision on Qytheerah's face. "D-d-d-did we win?"
Skrioth reaches down and casts cure light wounds on herself before rising to check out the status of the rest of the group.

Skrioth's body, battered and burned by the assault of the skeleton as it was, nonetheless made every effort to keep her alive. She briefly stabilized before the creature's inherent flame set her afire again, and she resumed the process of dying.

Skrioth takes her fire damage:
fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5
She then takes another swing at the purple creature, or if someone has dropped purple already, she will strike another injured enemy.

As purple and orange rose, Skrioth claims some AOOs. Not against the one next to me, as I interpret it stood within my 5' range.

Pay no attention to my 30' aura on Roll20. With FoW turned off, I'm using that as the extent of my Darkvision.

Hmmmm, was able to move myself in Safari actually. Wonder if the latest update to iOS helps?
I went behind Arctorus instead, as next round I can swing with a reach weapon.

I don't know where on the map the hole is, but if I could watch her fall into it, then I guess I know where it is. I will move to the edge of it, and extend my weapon into the hole, it is a race weapon, so it should reach 10', so maybe be in the square right above Grafelda, so she can use it in place of a rope to climb up?

Before he attempts the climb, Skrioth casts guidance on Arctorus, to provide a +1.

Skrioth offers, "let me see the flasks and the scrolls."
She casts read magic and deciphers the scrolls.
She casts detect magic and attempts to discern the two potions.
