Small Swimming Humanoid?


Advice


Is there a small humanoid race with a swim speed? It would be useful to be able to Alter Self into one.

The grippli has both a swim and climb speed:

Check this guide for some other possibilities:

Thanks, but grippli do not have a swim speed, and the guide you linked to (the link is broken, by the way--there's a stray space in it) lists only one small humanoid, the charau-ka, which has no swim speed.

Any other ideas?


Aasimar Can be:
Small [Sidebar: Non-Human Aasimar]
Humanoid [Scion of Humanity]
have swim speed [Variant Aasimar Abilities, 12%]

Tieflings Can be:
Small [Non-Human Tieflings]
Humanoid [Pass for Human]
have swim speed [Variant Tiefling Abilities, 19%]

Since only 1% of non-standard, non-human ones have swim, I'd expect a hefty know [local/planes] check to know about them.

Argh, sorry, you're right. The grippli we ran into must have had the special ranger ability. I was so excited, too! No, I don't know of any small humanoids with a swim speed.

I used to transform into a medium-sized lizardfolk for a 15' swim speed and 3 attacks with Alter Self. If you want a swim speed with the aquatic sub-type, for breathing underwater, the medium gillman or Locathah would give you 30'.

Monstrous Physique I is 3rd level, but then you can transform into the monstrous humanoids, and there are a few possibilities. My favorite is the Charda, which is a fantastic form with 5 attacks and a 60' swim swim.


If your grippli is a ranger it can after 8 levels.


grindylows are RP22, and are small with a swim speed - you could always change the race to make a grindlylow less powerful or a medium race small

Alter Self: "you can assume the form of any Small or Medium creature of the humanoid type."

Grindylow: "aberration (aquatic)"

grindylows not really fitting the OP's request.
