Below the Thunders of the Upper Deep

You have a skin as gray and slippery as an eel, rows of sharp shark teeth (d6), bulging eyes that can see in minimal light, and a hunger for raw flesh. You can breathe underwater and swim as easily and quickly as you would move on dry land.

His Control Stops With the Shore

Your cravings for raw flesh grow insistent. Animal meat satisfies, but feels a bit empty. Man-flesh, on the other hand, is a glorious delight to your palate. Eating man-flesh once per week stops your ageing; once per day reverses it towards your prime. Each HD of man-flesh consumed also grants you +1 max hp until you next rest.

d6 Gifts of the Fathomless Depths

1. Beauty Untarnished: She cares. At will, cover your cursed blessed form with a glamour, gaining the appearance of a gorgeous land-dweller. You may also weave illusory clothes and hide any injuries, blemishes, grime, blood splatters or other imperfections.
2. Voice Unbridled: Her Your Her voice is bewitchingly beautiful. When you sing, name an emotion and test Charisma/Singing. On success, your song provokes that emotion as long as you keep singing. On failure, it still has a profound effect, but with unintended, possibly disastrous consequences.
3. Words Unnecessary: They all care. You can speak with all water-dwelling creatures.
4. Things Unsaid: You are one of them now. You have a sonar-like awareness of your surroundings while in water.
5. Promise Unbroken: You would kill for them. For her. Your scaled skin is as tough as chainmail and your overlarge teeth can shatter steel (d10 damage).
6. Love Unconditional: She reciprocates. You can cast and learn spells as a wizard. Gain 1 MD and 2 spells chosen from the sea sorceress, servant of the sea, deep mage or nereid spell lists.
