Publisher's blurb: Welcome to the Marvelous Merfolk Compendium of PC Races! Merfolk are legendary water-dwelling human-like beings. They are attested in folklore and mythology throughout the ages in various parts of the world. While the standard setting offers a pittance of various merfolk races, this book stands to rectify that by providing a veritable rainbow of 22 playable merfolk races to entertain, inspire, and educate players and Game Masters alike. Aside from a small handful of races that draw on material in Psionics Unleashed (Dreamscarred Press), this tome is intended to work with Paizo Publishing’s Pathfinder RPG core books alone. Although the races can be used in the Cerulean Seas Campaign Setting (Alluria Publishing), this setting is not required to use this tome. In addition, this tome provides optional mechanics for buoyancy, drag, water pressure, and water current to add a bit more realism to your aquatic encounters.
