Typical Stats

ST:	35 (KYOS: 26)	HP:	60	Speed:	6
DX:	10	Will:	11	Move:	9 water
IQ:	11	Per:	11
HT:	14	FP:	14	SM:	+3

    Tentacle (12): thrust 4d+2 crushing (KYOS: 5d+1 crushing), Reach C-2.
    Energy Drain: While maintaining ongoing contact (grappling, for example), the caller from the deeps can drain 1 HP per second from the victim, while healing 1 HP or 1 FP per 3 stolen HP.
    Siren’s Call (11): A caller from the deeps can emit a mental call that affects sapient creatures within 32 yards of it. It can exclude any creatures from this effect. To affect each victim, the caller from the deeps must win a Quick Contest of IQ with the victim’s Will, using normal range penalties (p. B550). Apply a -1 penalty per creature already under caller’s control. If the caller of the deeps loses, it cannot attempt to control that victim again for 24 hours, and he feels a sense of mental coercion emanating from the caller. On a critical failure, the caller from the deeps also loses control of anyone else under the influence of this ability!
    Captivated victims do everything they can to come as close as possible to the caller while it keeps taking Concentrate maneuvers and for margin of failure minutes after it stops. If the caller is incapacitated, or if the victim is forced to move through something that can cause his death, roll another Quick Contest.

    Elven Reverie: Aquatic elves do not sleep, as members of the other common races do. Instead, an elf meditates in a deep trance for 4 hours a day. An elf resting in this fashion gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. While meditating, an elf “dreams,” though these dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. The elf is still conscious and aware of his surroundings, but immobile. The human word for an elf’s meditation is “trance,” as in “four hours of trance,” but the elves themselves call this “reverie.” When an elf is suffering from a disease, poison, or is below 2/3 of his HP, he cannot enter this meditative state and has to sleep normally.
