Added 2023-09-28 12:41:37 +0000 UTC

Here is the update to Sea Elf as they are officially ready for update 1.1. So now they have new presets for all body types, private parts, and more hairstyles, and are a standalone race no longer just a subrace of the Elf race. This helps them follow more closely with their update in Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. They for the most part follow RAW below is what was changed from the source material.

Friend of the Sea

Aquatic animals have an extraordinary affinity with your people. You can communicate simple ideas to any Beast that has a swimming speed. It can understand your words, though you have no special ability to understand it in return.

1.0 Version: Gave you Petpal which essentially just allowed you to talk to animals without casting Speak With Animals. After reflecting on the matter I decided against this in 1.1.

*NEW* 1.1 Version: Gives you Proficiency with Animal Handling and expertise with Animal handling. With the focus on the source materials statement that you have no special ability to understand animals, I decided to buff Friend of the Sea for two reasons:

1. As far as I can tell there aren't any Sea Creatures to even talk to or a Tag that separates Sea Creatures. That would just make this passive kind of pointless to even have so I made it any animal.

2. Animal Handling allows you to be better at dealing with animals which follows the text of you have an extraordinary affinity with animals and it does not mean you fully understand animals but they can typically understand you when using Animal Handling. So I made the passive give you Expertise with dealing with them instead, this way it's more balanced and this passive doesn't become a pointless Passive or something I just remove altogether.
