SPECIAL ABILITIES

Water Dependent (Ex)

Gillmen must submerge themselves completely in salt or fresh water at least once every 24 hours or begin to dehydrate. Death claims a gillman after 24 + 4d6 hours without submersion.

Gillmen are avid duelists, but their confrontations are hardly the elegant dances of the brash human nobles. Their ritualized knife fights erupt in bars and back alleys across the docks, and the most flamboyant displays aren’t with blades, but with tongues shocking insults and sexual innuendo fly back and forth to horrify or enrage an opponent into making mistakes. Such encounters are rarely fatal; gillmen traditionally fight to first blood. Afterward, the winner claims a trophy from the loser: sometimes a handkerchief, other times an ear.
