Locathah can be both incredibly strong martials as well as well rounded casters in any campaign, but in Water adventure they're even better. You can even buff them further by introducing the Soaked/Wet conditions as well as the Slippery condition for even more fun in combat.
To see our Locathah player in action, check out our Waterdeep Dragon Campaign where we have a Tentacle of the Deep wielding Locathah Fathomless Warlock named Mako Tsunami, the Legendary Fisherman of Waterdeep, who wants to free his enslaved people who were tricked into servitude by the Broken Anchor, a network of Pirates who forced him to dive deep into the abyss for lost treasures, only for Mako to find an ancient spirit of the ocean trapped in a driftwood puzzle necklace shaped like a die. The time of the Locathah Rising is upon us! Tune in for weekly episodes of DnD 5e and meet our eclectic cast of adventurers featuring a Locathah, a Kobold, a Half-orc, and even a Sasquatch (Firbolg) as they band together to solve Neverember's Enigma and pull of some sweet heists!

Ooh, careful now! That seems a fair bit less sturdy than a metal lamp. But hey if the Kool-Aid man can burst through a wall unacathed, why not a genie. *gGmli voice* "I cannot make it over the wall...TOSS ME!" *fastball special knocks you through the wall your Fishbowl enters siege weapon mode* OH YEAAAA 🤪

Funny enough, I actually DID leave a Clue on the Red Herring Locathah (he was branded with a hot iron in the shape of a Broken Anchor) but they didn't use their Speak of the Dead scroll to take with him so I guess now they won't know of it *was* a clue 😆

Your passive perception is too stronk! Thank you that catch 🎣 my good Wetman! I really was rushing like crazy to get this video out on such short notice, if there's anything else you notice or have thoughts on feel free to share 🙂👍🏻 I know some of my graphics got messed up and I did a super gast patch job but oh well, had to cast that line so you fine folks could see it in time 😅

Sahuagin is pronounced "SEE-deh-vuhl".

Thank God, someone who speaks Common and not freaky-deeky-Dutchman! 🙏 That's much easier, but Unfortunately in our Waterdeep Deagon Dragon Heist they asked about the giant 100 ft tall Walking Statue that's right next to the Mud Flats where Mako lives (catching delicious Butter Crabs, mmm 🧈 🦀) and it is called Sahuagin Humbled. Darn proper titles! 😝

Ngl the Abe Sapien dude looks just like the freaky fish guy from Shape of Water (more like the other way around since Hellboy was first) and every time Mako casfs Shape Water I'm like Woah hey...Shape Water or Shape OF Water. Those are 2 very different things :P Abe Sapien sounds pretty bass'd tho 😉👌 #AllYourBassAreBelongToUs

You know, for the whale look for a race, might be interesting to update the Darfellan to 5e, the orca men were pretty cool. Also, if you still have it, there's the semi-official Fighter subclass that's perfect for locathah that was a limited collaboration with Riot Games on D&D Beyond though it got removed.

@VicariousVentures 14 күн бұрын

Ooh! 😍 I am blissfully unaware of Ebberon lore but I love the idea of an orca race. The Darfellan being enslaved (and enemies of) the Sahuagin gives a nice analog to Mako's Locathah people being enslaved historically by the Kua-toa (and Sahuagin), so it would be amazing for him to find some comradery with a Darfellan he encounters while investigating the whereabouts of his parents (who he unfortunately had to leave behind in a tragic flashback that's yet to occure, so I won't spoil it.) Is the Figther subclass you mentioned the Renegade subclass from the Legends of Runeterra: Dark Tides of Bilgewater adventure?

@AzraelThanatos 14 күн бұрын

@@VicariousVentures Darfellan weren't Ebberon, they're from 3.5 and appeared in the Stormwrack book...they're basically a race of aquatic big game hunters who kind of hunt anything and everything for a good story of the fight. They're also known to prefer colder waters... The other thing mentioned is the Bilgewater "Sourcebook", and you can find it rather easily because several places archived it off of D&D Beyond and it's more of a pirate themed small thing that covers part of the Riot Games thing with their card game, LoL, Arcane, and others...

@VicariousVentures 14 күн бұрын

@AzraelThanatos Thank you! I'll certainly try to do a deep dive into them on my own and perhaps I cam make a video on them in the future. At the very least I think they'd make for some great Homebrewed NPCs to add in. I have a follow uo camapign planned after our Dragon Heist campaign is over drawing from every nautical sourcebook I could find (which was already a lot, but after Kraken Week I'll be overflowing with ideas. Pun intended 😀)

The real question is; does wildshape reset limited amphibiousness? Also why do youtube DMs all seem so reticent to kill their players? You wanna pick super OP fish? Better figure out your water issue without pissing off your party too much running to the beach every 3 hours.

@VicariousVentures 14 күн бұрын

Hm, well RAW the player retains the "benefit" of racial features, but since Locathah are one of the few cases of racial features which aren't a benefit per se, those Rule Reef Sharks may be kept at bay (at bay, see what I did there? 😎) I'd personally just allow it to just delays their timer, and they're essentially stuck in their animal form to avoid drying out which I think would be kinda funny. Would be interesting to see if the wording was changed for the 2024 Druid which might say they just take on the racial features instead of the "benefits". Honestly though the drying out thing is a non issue for me, I have plenty of magic items I have given and will continue to give him to allow him to stay hydrated. Even in a survival setting where he does hit the time limit I would have him make DC 15 CON saves every hour for exhaustion instead of instantly dying. The fact that he can Create Water and Shape Water though essentially removes any serious threat of this happening.

Why do you take pride in killing and/or heavily penalizing your players? It's all a matter of preference. Some DMs want to form an over-arching story with a single party of PCs. Not a rotating circus, or a meat grinder, and that is their choice. Just like it's your choice to throw caution to the wind and say "Eh, whatever happens, happens. Have a back-up character, fuckers." Their videos show up in your feed because you click on them. If you don't like this kind of DM, don't play at their table. Or watch their youtube videos.
