Cephalid (OSE) Cephalid Requirements: Minimum INT 9 Prime requisite: INT Hit Dice: d4 Maximum level: 12 Armor: none Weapons: dagger, staff Languages: Alignment, Cephalid, Common, Merfolk Cephalids are aquatic, sapient antropomorphic cephalopods, often resembling humanoid octopi, with beaks as mouths and tentacles instead of arms and legs. They have a more developed skeletal structure compared to their distant resemblants, which enables them to move outside water for a brief period, but they can't breathe air as well as water, and may dry out if they stay emerged for too long, at least without magical aid. Cephalids have a monarchic system of government, ruled over by an emperor or empress, and with a strong aristocratic hierarchy. Generally speaking, they're greedy creatures that want nothing more than power and control. Cephalids tend to be extremely cunning and manipulative, often plotting behind people's backs in an effort to climb up the social ladder. As
