The SendingStone review

Merfolk are a low-level D&D creature with a Challenge Rating of 1/8. They have average stats and speak Aquan and Common. Their abilities include underwater breathing, swimming speed, and a spear attack. Overall, their relatively low threat level makes them a good choice for lower-level encounters or non-combat scenarios involving aquatic settings. However, they do lack any particularly standout abilities or traits, making them somewhat forgettable compared to other creatures in the game.

Merfolk is D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) 5th edition content, but other TTRPGs may have their own version such as a Merfolk Pathfinder edition. Want to use Merfolk in a VTT (virtual tabletop)? Try out SendingStone for free today!
