'''Frightful Presence''' ([[Su]])
Drowned Ones can inspire terror by their very appearance. Affected creatures must succeed on a DC 13 Will save or become shaken, remaining in that condition as long as they remain with 60 feet of the Drowned One. The save DC is Charisma-based.

'''Voices of the Deep''' ([[Su]])
As soon as a deep one spots an enemy, they raise their voices in a cacophonous, croaking language as a free action. All creatures (other than Deep Ones) within a 60-foot spread must succeed on a DC 13 Will save or be affected as though by a [[Confusion]] spell for 1d2 rounds. This is a sonic mind-affecting compulsion effect. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected by the same Drowned One’s voice of the deep for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.

'''Amphibious''' ([[Ex]])
Although Drowned Ones are aquatic, they can survive indefinitely on land.

===Combat===
Drowned Ones are aware of the eldritch horror they provoke in humanoid races and will raise their Voices of the Deep as soon as they see a threat. It draws attention to their presence, which provokes its Frightful Presence, as well (though it is a passive ability). Drowned Ones attack first with nets to entangle their opponents, hoping to drag them away to the water. If confronted, they will attack with tridents or short swords.

-notes=
+notes=Created by the spellcasters in the [[County of Tyr]] to be bodyguards, shield guardians are constructs that protect their masters with spells and stamina. When it is fashioned, a shield guardian is keyed to a particular magical amulet. Henceforth, it regards the wearer of that amulet to be its master, protecting and following that individual everywhere (unless specifically commanded not to do so).
-'''Frightful Presence''' ([[Su]])
+A shield guardian obeys its master’s verbal commands to the best of its ability, although it is not good for much beyond combat and possibly simple manual labor. It can also be keyed to perform specific tasks at specific times or when certain conditions are met. The wearer of the amulet can call the shield guardian from any distance, and it will come as long as it is on the same plane.
-'''Voices of the Deep''' ([[Su]])
+A shield guardian is some 9 feet tall and weighs more than 1,200 pounds.
-'''Amphibious''' ([[Ex]])
+Shield guardians cannot speak, but they understand commands given in any language.
-===Combat===
+The creature’s master may assemble the body or hire someone else to do the job. Creating the body requires a DC 16 Craft (blacksmithing) or Craft (carpentry) check. The keyed amulet is fashioned at the same time, and its cost (20,000 gp) is included in the cost of the guardian. After the body is sculpted, the shield guardian is animated through an extended magical ritual that requires a specially prepared laboratory or workroom, similar to an alchemist’s laboratory and costing 500 gp to establish. If the creator is personally constructing the creature’s body, the building and the ritual can be performed together. A shield guardian with more than 15 Hit Dice can be created, but each additional Hit Die adds +5,000 gp to the market price, and the price increases by +20,000 gp if the creature’s size increases to Huge, modifying the cost to create accordingly.
