According to legend, they are  descended from Angus MacOdrum, a powerful fighter-wizard who united  clans of humans, aquatic elves and selkies into a new tribe. The silkie  are allied with aquatic elves and selkies, and will aid them against  their foes – particularly sahuagin and sharks. All silkie are innate  sorcerers, and some are spellcasters of great skill.Like their selkie cousins, silkie can take on the form of a seal, but  they can only change into seals if they don a magical seal skin. Silkie  tradition obliges a silkie to become the servant to any individual who  captures the silkie's seal skin, the silkie cannot lie to his or her  master and must deliver any reasonable service or ransom for the return  of their skin. Any dishonorable or treacherous act on the captor’s part  frees the silkie from obligation.Some silkie families and bands live in sea caves, but the majority of  the race dwell in Land Under Wave, a group of wondrous cities at the  bottom of the sea. Powerful magic provides these cities with a dome of  breathable air, an artificial sun and perpetually pleasant weather, so  fine fruit and vegetables grow all year round. The cities are hundreds  of miles apart, but are interconnected by permanent teleportation circle  spells that allow instant travel between them. Time runs strangely in  Land Under Wave, causing living creatures to age five times slower than  they would outside the cities' magic.The silkies of Land Under Wave have a tradition of taking humanoid  children to raise as servants. Some of these were abandoned infants left  to die of exposure, but the more chaotic silkies are not adverse to  stealing unattended children and leaving a changeling in their place.  These humanoid servants are adopted by silkie families and treated  kindly, but have to serve the silkie for 50 years before being freed  (although many elect to remain in Land Under Wave after finishing their  service). The magic of the silkie's domed cities means the servants only  age a decade during those 50 years.Silkie look just like particularly tall and finely built half elves in  their humanoid form, a typical silkie is between 5½ and 6 feet tall and  weighs about 160 pounds in humanoid form. In seal form, a silkie is from  7 to 8 feet long and weighs around 500 pounds.Silkies speak Aquan, Common, Elven and Sylvan.CombatSilkies fight with spells or weapons when in humanoid form and with  spells or teeth in seal form. They usually start combat by casting spells, then melee or withdraw as the circumstances warrant.In half-elf form, silkies protect themselves with sharkskin leather   armor and shields and fight with stone-bladed weapons, favoring spears,  battle axes and  warhammers. The stone from which their weapons are made  is magically  treated to be as tough as steel. In seal form silkies fight with spells or their teeth, they often try to capsize boats used by land-dwelling opponents. Alternate Form (Su): A silkie can assume the form of a handsome  half-elf or an unusually large seal. It must be wearing its Magic Skin  (see below) to assume seal form. Capsize Boat (Ex): Silkies in seal form can capsize boats up to 50 ft. in length. They  must succeed at a  Strength check against a DC of 15 plus the boat's length in  feet to capsize it (e.g. a 30 ft. boat has a DC of 15+30 of 45 to capsize). Any unsecured occupants or cargo  in a  capsized boat ends up in the water. Groups of silkies use Aid Another actions on this Strength check to tip over boats too big for a single silkie.Children of the Sea (Su): Once per day, a selkie  can call forth a pod of 2d4+1 porpoises as a standard action. These  marine mammal allies arrive in 2d6 rounds and aid the selkie for up to 1  hour.Hold Breath (Ex): A silkie in seal form can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 8 times its Constitution score before it risks drowning. Magic Sealskin (Su):  All silkies possess an enchanted sealskin which allows them to assume  seal form (see Alternate Form, above). Should another creature steal  this skin, the silkie is unable to attack them unless the skin's thief  attacks the silkie first (as per the affect of the sanctuary  spell). Furthermore, the silkie has a -4 penalty to resist all  Charisma-based skills and saves against enchantment spells performed by  the skin-thief.  If a silkie's sealskin is destroyed, the silkie is able to create a new  one by performing an hour-long ritual in the Land Below Waves with the  assistance of a silkie with a magic sealskin.Marine Mammal Empathy (Ex): A silkie can communicate with any marine mammal and has a +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against seals and porpoises.Spells: A silkie casts spells as a 6th level sorcerer.Typical Spells Known (6/7/6/3, save DC 12 + spell level)0---daze, detect magic, ghost sound, mending, prestidigitation, ray of frost, read magic;1st---charm person, magic missile, shield, unseen servant 2nd---daze monster, gust of wind 3rd---lightning bolt     </blockquote>
