When a deep one hybrid finally undergoes the change,

Creating a Deep One Scion
“Deep One Scion” is an acquired template that can be
added to any deep one hybrid (referred to hereafter as
the base creature).
Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature +1.
Type: The creature gains the aquatic and deep
one subtypes, and gains all deep one traits, as detailed
above. If the base creature was a humanoid, it loses all
subtypes it possessed as a humanoid, retaining only
the aquatic and deep one subtypes it gains from this
template (it retains all abilities granted by its previous

type, such as a human’s bonus feat and skill ranks).
Senses: A deep one scion has darkvision 60 feet and
low-light vision.
Armor Class: A deep one scion gains a +5 natural
armor bonus; this does not stack with any natural
armor bonus the base creature may have. If the base
creature’s natural armor bonus is higher, it retains that
bonus instead.
Defensive Abilities: A deep one scion is unharmed
by the negative effects of cold temperatures and has
cold resistance 5. It also gains the following defensive
ability.
Deep Dweller (Ex): Deep one scions are immune to
damage from water pressure; their bodies are capable of
instantly adjusting to different water depths or even the
surface with ease.
Weaknesses: A deep one scion loses the sea longing
weakness it possessed as a deep one hybrid.
Speed: A deep one scion gains a swim speed of
40 feet.

undergo this change are usually indistinguishable from

already possess them. These claw attacks inflict damage

full-blooded deep ones, but other creatures that become

as normal for a creature of the deep one scion’s size (1d4

deep one scions can take a wide range of unpleasant
