race features:
Hold Breath: Orchans can hold their breath for up to 30 minutes. Aquatic Heritage: You are adapted to life in the water. You can breathe underwater, and you gain proficiency in the Athletics skill. Echolocation: You can use your echolocation to navigate and detect creatures underwater. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing while underwater. Powerful Build: You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. Sonar Pulse: Once per short rest, as an action, you can emit a sonar pulse in a 60-foot cone. All creatures in that cone must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus) or be deafened for 1 minute. Deafened creatures can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success. This ability reflects the Orchan's ability to use echolocation defensively. Ocean's Resilience: You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened, and you have resistance to cold damage. Your connection to the depths of the ocean grants you a measure of resilience against fear and the biting cold of the deep sea.
