Fearful Fisher was a fisher in life, and remains a fisher in death—though now, he hungers for fishes that were fattened on humanoid flesh. He sometimes offers his services as a boatman, transporting travelers across the lake he lives on, and occasionally takes an opportunity to drown a lone passenger, though, given a chance, he prefers to slowly feed the fishes with carefully selected pieces of the victim's flesh.

New Feat: Kick The Downed (Combat)
You are particularly adept at hitting prone opponents.
Benefit: Prone targets lose their Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) against your melee attacks. If you score a critical hit with an attack of opportunity provoked by standing up, the target loses the action used and immediately falls down.
