Merfolk for 5E D&D

Merfolk are aquatic humanoids with a humanoid upper body and the tail of a fish. The color and patterns of their scales and fins are as varied as the fish of the sea.

Some information about merfolk culture and settlements can be found on page 218 of the Monster Manual.

Google doc at this link, which also contains the Weapon Throwing Expert feat and Water Jet cantrip.

「Learn Japanese」 How-to use あるいは to link alternative possibilities

「Learn Japanese」 How-to use あるいは to link alternative possibilities

The grammar pattern あるいは is used to link two or more alternatives to the point wherein both (or all) alternatives are possible all at the same time. Given that, context usually implies that there is in fact a best choice amongst all the possibilities. The actual translation for the phrasing あるいは  is one that also particularly depends on the context in which it is being used, with the most common translations being simply “or,” and “either X or Y.” In other contexts, it can be more naturally worded as “possibly, alternatively, perhaps, in some cases, etc.” The kanji for あるい is 或(い), which translates to “some, one, or, possibly, a certain, etc.” This is the same ある we use when we say あるNOUN to mean “a certain NOUN,” “some NOUN,” etc. However, as is with that example, the ある in あるいは almost always appears in kana form. Additionally, あるいは is mostly used in formal speech or written language. 

Construction: あるいは  + NOUN あるいは  + CLAUSE

Example(s): 水曜日はどうですか？あるいは金曜日ですが。 Suiyoubi wa doudesu ka? Arui wa kinyoubi desuga. How does Wednesday sound? Another possibility would be Friday.

三時午後までにオフィスに宿題出をしてください。あるいはネットで出してください。 Sanji gogo made ni office ni shukudai (w)o dashite kudasai. Arui wa net de dashite kudasai. “Please turn in your assignment to my office by 3 P.M. Or, you can submit it online.”

彼は寝ていました。あるいは寝ていたふりをしていました。 Kare wa nete imashita. Aruiwa nete ita furi (w)o shite imashita. “He was asleep. Or perhaps he was just pretending to be asleep.”

Anime Example(s): 時々に選ばれた王たちは Tokodoki ni erabareta outachi wa “Every so often, a new king is chosen.” あるいは 生きて力を振るいー Arui wa ikite chikara (w)o furui “Some lived to exercise their power.” あるいは 死とともに去りー Arui wa shi to tomo ni sari “Others chose to pass on in death without leaving a mark.” またあるいはそれらを見守り続けた Mata arui wa sorera (w)o mimamoritsuduketa “And then there were those who chose to continually watch over their subjects.” *Example from episode 1 of K: Return of Kings

さぁこれで君は秘密を守らざるを得ない立場になったわ。この件に関して口をつぐむか、あるいは… Saa, kore de kimi wa himitsu (w)o mamorazaru (w)o enai tachiba ni natta wa. Kono ken ni kanshite kuchi (w)o tsugumuka, arui wa… “Now then, with this, it looks like you’re obligated to keep this a secret between us. I trust you’ll keep quiet about this matter? Otherwise…” *Example from episode 5 of Rewrite

There are different kinds of darkness. There is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. There is the darkness of lovers and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearers wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good
