Random Roll 30 - The Randomness

This week we have a reader request Merfolk for our race. There’s not a lot about them written on Golarion so we’re gonna have to make some stuff up. We managed an exactly 20 point buy with our rolls this week with Dex and Int coming out on top. As always Friday will see my build with these rolls, but what can you do with them?
