Blessing of the Sea

The sea can bless you with unimaginable power, but for now, you're too weak to even receive a hundredth of its power. You can channel the power of the ocean to coat your body in water increasing your range of damage types. Whenever you make melee weapon or make an unarmed strike you can add 1d4 piercing, bludgeoning, or slashing damage to the attack. Every 4 levels after level one the damage die foes up by 1d4 (5th level 2d4, 9th level 3d4, etc.).
