[QUOTE="Zzyzx, post: 3814766, member: 34319"] I've been putting together a water-based campaign (yes, with 4e just around the corner I am starting a 3.5e campaign). And the sahuagin are really odd. Two points, one minor, the other almost a campaign-breaker: 1. Alignment: Mostly lawful, but fly into a blood frenzy when damaged. (This makes me wonder if I should relax the alignment restrictions on my barbarians.) 2. Powerful: Ability scores of the basic warrior in MM: Str 14, Dex 13, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 13, Cha 9. Compare that with the aquatic elves that I was planning on using as their main adversaries: +2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence. So a net +6 intelligence average over the elves, and a lot stronger, tougher, and wiser (!). And the malenti make perfect spies, something that I imagine the elves would have a hard time countering (freedom-loving elves and police-state-style identification to discover intruders not going hand-in-hand). Sahuagin are also more organized and each know their place, to maximize their individual advantages. My elves don't stand a chance. [/QUOTE]
