[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 4292339, member: 35678"] As a full-caster race, the +2 LA is a complete killer on this build. Personally, as soon as I clicked on that link, I thought that this race should either get -2 CON or -2 STR, and personally while it might make sense that this race would be better adapted to the sea ocean, the +2 CON really isn't doing much. It's a nice thought, but it's just adding to much towards the +2 LA that we want to bring down a tad ;) Personally, I completely agree with the +2 CHA; this race is obviously very beautiful etc. However, as this really doesn't help the Psion aspect of this race, my opinion is that they should get -2 STR. Why? Because that means they get a +2 which doesn't benefit them as a caster, and a -2 which doesn't hinder them as a caster - whereas a CON penalty would be much too much of an Achilles Heel, IMO. Also, I think the 5 landspeed is actually [i]too much[/i]. Rather, their speed should be 5 (as a full round action). This, in all likelyness, won't come into play in an underwater campaign, but really the way that that races physical set-up is, they likely couldn't get around worth a hoot on land. As for their swim speed, this race really doesn't come off to me as being very graceful or quick - beautiful, without a doubt, but not swift. Would a 30 swim speed, be reasonable?
