You're stuck using regular class-based and feat-purchased weapons, just like hunams.Fact is, HE is just a useless race in 3E. Frankly, I can't say I'm terribly upset, because I've always viewed them as freaks that shouldn't rightly exist as anything but extreme aberrations in the first place. Of course, if being a freak means power, like in previous editions, I'm all for it. Normalcy is overrated, anyway. This is not one of those times.The HE has no practical benefit to play. +skills in places that won't matter, because if you HAVE the skill, you have to bury enough ranks in it that a tiny +1 won't matter, and the +1 won't exactly grant you early access to a PrC, either, since those are by rank. Otherwise, you don't really have the skill. If you DON'T have the skill, +1 to something you can't do is still something you can't do.Sure, it's always possible that you'll pass a save by that small hair, but it's not worth the cost of both the feat AND the skillpoints. If I really felt that strongly about it, I'd just buy the damn feat using my free hunam feat. However, I see that saving throws are all rigged, anyway, and unless it's your strong save, you're never going to pass one. Just forget about it and go look for immunity through magic, because you're wasting your time there, and the higher level you are, the larger your save penalty is on your bad save, which starts out around -2, and ends somewhere around -6.That leaves the minor immunity. An immunity which becomes a non-issue after 4th level. If your character can't survive that long, he didn't deserve to live anyway. Life is harsh. Any character so obviously non-viable doesn't deserve to live and reproduce.</blockquote>
