Help with elemental savant

[wujenta]

Hi everyone, I am the DM in my group, and one of my players has just hit level 10 in the elemental savant prstige class and asked me a good question. She is human, but now his type changes to Elemental and she wants to know if that means she will loose the extra skill point humans get or what is her life span. I am thinking about it, but, what do you people think?

As far as I know, she is still a human, except that she is no longer of the creature type humanoid / human, she is now an elemental / whatever element sub type. She should still get the 1 extra skill point per level, age and die like a human etc etc. This is just my own speculation however, I am not sure if the rules back me up or not on this.

I don't think BAB, skill points, or feat selection would change. However she does gain all the benefits of being an Elemental (immunity to stunning, etc.). I have no idea how long Elementals live, but I would guess they are pretty much immortal until slain.

from memory, the elemental savant transformation at 10th does list in it's description that they gain the immunity to stunning, criticals etc etc that the elemental creature type gives. Mentions nothing about aging, however, so I would assume that she would still get old and die as any other human would.
