Did I do the stat adjustments correctly for the gnome form? Also, I took a stat bump for my 4th Hit Die. I think that's correct, but let me know.

Abilities
Str 11/9 (11)
Dex 20/16 (16)
Con 18/16 (14)
Int 16/12 (12)
Wis 13/11 (11)
Cha 20/16 (15 + bump at 4 HD)
Stats are Natural Form/Gnome Form (Roll)

That looks right for the stats for both forms.

I have something of a bias I admit, because I was hoping for some more overt celestial/fiendish influence...

Given this note, and particularly our lack of clerical power, I'm thinking the whale might be a poor choice - he'd fill much the same niche as the elephant (though not to quite the same extent!).

How would you feel about a character with 8 levels in the Ghaele Savage Species racial class?

Where'd you get the Genasi stats?

From an old PC of mine.

But that's not the answer you are looking for, I'm sure. :lol:

They are in Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and Monsters of Faerun, both 3.0 books (why they didn't put stats in Races of Faerun I'll never figure out). To my knowledge, there is no 3.5 writeup, so one has to do a little bit of sleuthing to figure out the 3.5 stats. In this case, it's fairly easy - download the web enhancement for Monsters of Faerun for the 3.5 versions of the monsters therein. This shows that nothing has changed for the fire genasi, so it is okay to use the 3.0 version.

Oh, and a genasi cleric must choose a diety that offers a elemental domain according to their type (fire doman for fire genasi, etc) and choose that as at least one of their domains.

Goddess: The Savage Species version needs updating. I've done my best in the sblock below... if you see any discrepancies I missed ask me about them.

[sblock]
Level 1: Claws should do 1d6, like any other medium creature.

Level 2: Remove desecrate, darkness and doom from the list of spell like abilities.

Level 7: Energy Drain, if applied with a kiss, now incorporates a Suggestion to accept another kiss from the Succubus, Wil Save DC equal to the Energy Drain Fort DC.

Level 8: The Succubus no longer has access to Unholy Blight.

Level 9: Spell Resistance is now equal to 12 + Character Level.

Level 11: DR is now 10/cold iron or good

Level 12: The Succubus no longer has a 10% chance to summon a Balor. Replace this ability with a 30% chance to summon a Vrock.[/sblock]

Shame about the loss of spell like abilities, but I guess the Psionics will really help to offset that. Overall I think the changes probably result in a buff, particularly the big boost to SR.

I noted a few more things that look to have changed:

[sblock]
Class Skills: Add Diplomacy, Disguise, Intimidate, Survival, and Use Rope; subtract Craft, Profession, and Ride.
(Figured this by comparing 3.0 MM writeup and 3.5 MM writeup. 3.0 MM and SS writeup have the same class skills.)

Level 2: remove clairaudiance/clairvoyance from spell-like abilities
(not listed in 3.5 writeup)
[/sblock]

I'm not really that worried about the loss of spell-like abilities - most of 'em I probably wouldn't use, anyway. ;)
