[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 722835, member: 2072"] I, on the other hand, picked up Savage Species and feel this book is indispensable. Granted, my campaign is set beneath the surface of the sea; standard PH races have to either be highly modified, or ignored completely, to fit into the game. From my perspective, SS gives me ECL values for many aquatic races, new undersea weapons, PrCs, and templates. 3e stats for hippocampi, merrow, and scrag are revealed. And what's not to like about emancipated spawn? ;) Yes, I would allow a PC to progress as a water elemental. After all, half-elementals, genasi, and elemental savants have already been detailed. To top it all off, support from the book's authors has been phenomenal, on WotC boards. An aquatic template was cut for space, but was posted shortly after the book's release, by one of the authors. Nearly a thousand posts in ten days, over there. Clearly, folks want to talk about this book. [/QUOTE]
