It should be less odd than is the case with Mages (Grr!  We read the
same books, now die) or Nagas... They are both same race / same type
split between two races...

Since I've talked to turin & he's OK with changing his merfolk / nagas
I'll go ahead & do that for his campaign, and the others, and notify
the others via PM.

Any other thoughts on this:

Also (In a hijack of my own thread):
Does anybody mind if I give the 'Drake Slasker' defense_weight=1.10 on
his firststrike spear? This is just enough to tip the balance into him
using it on defence when there is no difference between a pierce and
slash attack...
