The Heretic
Should be playing D&D instead
To be fair, the thing that most annoyed me about the new races in Stormwrack was that they were nilly-willy tossing in new races, with new backstories, into my campaign world (if I used it as written). One of the other annoying options was the Aventi - which, IIRC, are LG humans that were placed in the oceans for a purpose by a good deity. That's annoying.
These weren't "here's a new race that fits organically into the generic campaign world" (a la Drow in G1-3) but instead "we made a book about water and we need to generate interest among the player base, so let's make up a bunch of new races they can use".
New spells and new monsters are easier to assimilate. New feats, new skills, new PC races, those are not.
