I was wondering about choosing "savage" creatures for favored enemies as well...

I don't have the mag in front of me, but did the savage template alter their type? or does it work the same way as lycanthropes do now, where the base creature maintains their original type as far as the favored enemy is concerned...?

No it doesn't change the creature type. When I decided to make it a valid choice i had in mind the rule where you can choose the followers of a god as a favored enemy, though it's not the same thing.

Running a 5-member party of experienced players has left me with no near TPK so far. The most life-threatening one was with the savage deinoneichus which dropped 2 players at the negs and the one with the Flotsam Ooze albeit with the same result.

I was kinda let down by the encounter with the Will'o'Wisp and the Varrangoin due to players' extreme fit of luck. Even the Will'o'Wisp's 29 AC wasn't enough to keep the encounter interesting.

I'm hoping to be finished with SWW tonight, though the party still has a batch or two of Vine Horrors before they reach the Thunderer.
Running a party of 5, i can say it's been relatively easy up to now, and i had to set up (and cheat a bit on the dice:P) to create some more life-threatening situations.
So far they have found and encountered everything there was to encounter.
I can't wait for HTBM and the T-Rex encounter:P

One thing i can say for sure, we're having lots of fun!
Keep up the good work!

There was a discussion with a ranger in my party that wanted to choose "savage" creatures as a 2nd favored enemy. Of course that was after they left Kraken's Cove. Though i thought it wasn't such a bad idea i didn't know if any other "savage" creatures would turn up in the campaign later. I've already decided to allow retraining on that, but i was also wondering if the savage template is a valid choice for favored enemy.

Seems you're doing a hell of a fine job mate!
I'd like to have the whole package too if you don't mind :)
