As my Races Of Sarunia thread seems to be getting responses that warrant more info about the setting, I'll be posting custom Prestige Classes for the setting in this thread.
First up is my Elven Seachild; since aquatic elves are not a unique subrace in Sarunia, only elves that complete the PrC can become one with the sea.

Swim (Ex): The elven seachild gains a swim speed of 20 feet and has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. At 3rd and 5th level the swim speed of the elven seachild increases by 20 feet.
Weather Sense (Ex): For each level gained in this prestige class, the elven seachild gains a +2 bonus on its Survival checks when trying to predict the weather.
Heightened Visual Acuity (Ex): At 2nd level the lowlight vision of the elven seachild improves, allowing them to see three times as far as a human in condition of dim light. At 4th level they can see four times as far as a human in conditions of dim light.
Subriguous Spellpower (Ex): At 2nd level, when the elven seachild casts a spell with the water descriptor, it is cast with a +1 bonus to its caster level. This bonus increases to +2 at 4th level.
Child of the Sea (Ex): At 5th level the elven seachild becomes an amphibious creature the and gains the aquatic subtype.
I'd have to read the fluff / background on how/why they become to be aquatic. This is not making sense to me as to why there aren't aquatic elves to begin with.
Hoping for more comments and critiques.
I know this would probably be detailed in a seperate thread, but have you begun work on deities? I love mythology, and would be interested in reading about the pantheons of Sarunia, particularly the deities of the various animal peoples.

I'm seriously considering using the deities from my scrapped 3.5 homebrew in Sarunia. As soon as I can find the document I'll post it up.
