aquatic subtype vs native to water


Advice


I'm trying to write a generalization of smite evil that covers all the published variants and can expand. The Kraken Slayer archetype has

Smite Deepest Evil (Su): This functions as the smite evil ability, but the kraken slayer does not get a bonus of 2 points of damage per level on the first successful attack against any creatures other than evil creatures with the aquatic or water subtype. She gains a bonus of 2 points of damage per level on all smite attacks made against evil creatures with the aquatic or water subtype.

The Question:

If I changed "with the aquatic or water subtype" to "native to water" (so that I could immediately generalize to other ranger favored terrains), how many beasties would get brought in or left out by the change?

The list would be expanded quite a bit I would say, since you’d be adding a bunch of Aberrations and other creatures to the target list.

Can’t really think of anything you’d lose, since if they have those types they tend to be native to water environments. Ice monsters I guess?
