To each their own for their own campaign, of course. Given that, 'm not sure 
I'd agree.  Remember Aquarians as a functional "civilization" (or 
sub-civilization) have only been around about 70 years.  We're not talking 
Atlantis (whichever ones of the DC Universe you choose, or Marvel's 
Sub-Mariner-style Atlantis, or whatever).

I'd be tempted to include such an ability as a Trick, or allow that it was 
part of an Alpha-style Aquarian's package (i.e., DC's Aquaman, which would 
probably include enhanced strength as well).

Maybe they just use waterproof marker boards...?  :)

The webbed fingers...IMO, I wouldn't worry about it.  Maybe for a newly 
revealed Aquarian, but the assumption seems to be they adapt to it after a 
year or so.
