Chameleon Skin

• Prereq: Edeinos

Some very rare edeinos have a strange mutation that allows their skin to change color to match their environment. As long as they don’t wear excessive clothing or armor that obscures their scales, they are Favored at stealth tests. If the edeinos uses an Active Defense all ranged attacks against him suffer an extra –2 penalty.

Death Claw

• Prereq: Edeinos, Spirit 10+

When the black stone of the great volcanoes turns to liquid, the bravest of edeinos may undergo the “ritual of the death claw.“ They do this only under the supervision of their optant, who prays to Lanala for life while the warrior attacks the molten stone with his claws, dipping, slashing, and punching until his hands burn brilliant orange. If he survives this ritual, his talons are forever after black as night and harder than steel.

Edeinos with the Death Claw Perk cause Strength +3 damage, Armor Piercing 2 when attacking with their claws.

Star Eyes

• Prereq: Edeinos

All edeinos can see in the dark to some extent, but some are born with additional guanine crystals in their eyes that refract and amplify ambient light. Those born with “stars in their eyes,“ as the jakatts say, can ignore four points of vision penalties due to darkness.

Stone Skin

• Prereq: Edeinos

Perhaps the edeinos and the creatures Earthlings call dinosaurs share some common ancestors, for some of their species seem to bear the monstrous lizards’ traits. Edeinos with Stone Skin are evidence of such a link. Their scales are tinged with gray—though some cover or “color“ them with natural materials to hide it—and are much tougher than most others of their kind. The Stone Skin Perk grants an edeinos Armor +2. This is normal Armor, and therefore does not stack with other forms of Armor.
