Half-Asyndi - by T.A. Saunders ©2013 v1.0
Intuitive Thinking
Half-Asyndi are extremely clever, having that spark of innovation humans have to think outside the box with a touch of the Asyndi superior intellect. This allows for a +15% to spell hit and a +15% to any intuition roll they might have. Additionally, if an intuition check is botched they can be afforded a second check to ‘think the problem through.' NOTE: This talent does not stack with the Asyndi trait, Magic Affinity. (+15% to spell hit, +15% to intuition checks, second check possible if the first botches).
Mentally Sound
Half-Asyndi not only have gifted minds, their minds are also quite resilient to mental attack, affording them a 85% resistance to fear, charm and insanity-based attacks. This strength of mind also lends Half-Asyndi to be talented will-shapers, giving them a +10% to all will-shaping related talents. This trait also allows for innate telepathy, derived from their Asyndi bloodline. (85% resistance to fear/charm/insanity based attacks and a +10% to all will-shaping talents, innate telepathy).
Silver-Tongued
Along with the blessing of being somewhat more attractive than average thanks to their Asyndi bloodline, combined with the Human tendency to be clever, Half-Asyndi are exceedingly good at talking their way into and out of things, giving them a +20% to reaction rolls from possibly otherwise hostile/indifferent individuals and in the case of swashbucklers, a +10% overall bonus to the Smooth Talker talent. (+20% to reaction rolls and +10% bonus to Smooth Talker Swashbuckler talent). NOTE: This racial trait skill cannot be buffed by any other effect, spell or augmentation, such as a tattoo or magic item.
Strength of Ancient Bloodlines
Half-Asyndi may have one trait from the Human Racial Abilities and one from the Asyndi Racial Abilities. Note, a Half-Asyndi with a Quar`Vess parent cannot dip into the pool of Shar`Vaire Talents and vice versa. (Pick one trait from Human Racial Abilities and one from Asyndi Racial Abilities).
Mistaken Identity
Half-Asyndi have an uncanny knack for passing as purely Human, making them quite difficult to sort out in a population or distinguish separately. Having the look of merely a tall Human this grants them a 50% chance to be mistaken for the such a being. (50% to be mistaken for Human).
