SPECIAL ABILITIES

Mouthless (Ex)

Astomoi don’t need to eat or drink to survive. Instead, they absorb the essence of food and drink; this consumes the nutrients of the meal as though it had been eaten, rendering the food useless to others. Astomoi consume serums and other ingested materials in the same fashion. Since they never actually ingest anything, they can’t normally be exposed to ingested poisons.

Sensitive Breath (Ex)

Astomoi take a –2 penalty on saving throws against disease and inhaled poisons.

Telepathic Senses (Ex)

Astomoi can’t speak or see, granting them the sightless quality. They compensate by mentally sensing the area within 60 feet, granting them blindsight (thought). An astomoi can use language- dependent abilities with its telepathy, but not abilities that depend on audible components.

Astomoi shadow psychics appearance in the galaxy is rare but pervasive; they can be found in every corner of the known galaxy but rarely more than one at a time. Though a shadow psychic’s purpose and intentions are unknown, wary travelers learn to distrust their honeyed thoughts and rich promises. Once angered, they inflict horrors on the minds of their foes.
