INNATE ABILITIES (6 XP)
Mouthless (1 XP): Astomi have no mouths and cannot speak verbally or use verbal components. They "eat" by smelling foods and drink, absorbing nutrients through osmosis, and leaving the food and drink devoid of nutrition and useless for anyone else to consume. They can absorb potions and similar substances this way and the process automatically filters out poisons (except inhaled poisons).
Sensitive Scent (1 XP): Astomi have the Scent ability but also suffer a -4 penalty to saves against inhaled effects such as Stinking Cloud, smoke, and inhaled poisons. While affected by such effects, an astomi cannot breath and could suffocate before long.
Lesser Telepathy (4 XP): Astomi can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet. Like spoken speech, this requires a shared language for creatures to understand each other.
