Translucent wings spread, shimmering in colors as it becomes apparent that the limbs are not actually composed
of flesh, but of energy. With a sad smile, the frail-looking individual soars into the air, taking with him the feeling of calm that had seemed to settle over the clearing.
The keians are harbingers of enlightenment. Seeking only further service with enlightenment, the hosts of keians travel far and wide to foster understanding and illuminate thought. Those who embrace their cause are welcomed with open arms, while those who are not wise enough to see the benefits of enlightenment are treated as unfortunate souls who need only some focused guidance.
A typical keian stands roughly 6 and a half feet tall and weighs around 200 pounds. While keians are capable of flight, they do not actually have physical wings, instead using psionic energy which they manipulate to resemble wings. With skin tones ranging from pale white to dark blue, a keian gives off an aura of peace, making those close by stop and pause in introspection.
Keians are able to speak any language, including secret languages, as their thirst for knowledge and understanding allows their minds to quickly grasp any language without having heard or seen it before.
Keians gain a +10 racial bonus to the DC of any aversion power they manifest against either combat or conflict.
Combat
Keians are not aggressive by nature. A typical keian would prefer to discuss any conflict, understand the reasons that each party is upset, and then come to a mutually beneficial understanding. Unfortunately, this course of action is not always available. Keians will rely on their manifesting ability if they are forced into combat.
Aura of Peace (Su): The presence of a keian typically causes those around it to be less aggressive and combative.
The keian is treated as perpetually emanating the soothing aura power, with a Will DC 22 to negate.
Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection
bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the keian. Otherwise, it functions
as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level
equals the keian’s HD). This aura can be dispelled, but the keian can create it again as a free action on its next turn.
(The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in the keian’s statistics block.)
Psi-like abilities: At will – empathy, mindlink
Psionics: Keians can manifest powers as a 15th level seer. In addition, they have access to the Mind node.
Typical Seer Powers (Save DC 16 + power level): 1 - call to mind, disable, inertial armor, mindlink, precognition, 2 - bestow power, clairvoyant sense, commune, detect hostile intent, 3 - dispel psionics, energy retort, idle vigilance, touchsight, 4 - correspond, psionic divination, psychic reformation, trace teleport, 5 - power resistance, psionic plane shift, psionic true seeing, tower of iron will, 6 - aura alteration, co-opt concentration, psionic contingency, 7 - evade burst, mind blank, personal, psionic moment of prescience, 8 - hypercognition
Regeneration: A keian takes lethal damage from evil-aligned weapons and from powers and effects with the evil descriptor.
