Editing Synad (section)

==PC Stats==
::Aberration: As aberrations, even though they can appear human, synads are not subject to spells or effects that affect only humanoids.
::Medium: Synads have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
::Darkvision out to 60 feet.
::Synad base land speed is 30 feet.
::Naturally Psionic: Synads gain 3 bonus power points at 1st level, one each for the overmind, the collective, and the oracle. This does not grant synads the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.
::Threefold Mind (Su): The threefold synthesis of mind, controlled by the overmind, grants synads an advantage when resisting mental attacks. They gain a +2 bonus on Will saving throws.
::Oracle (Su): The part of a synad's mind known as the oracle grants him a daily precognitive edge. This translates into a +2 insight bonus that the synad can apply at any time to an initiative check, attack roll, or saving throw. In the case of an attack roll or saving throw, the synad can elect to apply the bonus to the roll or save after he determines whether his unmodified roll misses. A synad can apply only one precognitive edge per day.
::Collective (Su): The part of a synad's mind known as the collective allows him to tap into a racial network of knowledge and information. A synad can spend 1 power point as a free action to gain a +2 bonus on any Knowledge or Psicraft check he makes.
::Multitask (Su): A synad's threefold mind can temporarily separate, allowing him to take more than a single mental action during his turn. Once per day, a synad can spend 1 power point to gain a swift action that he can use to take any purely mental action. Examples include manifesting a psionic power or making a Knowledge, Psicraft, or other check requiring only mental cogitation. However, a synad can use his extra mental action to manifest a power only if the normal actions allowed to him during the round do not also involve manifesting a power.
::Automatic Languages: Common and Synad. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic). The portion of a synad's mind known as the collective exposes him to a wide range of languages.
::Favored Class: Any. A multiclass synad's first chosen new class does not count when determining whether he takes an XP penalty for multiclassing.
