Ysoki Heritages

You or your ancestors grew up on Akiton, scrapping crashed starships or combing junk heaps for treasures. You gain the trained proficiency rank in Crafting and can use Crafting instead of Thievery to Disable a Device. If you're already trained in Crafting, you instead gain the Quick Repair general feat.

You’re accustomed to living in dark places, such as maintenance shafts, asteroids, and on distant moons and planetoids far from the sun. You gain darkvision.

The long snouts that run in your family give you a keener sense of smell than most ysoki. You gain imprecise scent with a range of 30 feet. This means you can use your sense of smell to determine a creature's location. The GM will usually double the range if you're downwind from the creature or halve the range if you're upwind.

In addition, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Perception checks to Seek a creature or object within the range of your scent.

You were born aboard a starship, inside a space station's access corridors, or another similar environment. You gain the trained proficiency rank in Piloting. If you would automatically become trained in Piloting (from your background or class, for example), you become trained in another skill of your choice. If you get a success on a Piloting check to Navigate or Plot Course, you get a critical success instead.

You've adapted to maneuvering in close quarters. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Acrobatics checks to Tumble Through the spaces of Medium or larger enemies, and the presence of an enemy doesn't make the squares difficult terrain.

Your incredibly small bones allow you to easily compress your body and squeeze through gaps, whether it's the space between walls to reach a severed data cable or the ductwork of a space station. You gain the Quick Squeeze feat, even if you aren't trained in Acrobatics. Tight spaces not tight enough to require the Squeeze action aren't difficult terrain for you.

You've returned from the brink of death as a borai— at once both living and undead. You gain the borai and undead trait, in addition to the traits from your ancestry. Unlike other undead, you don't gain void healing. You're healed by vitality effects and damaged by void damage, as if you were a living creature. Likewise, you can be stabilized, healed, and brought back to life as if you were a living creature, save that you always return to life in your normal undead state (as a borai). You gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your ancestry already has low-light vision. You can choose from borai feats and feats from your ancestry whenever you gain an ancestry feat.

You have an innate connection to the Drift. You gain the prismeni trait, in addition to the traits from your ancestry. While you're in the Drift, you can automatically pinpoint the location of Drift beacons, Drift lanes, Drift engines, and other Drift-related technology within a 100-mile radius. If you're Piloting a starship that doesn't have a Drift engine, you can serve as a connection between the Drift and that starship. This is a 1-minute activity that has the concentrate trait, and it allows the starship you're Piloting to enter or exit the Drift. Once within the Drift, the starship travels via conventional thrusters, as normal. When you get a critical failure on a Piloting check to Navigate or Plot Course through the Drift, you get a failure instead. You gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your ancestry already has low-light vision. You can choose from prismeni feats and feats from your ancestry whenever you gain an ancestry feat.
