Barathu Heritages

You've communed with the cosmic melody of Liavara and it changed you. You struggle to express the fragments of memory and sensation you recall from the experience, except through singing and similar psychic emanations. Choose one cantrip from the occult spell list. By weaving magic into your song, you can cast this spell as an occult innate spell at will. A cantrip is heightened to a spell rank equal to half your level rounded up.

Your magic is adaptable, and you can channel your music to enhance it. Once per day, you can meditate on your cosmic song to change the cantrip you've chosen to a different cantrip from the occult spell list. This is a 10-minute activity that has the concentrate trait.

You're young and inexperienced compared to other barathus, with an individualistic worldview likely shaped by your interactions with other cultures. You have yet to see the full breadth of the cosmos and haven't adapted yourself to overcome its many threats or understand its various life-forms. Your form is highly mutable, as you haven't yet chosen to specialize or merge with other barathus. You're Small instead of Medium. You gain Quick Squeeze as a bonus feat. Additionally, you gain resistance to precision damage equal to half your level (minimum 1).

Your body is a living laboratory, allowing you to ingest raw materials and refine them into useful medicines and other products. You become trained in Crafting (or another skill of your choice if you're already trained in Crafting) and gain the Serum Crafting feat.

You're a unique entity formed from the constant union of two or more barathus who enjoy the act of combination so much that they chose not to return to isolation as their former selves. You're Large instead of Medium. You gain 10 Hit Points from your ancestry instead of 8, and you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saving throws against emotion effects.

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.
