Special Skills:

Dexterity: Breath Weapon: To use the Rakynn’s special ability of discharging a charge from their static glands, a Rakynn uses the Dexterity: Breath Weapon skill.

Strength: Flight: Rakynn are capable of flight in normal atmospheres. This ability is used by the Strength: Flight skill.

Special Abilities:

Static Glands: Rakynn possess a gland located under their tongues that stores up static electrical particles generated by their flight through normal, Type I atmospheres. This gland can be discharged as a static bolt from the mouth, similar in appearance to Force Lightning. To do this, a Rakynn uses the Dexterity: Breath Weapon skill. At full charge, the Rakynn is capable of generating a bolt with 7D damage, while a half charge does 5D and a quarter charge does 3D damage. The range of this attack is 3-10/75/150 meters. The number of charges a Rakynn can release is dependent on the amount of charge they release with each use. A Rakynn requires one full day to recharge their gland by flying.

Scales: The natural scales of the Rakynn allow them to resist physical damage with a +2D bonus. They receive a +1 against energy-based attacks.

Claws: STR+1D Damage

Tail Attacks: Rakynn trained for combat can use their tail like a blunt weapon. A tail attack does STR+1D damage.

Story Factors:

Benevolent: Due to their closeness with the Jhenn, the Rakynn are very benevolent and will only attack to defend themselves or another.

Force-Sensitivity: Prior to the arrival of the Jhenn on Altara, the Rakynn had never been able to use the Force. Since the Jhenn’s arrival, few Rakynn have been found who could use the Force.
