Species Abilities

Subtle Expressions: A Glahn has a -1 bonus to Deception checks.

Prejudice: A Glahn hero must choose either mutations or cyber-gear as the object of his prejudice. (Supporting Cast Glahn sometimes have a prejudice against all non-Glahn, which would be a severe disadvantage to a hero.) Any action the Glahn attempts that involves giving or accepting assistance, or interacting with an individual who has mutations or cyber-gear (depending on the form of prejudice) suffers a +1 penalty. From 6th level onwards, a Glahn may remove this penalty by paying 4 Skill Points.
