Lashunta
The following altered race statistics should be used for characters built for the Thascien campaign setting:
Lashunta are almost universally intelligent and eager to learn. As a result, lashunta gain a +2 bonus to Intelligence.
Sexual Dimorphism: Male and female lashunta have very different body and personality types, more so than most humanoid species. Male lashunta are muscular (+2 Strength) and often brash and unobservant (–2 Wisdom). Female lashunta, though beautiful and commanding (+2 Charisma), lack the males’ rugged builds (–2 Constitution).
Size: Lashunta are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Base Speed: Lashunta have a base speed of 30 feet. Languages: Lashunta begin play speaking fluent Aelven and conversant Sylvan. Knowledgeable: A lashunta gains a +2 racial bonus to any one Knowledge skill.

Psychic Attunement: Lashunta gain Psychic Sensitivity as a bonus feat.
Weapon Familiarity: Lashunta are proficient with glaives and kukris and treat any weapon with the word “elven” or "lashunta" in its name as a martial weapon.
Hatred: Lashunta gain a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against aberrations because of their special training against these hated foes.
Lashunta Magic: A lashunta possessing an Intelligence score of 11 or higher gains the following spell-like abilities: At will–daze, mage hand; 1/day–detect thoughts. The caster level for these effects is equal to the lashunta’s class levels.
Limited Telepathy: A lashunta is able to mentally communicate with any creature within 30 feet with whom she shares a language. Otherwise this ability is identical to the telepathy ability.
Insidious Telepathy: Some lashunta have a knack for manipulating the minds of those they communicate with telepathically. They gain a +1 racial bonus on Charisma-based skill checks to influence any creature with whom they are telepathically communicating. If a lashunta telepathically issues a command to a charmed or dominated creature, she gains a +1 racial bonus on Charisma checks to compel the creature to follow that order. This racial trait replaces lashunta magic. Unusual Development: A rare few lashunta children take on the normal characteristics of the opposite gender as they reach adolescence, growing into tall and eloquent males or brawny and short females in a reversal of standard lashunta sexual dimorphism. While exceedingly uncommon, these individuals are generally treated with acceptance, and often choose to follow the social norms of the gender they share aptitudes with. They gain the ability score bonus and penalty of the opposite gender, rather than their own. This racial trait replaces the lashunta's usual racial ability score modifiers. Psychic Sorcery: While magecraft is shunned throughout most of Thascien, along the embattled borders of Aelinar, those who know its dangers most are hard pressed to turn down a possible weapon. There, lashunta who manifest particularly strong innate magic are quietly trained in its use, at the cost of some of their time practicing for martial warfare. Lashunta with the Psychic bloodline class ability treat their Charisma score as 2 points higher for all class abilities in the class granting the bloodline. This racial trait replaces weapon familiarity and hatred. Numb Mind: Rarely, a lashunta loses the use of her innate psychic magic, either from birth or following particularly strong trauma. Such lashunta are treated with sympathy, but often struggle to maintain a place in society, and instead try to gain the esteem of others through mundane skill and knowledge. Lashunta with this trait gain 1 additional skill rank per level, and gain Skill Focus (any Knowledge) as a bonus feat. This racial trait replaces telepathy, psychic attunement, and lashunta magic. Forest Warrior: All lashunta are trained to fend off enemies from their homeland, but some are particularly talented at turning the terrain to their advantage. Lashunta with this trait can move through natural difficult terrain at their normal speed; magically altered terrain affects them normally. This racial trait replaces knowledgeable and psychic attunement.
