Shienao, Scalebound
Descendants of shienao bred in service to Tianten, the Reaper, and male yuenjin Incarnate. They were originally part of a notorious death cult that considered slaying ‘the unclean’ its sacred duty (with ‘unclean’ steadily becoming a broader and broader category over time) but even centuries after its collapse pockets of them remain, although thankfully few of them keep to the beliefs that forced others to act in wiping out that cult: that everyone who did not worship Tianten was unclean.
• Greater Precognition: Scalebound shienao gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC. This racial trait replaces Acrobat.
• Swordtrained: Scalebound shienao are trained in the art of swordplay to an even greater extent than other Shienao. As a result, they are automatically proficient with all sword-like weapons (including but not limited to bastard swords, daggers, alfur curve blades, falchions, greatswords, kukris, longswords, punching daggers, rapiers, scimitars, short swords, and two-bladed swords), subject to DM interpretation. This racial trait replaces Weapon Familiarity and Precognition.
