Elan
Elans are made, not born. Living humans are selected from a pool of applicants by a council of elan, and those chosen undergo a secret psionic ritual, transforming them and giving them a new psionically-charged existence. For some arcane reason only humans are able to undergo the process, and while they retain their basic memories and personality, on the whole they become a completely new person. Physically they still keep their old appearance, but they are no longer subject to aging, becoming effectively immortal. They also no longer require sleep, instead meditating in a fashion similar to the elven reverie.
Elan Ability Adjustments: -2 Cha.
Favored Class (Psion): A multiclass elan's psion class does not count when determining whether he suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing.
Special Abilities:
- 30' base speed
- Naturally Psionic: Elans gain 2 free power points at first level.
- Resistance: Elans can spend 1 power point to give them a +4 to all saving throws until the next round as a free action.
- Resilience: Elans can spend power points to protect themselves from damage. For each power point spent in this way, they gain 2 temporary hit points, all of which fade after 1 round.
- Aberration: Elans are considered Aberrations for the purpose of spells.
