Description Skepsials appear to be anthropomorphic figures with grey-toned skin, patches of stone on their bodies, and fungal scrub for hair. Their eyes are slate grey. When they stretch out their arms, an image of a tentacled creature appears around them.
Procreation With each other.
Esoterica All have psionics. One in five million have heart or soul magic. All have soulbonding. Mind and body magic are possible. Void is possible. Faith is not uncommon. Other esoterica is possible.
Special Powers Skepsials can bond their minds to anything, permanently, and they can control weaker people with their voices. They have a communal bond connecting their hearts and minds, and they are resistant to disease. They can elongate their arms, and when they do, the arms become tentacles and their tentacle-auras appear. Their tentacle-aura determines what kind of mind they are able to merge with. If they merge with a mind, they become permanently part of the communal soul of the race.

Skepsials can also sense thoughts. If they remain in one area long enough, they will instinctively find another mind to merge with--they call this "unifying."
Weaknesses Counter psionics.
Culture Skepsials seek to bond minds with all manner of beings to learn as much as they can.
