Batesian

Batesians are a humanoid race in the Vistelo system. Extremely humanoid. Though at first glance they are almost identical to humans, batesians are actually quite distantly related, and are thought to have evolved a human-like shape to deter predators.
==Biology and Anatomy==
Batesians are, despite appearances, an insectoid race; what appears to be the goggles commonly worn among humans are, in fact, their eyes, and their segmented shells are mostly concealed beneath clothing. Their shells come in all ranges of human skin tones, and, similar to humans, have full heads of hair, though their hair is sensory.
Though a batesian's primary line of defense against aggression is their humanoid appearance, they do have a secondary line of defense in the form of a scalding chemical spray, ejected through the mouth.

==Racial Traits==
===3.5e/Pathfinder===
Batesians are Medium race, incurring no benefits or penalties thereof. A batesian may opt for +2 Cha -2 Wis or +2 Dex -2 Str.
Chemical Breath: Once per combat, a batesian character may spray a noxious chemical mixture from their mouths in a 15 ft. cone. All creatures within the cone must make a Fort save against a DC equal to 10+user level or take 1d4 acid damage. At level 10, a failed Fort save also blinds the affected creature for 1d4 rounds.
Mimicry: A batesian character may take 10 on Disguise checks to pass as a human, and does not take the usual penalty for disguising as another race while doing so. When successfully disguised, they gain a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks against human characters and a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks against non-human characters.
Wasteland Survivor: Batesian characters gain +2 Survival and +1 Heal.
