Tekchakak (Character Kit)

Tekchakak (Pack Psionicist)
'' iJ
The tekchakak is devoted to the preservation and prosperity of clutch and pack. These psionicists use their abilities to support their clutchmates and packmates, helping to find prey and to defend compatriots against raiders and predators. Within a thri-kreen pack, the tekchakak offers advice, guidance, and
teaching in addition to active support through his or her psionic abilities.
Character Class: Only a chakak (psionicist) can take the lekchakak kit. Tekchakak are not restricted to a particular discipline, though most have Telepathy or Clairsentience as a primary discipline, and Psychometabolism as a secondary discipline.
Role: Tekchakak almost always have their chitin decorated in some manner, either through painting or chitinworking. The symbols used make them recognizable among kreen, but humanoids generally cannot tell the difference between the markings of a Tekchakak and any other kreen (a successful use of the heraldry nonweapon proficiency might allow a non-kreen character to recognize some differences).
The Tekchakak is a teacher, an advisor, and a hard worker. The individual serves his or her clutch in whatever way necessary to insure the group's survival and good fortune. The Tekchakak uses psionic abilities to offer advice to the leader, to help any member of the clutch or pack, and in defense of the pack. The most common Psychometabolic abilities developed are those related to healing or ability-sharing.
A Tekchakak usually belongs to a hunting pack, sometimes to a special pack, and occasionally to a raiding pack. Though the Tekchakak is usually disinclined to leave the home pack, the presence of other Tekchakak might free one to seek adventure. These thri-kreen are more anxious than the average specimen of their race to become part of a clutch, so that they might have someone to help.
Weapon Proficiencies: The Tekchakak is initially limited to the weapons of the thri-kreen pack, unless the pack has had extensive contact with other beings, Any thri-kreen weapon is allowed, but the gythka is most often preferred.
Nonweapon Proficiencies: The proficiencies for the 'Tekchakak are as follows.
* Bonus Proficiencies: Psionic detection, hunting.
* Required Proficiencies: Water find.
* Recommended: Animal lore, artistic ability, chitinworking, healing, psioncraft (rare), survival.
* Barred: Spellcraft, swimming (never available). Equipment: The Tekchakak is limited to standard thri-kreen
equipment. Even after contact with other cultures, traditional equipment is preferred.
Special Benefits: Besides the Tekchakak's bonus proficiencies, the character receives special modifiers when using the Telepathic devotion contact. Normally a thri-kreen has great penalties when trying to contact non-insect lifeforms psionically. The Tekchakak receives the listed penalties (based on life order) instead of those given in Chapter Three.

Special Hindrances: Because a Tekchakak can be recognized by his or her decorations, the character is often a primary target of opponents. Also, no matter what the character's power level is, psionicists from other races regard the character with disdain, viewing the Tekchakak as using psionics "improperly."
Wealth Options: The Tekchakak receives the standard amount of wealth for a psionicist and forfeits any remaining after buying equipment
