Special Abilities

Overcharging Modulation (Ex) Hrin can spend 1 point of Resolve to tweak a weapon wielded as a move action, or a weapon wielded by another creature as a standard action. The weapon gains +1 enhancement bonus to its next attack roll and it will deal 1d6 points of bonus damage with its next attack.

Scientific Expertise (Ex) Hrin is a highly competent scientist, adding 1d6 to each of their Life Science and Physical Science checks, as long as they have at least 1 point of Resolve.


Hrin P'Karmitch is a scientist belonging to a poorly known race that inhabits isolated cluster. Unlike their recluse kin, Hrin came to the known space when an accidental discovery led them to believe they hold a key (or rather a series of equations) that could prevent some great incoming calamity that would consume great number of sapient lives. Regretfully, their grasp of local languages is incomplete, especially when it comes to advanced physics, preventing sharing their warning in meaningful way. For this purpose, Hrin seeks local scientists that could aid in translation of their equations into local systems, identify the threat, and prevent it, or at least mitigate its results.

Strangely, a number of unlikely accidents start to pile in Hrin's proximity, though the scientist wasn't harmed by any of them, yet...
