Elazurani

Elazurani are azurins that undergo the ritual to become an elan. It was previously thought that only a pure-blooded human could undertake the ritual to become an elan. Perhaps azurins have just enough human ancestery to qualify or perhaps their incarnum blood changes the ritual in some way. In any case, an azurin who has had the ritual performed on them becomes much more powerful than a normal elan.

Elazurani are exceedingly rare in normal elan society, as the very act of creating one is a taboo. Certain groups however, try to break tradition by expanding the elan society itself to other races. Currently, their only success have been the elazurani.

Racial Traits

Elazurani

Con +2, Int +2, Wis +2

Aberration: Elazurani are not subject to spells or effects that affect humanoids only, such as charm person or dominate person.

Elazurani gain the (Incarnum) subtype

Elazurani gain the (Psionic) subtype

Medium: As Medium creatures, Elazurani have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Elazurani base land speed is 30ft

Low-Light Vision: Elazurani, unlike most aberrations, do not have darkvision. However, they do have low-light vision.

Naturally Psionic: Elazurani gain 4 bonus power points at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.

Essentia Pool: An Elazurani's essentia pool is permanently increased by 2. If they doon'thave an essentia pool, this trait grants them one with a single point of essentia.

Improved Essentia Capacity: An Elazurani's essentia capacity for any essentia outlet is improved by 1 (this includes soulmelds, feats, and magic items).

Improved Manifester Level: An Elazurani's manifester level improves by 1. This only applies if they take a level in a psionic class.

Resistance (Su): Elazurani can use psionic energy to increase their resistance to various forms of attack. As an immediate action, an elazurani can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of their next action.

Resilience (Su): When an elazurani takes damage, they can spend power points to reduce its severity. As an immediate action, they can reduce the damage they are about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point they spend.

Repletion (Su): An elazurani can sustain their body without need of food or water. If they spend 1 power point, an elazurani does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.

Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).

Favored Class: Soulsword

I can't speak to the Incarnum side of things, but I fully expect any psionic race with a +2 Level Adjustment to at least get 1 extra PP per HD (a la Kalashtar, an LA +0 race), in addition to the 4 extra starting points an Elan has. You're suffering a huge longevity drop compared to LA +0 races doing any psionic class.

I would recommend that it only trigger on a psionic class, however, since the Elan has ways to use their power points without it and 24 uses of Resistance a day is a pretty nice deal for classes that don't use swift actions very much.

You should probably specify if the Elazurani can take Elan specific racial feats etc.

Thanks for the insight, noted. I'll be updating this few days later.
