Added DiffLines:
* VampiricDraining: At 5th level Evolutionists gain a touch attack called Evolution Drain that temporarily sickens the target and grants the Evolutionist extra Evolution Points. At 11th level it gets upgraded to Evolution Drinker, which allows them to Drain after a critical hit with their Adaptive Strike.

!!Interstellar Species
[[folder: Evolutionist]]
A mutative being in pursuit of physical perfection through cybernetics, magic, genetic engineering, or undeath. The Evolutionist is a light but highly adaptable combatant capable of creating weapons from their own flesh who becomes more powerful the longer combat lasts. Evolutionists grow to fill one of several ''Niches'', including:
** ''Eldritch'': Magical energy flows through their veins as they metamorphose into a fantastical being. But the mundane becomes increasingly harmful to them as they change.
** ''[[{{Cyborg}} Mechanized]]'': The flesh is weak, when stressed their body becomes partially mechanical.
** ''Sepulchral'': Empowered by unliving energies, but must be careful not to succumb to the bloodlust of the undead.
** ''[[BioAugmentation Vital]]'': A riot of biological potential, driven by instinct but heals quickly.
----
* AntiMagic: Eldritch Evolutionists have spell resistance while they have Mutation Points, but they can also enhance the spells of their allies.
* FragileSpeedster: Depends on the adaptations they choose, but by default they have only median hit points and stamina and are only proficient with light armor and have a speed bonus that increases with their MP.
* SquishyWizard: Eldritch Evolutionists take extra damage from non-magical attacks as long as they have mutation points.
* {{Transhuman}}: Or trans-whatever species they are, one of their main features is that they get a discount on augmentations of one type determined by their niche. By level 20 they no longer count as their original creature type.

[[folder: Precog]]
With powers over the temporal forces of the universe and the ability to nudge fate to their favor, Precogs mix in magical spells with a proficiency in weaponry that makes them able to stand their ground on the battlefield. Their ''Anchors'', how they interact with time, are:
** ''Chronomancy'': Empowered by an otherplaner force, this anchor allows them to slow down enemies and speed up their own spellcasting.
** ''Dimension of Time'': Empowered by the Dimension of Time itself, this anchor allows the Precog to unfetter both objects and themselves from the shackles of time.
** ''Doomed Future'': Empowered by visions of a terrible future, this anchor gives more chances of survival by more chances of changing fate and toughing against terrible effects.
** ''Fragmented Past'': Empowered by a moment in their history that they realize that really shouldn't have been, this anchor allows them to stay in the fight and redirect missed attacks.
** ''The Gap'': Empowered by the mysterious event known as The Gap, this anchor smudges electronical recordings and even obscures sapient memories.
** ''Timewarped'': Empowered by time-altering technology, this anchor can regain energy from spent batteries and can transport the Precog into a safe shelter far into the future.
----
* MagicKnight: Since their key ability score is actually ''Dexterity'' and they start out with their choice of longarms, sniper rifle, or advanced melee training, Precogs are usually more capable in combat than the other spellcasters.
* TimeMaster: Their foremost trait is their ability to manipulate time, starting with the power to change a die roll from one they've already rolled.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: All Precogs start with the ability to swap out a dice roll with another they rolled at the start of the day.

[[folder: Nanocyte]]
With nanites infusing their whole body, nanocytes are able to manipulate these machines in order to wreck devistation on the battlefield, solve obstacles off the battlefield, and have a tech item for any and every problem. While every nanocyte can configure their nanites into a ''sheathe'', ''gear'', or ''cloud'' array, the specializations they can take are:
** ''Discorporation'': With their nanites breaking down and reforming their body, these nanocytes can meld into a flexible series of forms.
** ''Infestation'': These nanocytes infest their foes with their nanites, eating them alive from the inside.
** ''Obliteration'': Pushing weapons formed by their nanites to their limit, these nanocytes are able to devistate anything that lies in their path.
** ''Redirection'': With forceful and energetic nanites, these nanocytes are able to push and redirect objects to gain an edge in combat.
** ''Regeneration'': With nanites that can stitch together the worst of wounds, these nanocytes are able to stay in the fight longer, and eventually make sure that their friends can do so too.
----
* JackOfAllTrades: One of the Nanocytes strengths is their flexibility. With their choice of arrays, pick of weapons from their gear array, and certain knacks, Nanocytes are easily able to fill out a party's weaknesses and/or switch their combat style on the fly. The only downside is that, compared to the Operative, they're more focused on combat abilities than skills.
* MadeOfIron: [[IncrediblyLamePun Pun aside]], having Constitution as their key ability score means that a nanocyte is hard to bring down. Paired with their high stamina and health, and the ability to spend a nanite surge to gain resistance to incoming damage, nanocytes are often able to bring down enemies by sheer attrition.
* {{Nanomachines}}: The bread, butter, and three-meal course for the nanocyte, as being infested with them (either intentionally or accidentally) allows them to come up with all sort of useful abilities.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Their gear array allows them to literally form a weapon from nanites in midair, already loaded (if the nanocyte has the appropriate ammo on their person, of course).
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: ''Discorporation'' nanocytes obtain new forms to transform into, from a nanite blob to a nanite smoke cloud.

Mechanics come in two flavors: those who built a robotic drone and those who augment themselves with technology in the form of an exocortex. The former has a potent sidekick capable of providing additional fire support, scouting ahead, and a number of other uses depending on how they're specialized. The latter gets increased combat and hacking capabilities as their exocortex becomes more sophisticated. In the party, they're the one to turn to if you need something hacked, hotwired, or cobbled together.

** ''Drone'': Partying along with a drone that they've constructed themselves, these mechanics can choose on whether it focuses on being a combat drone, a stealth drone, or a flying hover drone as its chassis.
** ''Exocortex'': Implanting an advanced artificial processor into their brains, these mechanics are proficient in longarms, and have a host of abilities to help them use their gone as well as enhance their mind.
** ''Experimental Armor Prototype'': Focuses on buffing up an enhancing a singular piece of armor well beyond what normal protective gear can do, creating powerful armor that can be tweaked to their own needs.
** ''Experimental Weapon Prototype'': Much like the Armor Prototype, though with a singular weapon instead; gaining proficiency in it, this mechanic can double its ammo capacity, and can even compact it down to use in one hand, among other abilities.
