Now, I take no credit for this, it all goes to whoever has wrote this article, but I'll paste the relevant parts. http://locksmyth.alchemyx.com/index.php?blog=1&p=32&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Based on the anime Elfen Lied this race is a sub-type of human, born of human parents.
This race is called the Diclonius, they are physiologically different to humans in a small number of ways. Most notably from a physical stance they have ‘cat-ear’ horns that protrude from their skulls. Their brains contains a significantly larger pineal gland, this provides several benefits, they can detect other Diclonius over short distances and have several invisible appendages, called vectors.
These vectors or arms are ethereal in nature, they can be made partly of whole physical at will and are always invisible.
DICLONIUS RACIAL TRAITS
+2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, -2 Strength
Medium: As Medium creatures, Diclonius have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Base land speed is 30 feet.
Power resistance 10 + hit die
Weapon Proficiency: Diclonii are proficient with any one martial weapon of their choice, in addition to those granted by class proficiencies. This weapon must be chosen at 1st level and cannot be changed.
Vectors(Ex). (see description below)
Psyonic Connection(Su): A Diclonius can detect the presence of all other Diclonii within 120ft. They also know the attitude the other Diclonius/Diclonii has towards them.
Automatic Languages: Common. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).
Favored Classes: The favoured class of Diclonii is either psion or psychic warrior class. This choice must be made at 1st level and cannot be changed.
- Vectors(Ex): A Diclonius has a number of vectors equal to her wisdom modifier. The length of a vector is equal to her intelligence modifier x 5 feet (minimum 5ft maximum 50ft). Vectors may be used in any situation where a regular limb may be used. When using a vector to perform an action the player must use their intelligence instead of strength and wisdom instead of dexterity. For Example if a Diclonius uses their vectors in combat their intelligence modifier is used instead of their strength for attack bonuses and damage, similarly when using a strength based skill the player may use their vectors and thus use their intelligence instead of their strength. For dexterity based skills that use any limb vectors can used and the check is performed using her Wisdom modifier. This bonus also applies to saves and AC, but, only if they have two or more vectors idle (or being used defensively).
Vector Properties and Abilities:
Natural Weapons: Vectors are a natural weapon and do a d6 + int mod. The critical hit range is x3. Much like a monk’s unarmed attack vectors are treated both as manufactured weapons and natural weapons for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
Immaterial: Vectors are mental force. They are unaffected by magic or psionic effect included dispelling and dead power zones. A vector can extend through solid objects but cannot pass through force effects. Vectors are not ethereal and do not have a miss chance when striking a physical object. Vectors are undetectable by any ordinary or magical means. However in combat opponents are never denied their dex bonus to AC unless they would ordinary be denied that bonus.
AC bonus: Any vector not currently used in combat provides a +1 misc bonus to AC. If a character has more then two idle or defensive vectors their dexterity bonus to AC is replaced by their wisdom bonus in addition to the above AC bonus.
Bonus Feat: Multiattack. Diclonii with 2 or more vectors gain this feat for free.
Level Adjustment: +2
--Personally I don't agree with the level adjustment, but at the same time I don't know what it should be, what do you all think?
