The buio are a race of warriors who live on the Negative Energy Plane. They are believed to be close relatives of lumi (see Monster Manual III), exhaling darkness instead of light, but they have a neck, unlike their positive counterparts.
Buio's society mirror lumi's; they worship Darkness for its ability to hide the weak from their oppressors. They spend most of their life in shadow and rarely leave their home plane. They make occasional patrols around their cities, looking for unfortunate travelers to help. Undead creatures also sometimes get their hospitality, but it rarely happens.
An average buio stands between 5 and 7 feet in height and weighs 100 to 300 pounds.
Buio speak Common and Lumi.

Combat
A buio usually goes into combat with its morningstar. They prefer to fight in shadow, as their opponents can rarely see as well in it as themselves. Buio clerics favor spells that can directly harm undead creatures, especially the spells that don't rely on positive energy.
Body of darkness (Su). A buio's body is suffused with gloomy negative energy. It is immune to all death spells, magical death effects, energy drain, and any positive energy effect (given that they gain Tomb-Tainted Soul as a bonus feat, they are healed by negative energy effects).
Buio are adapted to live on the Negative Energy Plane. They never take damage or gain negative levels as a result of being in a plane with the negative-dominant energy trait, and thus are never in danger of becoming a wraith when on the Negative Energy Plane. When on a plane with the major negative-dominant energy trait, buio gain 5 hit points for every negative level that the plane would have inflicted on them (though this healing is not converted into temporary hit points if they are at full health).
A buio sheds faint darkness around itself. However, this effect is too weak to give them any in-game benefit.
See in darkness (Su). Buio can see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by a Deeper Darkness spell.
Spell-like abilities. At will— Darkness; 3/day— Inflict Light Wounds (DC 13); 1/day— Death Ward (DC 16). Caster level 3rd.
Skills. A buio has a +4 racial bonus on Bluff checks and a +2 racial bonus on Search and Spot checks.
