Opinions on Synads [3.5]

[Scarey Nerd]

As the title says, what do you guys think of Synads from CPsi?

[Thrice Dead Cat]

Their pseudo extra swift actions are kind of nice. Other than that, I can't recall anything else about them.

[Cog]

Three extra powers/day at first level does a fair bit for your endurance, too.

[FMArthur]

The main draw, Multitask, is only available once per day, or twice with a feat. I don't really think it's worth it. I wouldn't choose a race for abilities that see use that infrequently.

I miss the old 1E Snyads.

Snyads (also called pesties) live in small passages adjoining dungeon corridors. The entrances to these tunnels are small and usually well concealed behind piles of loose stone, making them very difficult to detect.
The snyad is a cousin of the mite (q.v.) and often cooperate with them to trap prey. The trap making skills of the mite combined with the speed of the pestie make for quite a formidable team.
Snyads appear as small 2-foot tall humanoids, brown in color. They have long pointed ears and large bulbous noses. Their arms are long and spindly.
Snyads do not speak, but seem to be able to understand each other through use of body language.
