• +2 Charisma, -2 Strength: Lidaem are naturally alluring creatures, but their lithe frames are not very strong.
• Humanoid (Lidaem).
• Medium: As Medium creatures, lidaems have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Lidaem base land speed is 30 feet.
• Naturally Psionic: A lidaem gains 1 bonus power point at 1st level. This benefit does not grant the ability to manifest powers unless she gains the ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.
• Neural Charge (Su): Once per day, a lidaem can imbue a piercing weapon with a powerful neural charge. The charge is released on her next successful attack with the weapon. The creature struck must make a successful Fortitude save. On a failed save, intense pain wracks the affected creature’s body. The creature is shaken for a number of rounds equal to 1d4 + lidaem character level. The creature suffers a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. The effects of multiple neural charges stack. The DC is equal to 10 + lidaem character level + Charisma modifier.
• Piercing Shriek (Su): Once per day, a lidaem is able to utter a shriek so piercing that it affects the concentration of all nearby creatures. All creatures within a 15-foot radius able to hear the shriek must make a successful Will save. If a creature fails its save, it incurs a penalty equal to the lidaem’s character level + Charisma modifier (minimum 1) on its next attack roll, skill check, save, or ability check. The DC is equal to 5 + ½ lidaem character level + Charisma modifier. The effect lasts for 1 minute.
• Expert Forger (Ex): Lidaem learn to scribe complex shapes from the time they are born. As a result, all lidaem receive a +2 bonus on Forgery checks.
• Natural Diplomat (Ex): Lidaem are indoctrinated in the manipulation of political systems from birth. This gives all lidaem a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks.
• Automatic Languages: Auran, Common and Lidaem.
• Bonus Languages: Any humanoid.
• Favored Class: Wilder. A multiclass lidaem’s wilder class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty when multiclassing.
• Level Adjustment: +0.
