Tactics.
Tolerate Thirst (Ex): Hek are toughened to the rigors of waste life. They need to drink only one-quarter the amount of water per day that humanoids of their size normally require and have a +4 racial bonus on Constitution checks or Fortitude saves to resist harmful effects from dehydration.
Water Sense (Su): Hek have an innate ability to sense water, allowing them to locate sources of water and spells with the Water descriptor. Doing this requires a DC 15 Survival check. They can detect water sources up to a range of 1 mile and Water spells up to a range of 5 miles. This sense can penetrate barriers, but is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, 3 feet of wood, or 10 feet of dirt or sand.
