No one is sure how they came into being since the zetetic are sexless. Zetetic-touched areless powerful than their progenitors but they are still highly dangerous aberrations with the same motivations and goals as true zetetic. Unlike a true zetetic, these aberrations have lower limbs that allow them to walk. They can still fly, but they are less precise in the air than a true zetetic.Zetetic-touched speak Ignan and Jinn. They are able to learn almost any language.CombatZetetic-touched are warriors first and foremost. Since they lack some of the special abilities of a true zetetic, they tend to fight with weapons and their natural attacks first. Those that do feel pulled towards the arcane tend to become sorcerers. Zetetic-touched are less likely to be loners than the zetetic, and it isn't unusual to encounter them in significant numbers. More than twice of their progenitors.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a zetetic-touched must hit with its tail attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can begin to constrict as well as make the grappled foe face a cumulative numbing effect (see below). The zetetic-touched can use its tail to grapple and hold foes without being considered grappling itself (it does not lose its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class.)Constrict (Ex): When a zetetic-touched establishes a hold with its tail, it wraps the tail around its foe. The  zetetic-touched inflicts 1d6+5 points of damage each round as it holds a foe, as well as automatically inflicting its numbing effect each round.Numbing Effect (Su): Any living creature not immune to paralysis that is touched by the  zetetic-touched's tail feels its muscles relax and lose strength and feeling. The result is a -1 penalty to attack and damage rolls, Strength and Dexterity checks, and Reflex saves. This numbness lasts for 3 rounds. If the tail strikes a creature more than once, the numbing effect is cumulative. Thus, a character struck twice suffers a -2 penalty, and one struck three times suffers a -3 penalty. Characters grappled by the tail suffer the cumulative penalty each round they remain grabbed.Skills (Ex): All zetetic-touched gain a +5 racial bonus to the Knowledge (geography), Knowledge (history), and Knowledge (religion) skills.Zetetic-touched Racial Traits• +3 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma.• Medium-size.
