What about something like:XenokinXenokin are a race born of blood from beyond the known world.Appearance: Xenokin look overall humanoid, but each has features that make them distinctly alien. Roll on the following table (or choose) for your alien feature:Alien Features1) One single eye, with vertical lids, in the center of the forehead.2) A lamprey-like mouth surrounded by writhing tentacles.3) Shimmering fish scales for skin.4) A wide mouth full of sharp teeth.5) Long, boneless limbs ending in tentacle-like fingers.6) Skin the color of a night sky, in which glimmers distant stars.Xenokin FeaturesAbility Score Improvement: Choose +2 / +1Alien Mind: Other creatures have a difficult time understanding the workings of your mind.
