Kasatha

Exiles from an arid world circling a red star, modern kasathas have no idea how they left their home or how to return, but they keep searching for a way back. A clannish and secretive people, they have a matriarchal society, but other races have difficulty recognizing any physical difference between females and males. Kasathas keep their mouths hidden behind clothing, and don't remove this clothing in the presence of other races. They are omnivores, but prefer meat and salty foods.

Upon reaching adulthood, many kasathas leave their clans to search the world for adventure, treasure, and ways to return to their homeworld.

Kasathas are defined by their class levels—they do not possess racial Hit Dice. They have the following racial traits.

Jumper — A kasatha is always considered to have a running start when attempting Acrobatics checks to jump.
