Special Abilities:
- Dark Vision: Sheyangs can see in total darkness but suffer from color-blindness, seeing only in shades of gray.
- Because of their unique physiology, Sheyangs can expel flaming gas when given time to prepare. After 5 minutes of preparation, a Sheyang can expel a gout of flame up to once per round for a number of rounds equal to their current number of force points. Once that time is up, the Sheyang must spend another five minutes preparing, regardless of whether they expelled fire during that time or not. The flames may be used as a hurled weapon, targeting an enemy or object up to 10 meters away. Damage for the attack is 7D. When used against an inanimate object, the flames can reach 1,500 degree Kelvin (approximately 1,200 degrees Celsius). If the Sheyang is wounded while preparing or expelling flame, they must make a Difficult Stamina check. If the check fails, the Sheyang takes an amount of damage equal to 9D as an internal explosion racks their body.
- Sheyangs gain +1D to all Stamina rolls
Description: Sheyangs are heavyset reptilians, usually weighing between 80 and 150 kilograms. This gives them a rather ungainly appearance, amplified by their stout limbs and waddle-like walk. Their skin has a thick, amphibious quality and is usually a shade of green or brown, which darkens with age. Sheyangs have no body hair. Their large mouths are full of sharp teeth, giving them a predatory, shark-like appearance. Adults vary between 1.8 and 2.6 meters tall and continue to grow throughout their life span.
