Special Skills:
Diffusion: (Used in place of Strengthto resist damage.) When
a Filar-Nitzan is hit by an energy weapon of any kind or by
some other element that may cause injury (such as open
flame), the character rolls his diffusionskill when calculating
damage. The diffusionskill requires six times the normal
Character Point to increase; specializations cost three times
the normal cost. Example: to improve diffusionfrom 2D to
2D+1 would require 12 Character Points instead of two; to
improve diffusion: blasterfrom 2D to 2D+1 would require six
Character Points instead of one.
Specializations: Against any damage element (blaster fire,
strong electricity, large quantities of other gases, open
flame, etc.).
Aversion: (Used in place of dodge.) To avoid blaster fire and
other such potentially harmful things, the Filar-Nitzan have
an aversion ability, a near-equivalent to dodge. This skill
allows them to change their shapes quickly enough to often
avoid melee weapons and occasionally blaster fire without
having to move entirely out of the way. Aversion requires

double the normal Character Point cost to increase.
Example: to improve aversion from 2D to 2D+1 would take
four Character Points instead of two; to improve aversion:
blaster from 2D to 2D+1 would take two Character Points
instead of only one.
Specializations: against nearly any weapon (melee,
lightsaber, blaster, firearms,etc.) at the gamemaster’s
discretion.
Special Abilities:
Gaseous: As non-solid beings, the Filar-Nitzan posses many
of the qualities of normal gasses: they can enter normally
secure areas, and are nearly impervious to “normal” forms
of attack. Because of their nature, the Filar-Nitzan receive a
+2D bonus to sneak rolls. The primary disadvantage is that
they have considerable difficulty generating enough mass in
a given portion of their body to grasp any physical object.
All manipulations of physical objects (blaster, grenade, etc.)
suffer a +15 difficulty modifier.
Story Factors:
Reputation: Filar-Nitzan are a nearly unknown species,
considered to be a myth even more so than the Defel
“wraiths.” Often referred to as “cloud demons” or “gas
devils,” the Filar-Nitzan are a frightening species when
encountered.
Move: 4/8 (floating)
Size: 0.3-2.1 square meters (dependent upon preferred density)
Gamemaster Notes: It is strongly recommended that players not be allowed to play Filar-Nitzan characters.
