Average Life Span: 300 years.

Alignment: Effectively scrupulous.

Powers: The creatures offers numerous sensory capacities, mainly of a seeing type.

• The host can see equivalent to Advanced Thermal.
• The host can turn on an organic vision. In this scenario, all organics are outlined in green (can see through some illusion magic and such) and the background is either regular or transparent.
• The host can see alignments. In this case, no alignments (inanimate objects) are regularly colored, good characters gain a sort of white tint, selfish characters get a red tint, and evil characters get a dark tint.
• The host can see emotions. Anger is red, melancholy is blue, cheerfulness is orange, calmness is green, and so on. Different shades suggest mixes; a warrior whose anger only burns on the inside and is contrasted with a terrifying calmness will have a red-green tint, for instance.
• The host can see auras at no I.S.P. cost.
• The host can see the invisible and astral beings at no I.S.P. cost.
• The host can activate 360 degree vision. In this case, add +2 to initiative, +2 to parry and dodge, but -2 to strike and -20% to strike; 360 degree vision is confusing.
• The host can "see" energy of all types: mystic, chi, psionic, or technological. The more the energy, the more emanations it gives off; things are given a sort of mirage-like wave appearance.
• The host can see through shapechangers and see their true form. The shapechanger does get a saving throw.
• The character may do a light optic blast: 1D6+4 M.D. per 5 levels. Blasts are limited to 20 per level per day.
• The host has typical polarized, infrared and UV vision.
• The host can see the future about 2 or 3 second ahead of time; this offers a +5 on initiative, +3 to parry and dodge, but -3 to strike and -30% to skills requiring total attention. This is a similar confusion to 360 degree vision.
• The host may close his eyes and sort of magically "move" them (not really, but the point of view is the same) to a different point; anywhere he can see.
• The host can, at will, make his eyes glow like searchlights.

Bonuses: +2 to strike.
