There are no words for how proud I am of their fourth talent.

Presenting the watery not-quite-yeeks in all their hateful ways. Ideal cursed, excellent psions, and I expect they'd be decent necromancers or celestials too.
-Water Breathing
-Slightly better life/stats than yeek
-A 0% exp penalty, however.

Race/yaech
Cruel Thoughts
Long cooldown, pins target.

Sight of the Way
Gives telepathy out to (TL+3), maxing at 8 without category points.

Vengeful Shadow
You go bump in the night better than they do. Mind/Darkness/Blight/Cold resist and resistpen.

Mortify
You apply one of six fears to each foe adjacent to you, using the higher of spell and mindpower.

Find it here!

Changelog
1.0.4

-Sight of the Way no longer gives you preternatural senses, instead working via telepathy! =D

Yaech are not linked to the Way from what I understand (In fact they are actually rebels/hated by other Yeek because of that, I think?) so that talent doesn't quite make sense. Also, why the fear theme/mortify?

Well, unless I was coding an entire new opening zone for them, I had to tie them in to the yeeks. The playable Yaech are those who are part of the Way. Raised by the Yeeks or having joined them.

I went for fear because they're generally portrayed as cruel, and designing them for Cursed/Doomed gives them a slight separation from Yeeks, who are meant for Psions.

Mild buff to the yaech, to differentiate them from a race I'm working on rn.

Their third talent now provides a buff to cold and blight in addition to darkness and mind. This should allow them a couple more build options without making a single choice virtually necessary for them.

Aaaand sloppily edited some unique (ish) talent icons for them. Apologies to anyone who downloaded 1.01.

Tiny update; their description incorrectly listed their life rating as 10. It is 8 and always has been.

Oh pish. A mere triffle, really. Barely worth mentionning. :lol:

Yeah, I mean, may as well be six, right? Hardly matters! :D
