SSI-RUUK

Special Abilities

Tail--STR+1D damage.
Claws--STR+2D damage.
Enhanced Senses (Smell)--Ssi-ruuk have a highly developed olfactoy senses, 
They receive +1D to search rolls if the search attempt is scent-hased
(maximum range of 20 meters). In addition Ssi-rruk can tell by scent if a 
human is lying: if the Ssi-ruu makes a moderate Alien Species: Human roll 
(the Ssi-ruu must have the specialization), increase the interrogation 
subject's willpower difficulties by one difficulty level if the Ssi-ruuk 
is actively seeking duplicity.

Poor Vision--Ssi-ruuk have poor vision compared to humans. They suffer a 
-1D penalty for actions involving vision at a range of greater than 50 
meters. (This penalty does not apply for starship or vehicle weapons which 
have a fire control modifier and similar cases where computers or sensors 
negate the limitations of their vision.)

Natural Body Armor--The thick hide and scales of the Ssi-ruu provides +2D 
against physical and +1D against energy attacks.

Force Blindness--The Ssi-ruuk are incapable of sensing or using the Force. 
Ssi-ruuk may not be Force-sensitive, although they may earn, possess and 
use Force Point and character Points.

Fact--Ssi-ruuvi religion states that if a Ssi-ruu dies away from 
a properly consecrated world, that Ssi-ruu's spirit is doomed to wander 
the galaxy without rest. Consequently, Ssi-ruuk tend to avoid open conflict 
away from their own planets, preferring to have droids and P'w'ecks do 
their fighting for them, while they monitor the battle from a distance. If 
confronted on an unconsecrated world, they are very likely to flee from 
battle.
