Racial Traits

Claws: The fingernails of the mutant have been altered so that they can be used as formidable weapons. The character's hands are now natural weapons that allow him to make two claw attacks per round for 1d6 points of damage each. The claws also provide a +2 bonus on Climb checks.
Sixth Sense: The mutant can sense danger, possessing a psionic awareness that separates him from others. The character has a 50% chance to ignore surprise from any source. This ability is always active.
Ego Whip: As a standard action, the mutant can perform a rapid psionic lash that assaults his victim's ego, inflicting 1d4 points of Dexterity damage. The target may make a Will save (DC 17) to avoid the effect. Range is 30 feet, duration is instantaneous, usable 3 times per day.
Dyslexia: The mutant has developed a mental defect that impairs his ability to recognize and comprehend written words. The character can never learn to read or write and cannot take ranks in any skill that requires him to read (such as Computer Use, Decipher Script, Forgery, and Research).
Terrible Reflexes: The mutant suffers a -4 penalty to all Reflex saves.
Medical Incompatibility: The mutant does not benefit as easily from medicines, cybertech, biotech, or nanotech designed for normal humans. He must make a Fortitude save (base DC 15) or suffer a random medical incompatibility effect when using most medicines, grafts, and implants. He also has a harder time controlling nanotech powers (base DC 15).

In combat, Martuk is cautious but he doesn't ever back down from a battle that he thinks he can win. He rushes into melee, but only after making sure he is not grossly outnumbered or outclassed. Martuk will only back down if he thinks another blow will put him out.

Martuk is not easily surprised, so ambushes are unlikely. If he does suspect danger, he will stop, draw a weapon, and gauge what's around him. If he can detect a threat, he'll take it on (unless it's a whole gang and he needs to run). If Martuk were caught sneaking into enemy territory by well-armed guards, he would dive into combat while trying to find a way to escape. If there's nowhere to hide, he'll halt and hope that he'll have a better scenario for escape when the guard is in melee range!

Martuk does not negotiate - he demands that people give him what he wants or tell him what he needs to know. He doesn't put up with bullshit - people should be able to take a look at him and realize that he's not going to let them get away with anything. If he can't understand the language, he'll try to get the point across with gestures. If he feels that someone's demands were reasonable, he'll do it. If they're not, he'll find a way to get what I want even if I have to break some rules or some skulls.
