Known Abilities

Pyxai are native to the plane of Exoma, and by themselves they are formidable predators. They have a breath attack that deals chaos damage, is extremely accurate, and does very high damage. They have the expected claw and bite attacks of a typical feline as well. They can breathe water and can run rather quickly, but cannot fly and do not have night vision.

Petting the Familiar

You pet Felix with your right hand.
You sense elemental energies flowing from Felix's body into your spirit.

This replenishes 1 spellpoint per action and provides a modest increase to elemental resistance skills.

Attribute Modifications

Bonding to a pyx grants a very large bonus to Dexterity, moderate bonuses to Intelligence and Perception, and a small bonus to Constitution.

Specialty Bonuses and Access

Bonus specialty degrees and access are provided as follows:

Tier 1

• Exoma Fieldcraft
• Order Resistance

Tier 2

Towards the end of "very frail" bond strength:

• Acid Resistance
• Chaos Affinity
• Earth Resistance
• Escape
• Fire Resistance
• Killer Instinct
• Showmanship
• Swimming
• Water Resistance

Tier 3

These bonus specialties are granted either just before, or just after, the Tier 4 group:

• Acting
• Balance
• Jumping
• Quickness
• Tumbling

Tier 4

At the middle of "fairly healthy" bond strength:

• Alkaline Resistance
• Cold Tolerance
• Combat Reflexes
• Fast Talk
• Heat Tolerance
• Precision Strike

At "very healthy" bond strength, the first tier bonus specialties are increased to 2.

Tier 5

At the middle of "very healthy" bond strength:

• Xotimancy

Tier 6

Late in "very healthy" bond strength, a number of resistance skills are added that require free specialty points. These are not granted as bonus specialties. If none are free, the bond will attempt to make free specialty points by de-specializing other skills (possibly important ones). These are:

• Cold Tolerance
• Heat Tolerance
• Entropy Resistance
• Extropic Affinity
• Magick Resistance

(...and possibly others)

At "resilient" bond strength, the second tier bonus specialties are increased to 2.

Charms

Pyxai are good socializers and are able to convince other pyxai into following their consort. Initially the pyx grants the following charms:

• Urge
• Tame
• Command

Shortly after:

• Call Familiar
• Send Familar

• Kinsee

At "very healthy" bond strength:

• Starsee

At "resilient" bond strength:

• Replenish Glands

Additional Bonuses and Powers

Towards the end of "very healthy" bond strength, the pyx grants a breathe attack that does chaos damage, and a phlogiston reserve that can be viewed with the command "show phlogiston reserves". The attack uses the Eructation skill for both attack rating and damage.

Traits granted

Chaos favour will naturally come along with the specialties in chaos affinity.
