Newborn Ryphorian

The birth of the Newborn, and the buildup to that cosmic event prior to the planet Aucturn's destruction, had a massive impact on the Pact Worlds solar system as well as the galaxy at-large. The psychic shock waves from this divine occurrence also did something thought to be unthinkable: it broke the connection some ryphorians have with the seasonal cycles of the planet of Triaxus. While you no longer carry any of the telltale signs of your connection back to your ancestral home world, you've developed a psychic predisposition toward feeling the emotions of others that makes it easier to trust your allies and suss out your enemies.

The circumstance bonus you gain from your notched ears feature applies even when you can't hear and to creatures who make no noise, but it doesn't apply when the creatures are both silent and immune to mental effects. Additionally, you gain the Sympathetic Bond feat.
