Radioscout Talphi
Source Galactic Ancestries pg. 188
The tunnels of Vesk-4, much like the surface, are plagued with pockets of powerful, dangerous radiation. Often invisible to the eye, these pockets drift through talphi territory unpredictably, presenting a mortal threat to any explorers in the area, especially during mining trips to the lodelands. Already extremely sensitive in conventional ways, some talphi noses have developed a knack for detecting pockets of radiation before they present a direct threat. Those who have a natural aptitude for radiation detection are highly sought-after companions on Vesk-4, as their presence can be the difference between life and death.
Your nose is attuned to things beyond the normal olfactory spectrum. The papillae at the end of your snout give you radiation sense, an imprecise sense with a range of 30 feet that alerts you to the presence and severity of radiation and creatures that emit radioactivity but is blocked by 3 feet of dirt or wood, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or any force field.
Furthermore, you're experienced in dealing with radioactive materials. You become trained in Physical Science Lore. If you would automatically become trained in Physical Science Lore (from your background or class, for example), you instead become trained in another skill of your choice. Additionally, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Fortitude saves against radiation.
