A marriage between psionic technology and biological flesh, raedeen forms carry immense latent magical powers.  They are born to any flesh-and-blood race, but are implanted with the vestiges of avadri technology.  Some cultures, such as the Elves of the Plains, take these features as blessings, as they attune the raedeen to the dormant avadri technology across the planet.  Others, however, view them in a more critical light, ostracizing raedeen due to the magical incidents that often happen around their uncontrolled powers.  Their sensitivity to magic and excellent perception abilities lend them easily towards tracking or looting roles, but this also makes them incredibly susceptible to strong psionic attacks and psychic manipulation.

=== Raedeen Culture ===
'''Corrupted Raedeen'''
Corrupted raedeen strive to protect ideologies, individuals, or organizations that are twisted reflections of what avadri once cherished. Creativity, power, and the ability to exert one’s will over the chaos around them always appealed to avadri, so a corrupted raedeen might be drawn to an iron-fisted dictator or a shortsighted [[pioneer]] trying to deforest a tract of land. corrupted raedeen have formed an outlook that, while reminiscent of their avadri ancestry, is actually near the opposite of what their ancestors might have wanted.
'''Dreamer  Raedeen'''
Long before the first sapient life developed on Ancerra, hyper-advanced avadri fell into eons-long dream cycles where they imagined new realities and contemplated the great philosophies of the universe. Dreaming raedeen follow in the footsteps of these avadri. They excel at problem-solving and manifest psionic abilities that they can use to protect their allies and harry their foes.
'''Paragon Raedeen'''
Paragon raedeen hold more nuanced views of power, creativity, and control than their corrupted kin. They seek to exemplify the delicate balance of all three, as the paragon avadri did in the days of old. For some, this means seeking out authoritarian rulers and punishing them for irresponsible use of power. Other raedeen seek quieter lives, spending their days perfecting beautiful artisanal crafts, songs, or dances.

|Your biotechnical makeup allows you not only to passively consume ambient magic for nutrients, but steal it from magical attacks directed at you. When an enemy within 10 ft of you casts a spell or activates a magical effect that would damage you and no other targets, you may spend 2 reactive AP to make a CHA roll against their WILL. On a success, you negate the damage and instead regain 1d6 HP. The creature still loses its AP, but not any associated SP or rechargeable resources.
