I don't agree with having all of the ability score bonuses on top of all the powers; I think dumping one in favor of the other (read: the powers should be kept at the expense of all the ability score changes, positive or negative). I also think the constant empathy still has a pretty good chance to shaft you (if your enemy has a bag of awakened rats, as it were), especially if you have to make a separate save for each suitably intelligent creature that dies, even in the same turn.

If you're afraid of having your friends complain that it's too strong, well, this time they would almost certainly be wrong.

The racial traits section could be shorter, and the description sections could be longer.

I'm curious as to how a race with the gender balance of a pride of lions ends up being matriarchal.

RatedNeutral.png Aarnott is neutral on this article and rated it 2 of 4.
I don't remember what it was like before, but I feel that it is too weak now. Four arms is always a tricky business. It merits the LA + 1, but the other abilities would have been fine with LA +0. I think it's a bit low-powered for a LA+1, but a bit high-powered for a LA+0.

The fluff/roleplaying abilities are decent.

The description could be more fleshed out.

RatedLike.png Havvy likes this article and rated it 3 of 4.
The abilities are fine for an LA+1 race, though level adjustment isn't fun. The abilities are flavorful, and actually makes you feel like you are playing a psionic. I actually read the descriptions for once, and well, they gave me questions about why that it. Now that the balance around abilities has been reached, it'd be nice to see the lore expanded upon.
