Aboleth Disciple

“	If you remembered what I can, you would find no sleep at night, mortal.	”
—Abolasterwann, Natalupe Aboleth Disciple, Grimoirse Forboddia

The aboleth, ancient tyrants, first race to draw breath upon the prime material. With their psionic abilities, endless memories, and immortality they dominated the budding first ages, building empires of slaves and experiementing in all manner of unholy arcane and psionic experimentation. Such experimentation was their eventual downfall, but the genes of their strange creations persist to this day, hidden useless fragments which remain dorment until touched with psionic spark. At some point, a species of quasi-aboleth were made out of non-aboleth stock, and the ability to revert into this primal form is hidden away.

You do not, however, gain power points per day and new powers known or any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. Rather you gain the power points listed here by the class.
