The Grammaton Clerics are quasi-religious orders of the Star Titans, organized by the Great Houses of the NNR (Nebesnaya Narodnaya Respublika), usually called the Star League. Each House provides agents affiliated with the Star Titan’s religion, but are not necessarily actual divine clerics (though they could be). Wizards and Sorcerers are not typically Grammaton Clerics, but they are often allied with the Houses as Star Powered Mages.
All Grammaton Clerics, regardless of house affiliation, are prohibited from using soft tech in any form, with the exception of the Babel Fish symbiotes bred by House Ophiuchus.
Preternaturally Observant. You are quick to notice details when entering an area. You can recall even minute details visible to you, such as how many creatures and objects are in the space; the makeup of the creatures (race, sex, age); and the location of creatures and objects within the area. You are observant enough to determine the locations of invisible or extra-planar creatures, with an opposed Perception check vs. their Stealth check. If you succeed, you ignore the invisible condition. This ability will give you the chance to penetrate higher level invisibility or illusions that the Hoffman Lenses might not.
Hoffman Lenses. These are your choice of either sunglasses or contact lenses. You have received training to use these specialized lenses, and do not suffer any ill effects while wearing them for protracted periods. They allow you to see the aura produced by Far Realm entities, as well as being able to see through any invisibility or illusions of your character level or below. They protect you from gaze attacks, as well as the ripping gaze ability of Hounds of Tindalos. While wearing them, you only see in shades of gray, and cannot distinguish colors. They do provide darkvision 60 feet, so you can see in everything but total or magical darkness.
Minor Psionics. You know one psionic talent of your choice. This satisfies the requirement for being able to learn psionics via feats or the mystic class.
