Homebrew Astomoi Species Details
These mysterious humanoids require no food - indeed, they have no mouths - and have no eyes with which to survey their environment. Instead, they rely on their powerful minds to sense the world around them, and subsist on nutrients absorbed from the air. This can turn against them, however, as powerful smells and inhaled poisons can render an astomoi helpless. Predisposed to asceticism, astomoi rarely wear more than rags, if they wear anything at all.

Telepathic Senses
Astomoi cannot speak nor see, but can mentally sense the area within 60 feet, as per darkvision, and can speak telepathically. An astomoi can't see anything beyond 60 feet. An astomoi must provide thought components for spells that normally require verbal components. It can use language-dependant abilities with its telepathy, but not abilities that depend on audible components.
Sensitive Breath
Astomoi take disadvantage on saving throws against disease and inhaled poisons.
Mouthless
Astomoi don't need to eat nor drink to survive. Instead, they absorb the essence of food and drink; this consumes the nutrients of the meal as though it had been eaten, rendering the food useless to others. Astomoi consume potions and other ingested materials in the same fashion. Since they never actually ingest anything, they can't normally be exposed to ingested poisons.
Languages
Astomoi begin play knowing Common, but as they have no mouths, they cannot speak. They have telepathy with a range of 100 feet. Astomoi also speak one other language from the following: Abyssal, Aklo, Celestial, Elven, Gnomish, Infernal, and Sylvan.
