Twi'leki

You know Twi'leki, the secret language of Twi'leks. You can communicate non-verbally with other Twi'leks through a complex combination of verbal sounds and an elaborate, yet subtle sign language of head-tail motions. You and others who know this language automatically understand these signs. Others spot the message’s presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can’t decipher it.

The Weave Within

A Twi'Lek's Lekku is sensitive to the weave and can be used to replace specific components of spells. For each casting of a spell, the Lekku can be used to replace the somantic OR verbal component (only 1 component per casting). If a verbal component is replaced in this manner, the spell is considered to not contain a verbal component.

If the Lekku is being used to hold an item, it cannot be used to also replace a spell component.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Ryl, and Twi'leki. Ryl is the native tongue of Ryloth, yet there are few Twi'leks who cannot speak common fluently. What separates Twi'leks from other species is their second, nonverbal language called Lekku, or "Twi'leki." In everyday conversation, Twi'leks add texture and emphasis to their speech by moving and twitching their head-tails. If privacy is necessary, Twi'leks can converse in complete silence, using only the gestures of their head-tails to pass on complicated information.

Natural Talent

A Twi'lek is naturally gifted in stealth, charisma and the arcane.
