Special Abilities

Commune with Nature (Sp) When a limina casts commune with nature, it can sense any First World breaches or places where the dimensional barrier between the First World and Material Plane is thin, within the spell’s range.
Grasping Vines (Su) As a standard action, a limina can use the xenodruid mystic’s grasping vines connection power (Reflex DC 24) as if the limina was a 16th-level mystic.
Susceptible to Dimensional Anchor (Su) When targeted by dimensional anchor or similar effects, a limina’s spell resistance does not apply, and the limina takes 4d10 points of damage in addition to the normal effects of the spell or other effect.

Description

A limina embodies a tear in the fabric of reality between the First World and the Material Plane. Known as a “breach” or a “bloom,” these dimensional rents create beachheads of stability in the First World and zones of wild, verdant growth on the Material Plane. Unlike many fey, the limina are not abandoned divine concepts, instead created by the First World itself in response to breaches. They are kin to the similarly created calecor and offer loyalty to the Eldest Ng. Limina are haughty and exacting, and decide whether a breach should be tolerated or sealed. They crave secrets to curry favor with their Eldest, and the promise of a valuable secret is incentive enough to open a dialogue or negotiation with one. Liminas know the ritual to open or seal a breach from the Material Plane or First World, which requires the sacrifice of a fey or mortal creature, respectively.
