    Apt: An apt creature is able to learn how to use various kinds of machinery with little problems, unfortunatly technology has it's downsides as this relience on technology has left them ignorant to magic. No apt creature is capable of casting spells of any kind

    Inapt: An Inapt creature cannot wield a crossbow or other mechanical device, can't understand how the simplest of locks work and get nausiated while on a mechanical contraption. With combat it is not them being unproficient with crossbows or even Snapbows it is them failing to understand how the process of pulling a trigger will result in the bolt being fired and no amount of teaching will ever enable them to learn

    New Feats

    Art Focus
    You choose to train on improving the abilities of your art above all others
    You gain 1 Kinden Point, You can take this feat multiple times, it's effects stack

    Inaptitude
    You are a freak of nature for your kinden, while you have lost the knowlege of machinery your mind has been opened to something else entirely
    You change from Apt to Inapt, however any spells you cast are at -1CL (to a minumum of 1) and -1Save DC

    Aptitude
    You are somewhat "more developed" than the rest of your kinden this has left you in wonder at technology but closed your mind from the old ways
    You change from Inapt to Apt however you suffer a -1 to hit with mechanical weapons and a -1 on skill checks involving mechanics

    Othermind
    Prerequisits: Ant Kinden
    Instead of just being linked to the Ant kinden of your city you are linked to any Ant that comes within your range
    You have a mindlink with any Ant within your mindlink range, this allows you to talk to this Ant or listen in to the conversations he may be having

    HalfBreed
    An (un)fortunate coupling between two different kindens has produced a unique offspring which is you
    Choose Stat changes from 1 kinden and apply them instead to another kindens abilities, you can choose Art abilities from either Kinden you've chosen from. However you take a further -2 to Charisma and NPCs have a starting attitude of unfriendly towards you
    This feat can only be taken at 1st level

    Sting Focus
    Prerequisits: Wasp or Bee with Bee sting
    Years of practicing with your sting has turned it from a last resort to a lethal weapon
    You gain +1 on attack and damage rolls with your sting

    New Weapon:

    Exotic Ranged Weapon
    Snapbow:
    Cost: 400gp
    Range: 150feet
    Damage: 2d6
    Critical: 19-20x2
    Powered by an "air-battery" which propels a metal bolt down a metal barrel
