	*'''Special Rule - Path Devotion:''' For most JolKoar, the paths of the Ancestors are merely advice, guidelines, and suggestions. But for others, the paths provide a narrow road to follow, defining their journey through the world. A JolKoar can choose to devote themselves to following the path of a particular ancestor. By doing so, they ~~exchange the usual Traits and Drawbacks system for the following~~. In place of traits, the JolKoar receives the feats for their given ancestor as bonus feats at the following levels: 1st – Follower, 5th – Path, 10th – Journey, and 15th – Devotion. However, they suffer a drawback specific to their path. These drawbacks rarely take the form of mechanical penalties and instead incur role-playing requirements upon the character. More details are listed in the [[JOL'KOAR EMPIRE#"The Ancestors"\|Ancestors]] section.		*'''Special Rule - Path Devotion:''' For most JolKoar, the paths of the Ancestors are merely advice, guidelines, and suggestions.

	* Coordinated Action: Bonded work better in groups, its probably an extension of the hiveminded nature of the Mind microbe. For every other Bonded within 15 squares, a Bonded gains a +1 morale bonus to skill checks, attack rolls, and saving throws to a maximum bonus of +5. This bonus is only gained from conscious Bonded; unconscious or comatose Bonded cannot contribute or benefit from it. No scientific basis has been found for this, though SDA researchers theorize it may be an extension of the Mind consciousness through the domain of the collective unconscious, much like psionics.		* Coordinated Action: Bonded work better in groups, its probably an extension of the hiveminded nature of the Mind microbe.

	* Fast Healing: Bonded have a phenomenal healing rate and can recover from devastating injuries in a short amount of time, as the microbial nature of the Mind allows it to supercharge the host’s recovery systems. As long as a bonded has not died outright from damage (brought to -10 hit points or took damage that sent it below 0 HP that exceeded its damage threshold), it heals 1 hit point every 4 rounds from any kind of damage. This quality is always active but does not permit the reattachment of limbs. Sensory organs regrow and in 2d6 days. Critical organs and small limbs (fingers and toes) will regrow in 2d8 days (but obviously there either needs to be a redundant organ or outside support during this time). Hands or feet will regrow in 2d10 days, and entire limbs will regrow in 2d12 days. It is hard to predict the regrowth rate, and sometimes a limb will grow back faster than an eye.		* Fast Healing: Bonded have a phenomenal healing rate and can recover from devastating injuries in a short amount of time, as the microbial nature of the Mind allows it to supercharge the host’s recovery systems.
