Conversion Notes: This package represents the minimum abilities of a hawrk-ka from the Rifts role playing game. This write-up uses Champions 5th edition rules. The Characteristics cost for the SPD takes into account the bonus from the DEX. Psionic abilities draw on the I.S.P. Endurance Reserve for END.

The hawrk-ka is a tall humanoid avian d-bee who comes from a world rich with magic. To survive on this world they evolved a natural immunity to magic powers. They have a number of psionic abilities and can see the invisible. They are excellent flyers. This warrior race has been enslaved in great numbers by the Splugorth, and therefore can be found in small numbers on any planet the Splugorth inhabit. Their psionic abilities are usually limited to those above and they generally cannot become magic users.

To learn more about the hawrk-kas, I suggest purchasing and reading Rifts World Book Two: Atlantis by Kevin Siembieda.
