Induce Chaos [General, Xaositect]
Xaositects are skilled at creating chaos in others. 
Prerequisites:  Membership in the Xaositects
Benefit:  You may cast Random Action once per day as a sorcerer of the same level.  You may do this an additional time for each four levels you possess.

Scramblespeak [General, Xaositect]
Xaositects speak to each other using Scramblespeak, a special application of the Innuendo Skill.
Prerequisite: Membership in the Xaositects
Benefit:  You gain a +2 bonus to Innuendo skill checks, and it is always a class skill for you.  Typically, Xaositects employ a form of Innuendo called Scramblespeak, where words are hopelessly transposed so as to confuse the listner.  When speaking in Scramblespeak, you may choose to lower the DC to understand you.  For instance, if you try to speak in Scrambespeak, and your Innuendo check sets a DC of 23, you may choose to speak in less complicated scramblespeak and set the DC lower so that another lower ranking Xaositect can better understand you.

Factol Karan

Even among the more chaotic factions like the Free League and the Fated, being a leader generally takes organizational skills and a the ability to move within Sigil's political circles.  Not so in the Xaositects.  The githzeari called Karan is as chaotic as they come.  Anyone talking to him for any length of time often comes across confused.  One minute he seems sane, and the next he seems as barmy as they come.  No one's quite sure if it's all part of his madness, whether he fakes the insanity.  Generally, most think the answer is "both."  Certainly, he seems to be able to lead his faction if not efficiently, then at least effectively.  

Since Xaositects live for the moment, they respect someone that has good ideas, though they define "good ideas" in terms of chaos, disorder, unexpectedness, and how much fun it would be to do it.  Karan seems to come up with a lot of good ideas, and so he always has a crowd of Xaositects following him around, waiting for him to have one of his ideas and following his lead.  See, he's not really your typical factol.  The Xaositects don't have any real structure, and Karan doesn't really have any underlings or give out any orders.  He just walks the street, engaging in chaos whenever possible.  Of course, that's exactly what the Chaosmen look for in a factol, so Karan seems to be Factol by general consent.  Sometimes he steps down, because it wouldn't serve a faction like the Xaositects to always have the same factol, but he always ends up taking the job back, and whoever assumed it in his absence always steps down whenever Karan is ready to return to his old position.

Of course, all this isn't to say he completely ignores typical factol duties.  In particular, he rarely misses sessions at the Hall of Speakers, where he delights in proposing laws that are often illogical or completely nonsensical.  Of course, he proposes laws that make perfect sense too, which only make the lawful factions that much more suspicious, and the wordings of which are often the most closely scrutinized. 

Tactics:  Due to his racial Inertial Armor and his high dexterity, Karan eschews armor completely, and leaps around the battlefield, striking with Spring and Whirlwind Attacks.  He doesn't go in much for magical items, but he's amassed a collection, and carries different items on different days.  The stat block below lists several of the weapons that he owns and enjoys using.  For two handed weapons, he of course cannot use his shield, and so his AC is six less if he is employing one of these.  Note: the following stat block uses the Xaositect prestige class found in Dragon Magazine #187.
