Psychic - the whole business of soul hunting sounds very psychic to me.

Religious - the race truly dedicated to saving souls of others. If this is not deeply religious, then what else?

Crystal - according to Bab5 tech.manual, soul hunters ships have crystaline mesh armor.

Organic - they live over thousand years and can breathe any atmosphere. Must be very good in organic technology.

Temporal - they can predict when person will die, even if it is in a freaky accident. Surely, they can build events predictors!

So, what advanced race trait should it be ?



Actually, this is a good race to give some unique mix of abilities. If the B5 manual says they have crystalline mesh armor then give them something like that, with the shield recharge ability and all. But don't give them a shard cannon equivalent. Give them the Mental Flailer in a new name appropriate for B5. Give them the events predictor, too. Finally, give them something like the fate shrine to account for their ability to predict the future. An interesting mix that will give a new challenge with the same old abilities.
