Skum renegades are skum that have become psionically aware. The aboleth have unwittingly allowed this mutation to creep into their creation, and they may one day suffer an uprising similar to one caused by the mind flayer's gith.
Skum renegades are usually found with groups of fellow skum, and they work very hard to keep their talents a secret from their masters. If more than one or two renegades are found, it's usually a group that has escaped from their bondage and is struggling to survive.
A skum renegade's preferred class is psychic warrior.
