pretty decent race. I'd like to see it as an addition in Dragon once the ECS and EPH are out. (the other races introduced through Eberron too though)
Wouldn't they be mongrel 'Oni' now? :P
The eneko are only part oni, but yes. In fact, here's a paragon path to expand on that oni blood:
Night Haunter
“Need more souls…”
Prerequisite: Eneko
Your oni blood manifests as a result of your growing power, awakening abilities you never thought possible. This boon comes with a price, however, as your hunger for souls consumes you.
Night Haunter Features
Haunting Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you may add the Fear keyword to any power you use during that action, and the target of that power takes a -2 penalty to defences until the end of its next turn.
Deceptive Veil (11th level): You gain a +10 bonus on Bluff checks made to disguise yourself.
Insatiable Hunger (16th level): You gain a bonus to damage rolls against bloodied creatures equal to your highest mental ability score modifier.
Hypnotic Breath Night Haunter Attack 11
You exhale a cloud of shimmering gas, which lulls your enemies to sleep.

The thread necromancer strikes again.
They're part orc too. They should speak Orcish, too.
They're what? You are mistaken sir
. No orcish presence at all in Sarlona.They're what? You are mistaken sir
And Orcs speak Goblin.
Edit: So, I guess they should speak Riedran
There's a pretty version of this here:

Edit: So, I guess they should speak Riedran
Yeah they should. I held off on that back then, since I didn't know which languages would survive the edition change.
I think the languages line should be changed to:
Languages: Common or Riedran, Giant,
or even just Riedran and Giant, and force common to be taken by Linguist or a background benefit.
Nice work.
