As a bonus action choose a creature you have damaged this round, or a creature suffering from the poisoned condition. That creature must make a constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of your next turn. 

Subjugate the Natural

Starting at 6th level, you add the spell dominate beast to your list of spells known. Once per long rest you can cast dominate beast at 4th level without expending a spell slot. 

Superior Snake Senses

At 6th level your senses gain extra sensitivity, mirroring your patron's.

You gain blindsight 20ft and 60ft of darkvision. If you already have darkvision it increases by 60ft. 

Carpet of Fangs

Starting at 10th level. You conjure a ravenous swarm of poisonous snakes using the stat block below. This ability functions exactly as conjure animals except you always summon the carpet of poisonous snakes. 

After you use this ability you can't use it again until after you have completed a long rest. 

 

Serpentine Apotheosis

Starting at 14th level you can use an action to polymorph yourself into a large, magical viper, described below.

The ability functions as per polymorph except:

• you can only target yourself
• you can only transform into the avatar of the Urviper
• it does not require concentration
• it cannot be dispelled
• you retain your mental ability scores, skill, and save proficiencies (modified by your new physical ability scores)
• you can maintain the ability to use your venom magic ability.

On the turn you use this ability you can use a bonus action to make a bite or constrict attack and move 30ft as you leap at your enemies during the transformation. 

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

At 18th level you can choose to have the avatar of the Urviper be huge size instead of large.
