Homebrew Adjessi Abomination Race Details
It is believed that an ancient being known as Wadjess gave birth to Londorwin's first serpents. These serpents flourished in the deserts of Gyhan. The story goes that one day as Wadjess was slithering along she came across a grisly scene. The hawks of the desert had massacred and eaten most of the small serpents. She wept for her fallen children and her tears created an oasis where the small serpents took refuge from the hawks above. The waters of this oasis contained some of Wadjess' life giving energies which overtime began to affect her children. At first they had grown in size and could no longer hide in the brush. With the serpents now in the open, the hawks became bold and started attacking them once again. Next the serpents grew arms, which they used to snatch the hawks from the air. The serpents began eating the hawks in retaliation for the trouble they had caused. Realizing the scale was no longer in their favor, the hawks flew from the oasis. This saddened the serpents as they had grown accustomed to the hawk's taste. Luckily for the serpents they would soon develop legs allowing them to move farther and faster. It wouldn't be long before the serpents left the oasis to hunt the hawks. Not all Adjessi grew legs. Some left the Oasis with nothing but two arms and a large snake-like tail.

Incredible work! I'd double those ability score increases, but aside from that this is utter perfection! Do you think you could make another subrace or two?
