Homebrew Yuan Ti Species Details

Yuan-Ti

The serpent creatures known as yuan-ti are all that remain of an ancient human empire. Ages ago, their dark gods taught them profane rituals to mix their flesh with that of snakes, producing a caste-based society of hybrids in which the most snake-like are the leaders and the most humanlike are spies and agents in foreign lands. Out of these castes, yuan-ti abominations stand as the second highest and are highly regarded as leaders and warriors among their people.

Your serpentine nature grants you a number of traits.

Ability Score Increase

Your Strength, Constitution, and

Natural Weapons

Your constricting serpentine body as
well as your fanged maw are natural weapons, which you can
use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with your bite, you
deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.
If you hit with your constrict attack, you deal bludgeoning
damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, and the target
must succeed on a Strength saving throw with a DC equal to
8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier or
become grappled. Until this grapple ends, your speed is 0 and
you can’t constrict another target. At the start of your turn
while you are constricting a target, you can use your bonus
action to squeeze, dealing damage equal to your Strength modifier.

against poison, and you have resistance against poison
damage.

Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against
