Homebrew Yuan-ti Halfblood Species Details

The serpent creatures known as yuan-ti are all that remains of an ancient, decadent human empire .Yuan-ti halfbloods sit in the middle of Yuan-ti society. They resemble humans with a serpentine lower half and hair that ends in snakes. Ages ago their dark gods taught them profane, cannibalistic rituals to mix their flesh with that of snakes, producing a caste-based society of hybrids in which the most snakelike are the leaders and the most humanlike are spies and agents in foreign lands. Now, they are a nomadic group that have lost their faith and have turned to using their serpentine abilities to help others on their travels. Some have taken to selling poisons, others have settled in the wilderness, and others adventure to enjoy the freedom they have attained from slitting from their gods.
