Siihuasessiniosh is an Inner Circle priest of Merrshaulk
and the other Yuan-Ti deities. As a paragon, he serves several nests, and rarely
stays at any one for long. He has a humanoid face and a long, colorful, serpentine
body. As a paragon, he is considered to be extremely holy and perfect, and
is one of the Shan-Pachan. He is interested in architecture and alchemy. He
has a vivid imagination, and a nearly perfect memory. He believes most strongly
in destruction, frenzy, and bloodlust. He is very eager to learn as much as
he can about the upper world, and cultivates relationships with certain purebloods
to learn what he can.
He enjoys taking purebloods and transforming them into half-bloods, and then
into abominations. He also enjoys turning humans into tainted ones, and then
into purebloods. He prefers to do this to willing subjects, as making a human
willing is more of a challenge for him.
Siihuasessiniosh has transcended his mortal essence to become an emissary of
Merrshaulk. He is now an outsider, but may be resurrected
if he wishes. He can communicate telepathically with any other creature within
100 feet of him that has a language. He is about 700 years old. He travels
from nest to nest, providing overall religious leadership.
Spell-like Abilities: 2/day - Animal Trance, Cause Fear, Deeper Darkness,
Entangle, Neutralize poison, Suggestion, Polymorph Other, Greater Dispelling,
Haste, See Invisibility. (23rd Level
Psionics (Sp): All Yuan-Ti can produce the following effects
at will.
Detect Poison: As the spell cast by a 6th-level sorcerer.
Alternate Form: The yuan-ti can assume the
form of a Tiny to Large viper. This ability is similar to a shapechange
spell cast by a 19th-level sorcerer but allows only viper forms. A yuan-ti in
alternate form uses its most powerful poison attack if it has two.
Chameleon Power: Yuan-ti can change their coloration
to match their surroundings.
Produce Acid: The yuan-ti can exude acid from
its body, dealing 1d6 points of damage to anything it touches. The acid becomes
inert when it leaves the yuan-ti's body.
Aversion: The yuan-ti creates a compulsion
effect targeting one creature within 30 feet. The subject must succeed at a
Will save (DC 44) or gain an aversion to snakes for 10 minutes. Affected subjects
must stay at least 20 feet from any snake or yuan-ti, alive or dead; if already
within 20 feet, they move away. A subject can overcome the compulsion by succeeding
at another DC 44 Will save, but still suffers deep anxiety. This caused a -4
reduction to Dex until the effect wears off or the subject is no longer within
20 feet of a snake or yuan-ti. This ability is otherwise similar to antipathy
as cast by a 16th-level sorcerer.
Chant of Pain: At will, as a full round action, he
can dance and chant in a sinuous sacrament that deals 3d6 damage to one living
creature within 60 feet (Will DC 54 for half damage).
Chant of Agony: Three times per day, he can dance
and chant to deal 9d6 points of damage to a single living creature within 60'.
A will save DC 54 halves the damage.
Chant of Death: Once per day as a full round action,
he can dance and chant to slay one living creature within 60'. A Will save
DC 54 allows the creature to take 6d6 points of damage instead.
Skills: Yuan-ti using chameleon power receive
a +8 circumstance bonus to Hide checks.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a snake-headed abomination (all
of them in this village) must hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it
can constrict.
Constrict (Ex): An abomination deals 1d6+6 points of damage with
a successful grapple check (using the bite attack bonus if snake-headed) against
Large or smaller creatures.
Inner Circle: Siihuasessiniosh can transform humans into tainted ones
or broodguards, tainted ones into purebloods, purebloods into halfbloods,
and halfbloods into abominations. He gains a +10 bonus on Diplomacy
and Intimidate when dealing with other yuan ti, and gains a +10 bonus to Knowledge (Religion).
Sticks to Snakes (Sp): Once per day, Siihuasessiniosh can transform
1d4+20 sticks (arrows, torches, staffs, etc) into snakes. See Savage Species,
page 98 for more details.
Snake Darts (Sp): Siihuasessiniosh has ritual tattooing of snakes
on his tail. Three times per day as a standard action, he can launch these
tattoos against opponents of medium range, hitting automatically, dealing 2d6
points of damage, plus poison (Fort DC 46, 1d6 Con damage primary
and 2d6 Con secondary damage).
Greater Psionic Focus (Su): He adds +4 to the DC for all saving throws
against his innate psionic powers.
Unhallow (Sp): He can cast unhallow
once per week as a 33rd level cleric.
Command Reptiles (Su): He can mentally command all snakes and reptiles
within 30 feet at will, resembling dominate animal as cast by a 33rd
level cleric.
Unholy Aura (Su): He can use an unholy aura once per day as a
spell cast by a 33rd level cleric.
Voice of Merrshaulk: He can command other yuan
ti at will, as a dominate monster cast as a
divine spell by a 33rd level cleric.
Cleric Spells Per Day: 6/8+1/8+1/7+1/7+1/7+1/6+1/5+1/5+1/5+1
