[QUOTE="QuietBrowser, post: 6900627, member: 6855057"] [h=2][COLOR=#434343][FONT=Arial]Lamia[/FONT][/COLOR][/h] Lamias, in most media outside of D&D, are portrayed as a unique race of serpent-folk; human from the waist up, and a giant snake from the waist down, a form of reptilian taur. D&D has had such creatures, too, as the oft-forgotten "noble" Lamia standing above the ubiquitous lioness-taur it uses. I've always liked the serpentine lamia, and I liked the challenge of trying to balance a race that has a body-structure different from the standard bipedal outline, so I tried my hand at this, inspired by the fact that there's a Pathfinder writeup for similar creatures in the form of the "Lamia Commoner". I am particularly worried about the balance on this one.
