[QUOTE="C. Baize, post: 2892252, member: 4571"] [b]Jaffa[/b] Jaffa are the servants and incubators for the Goa’Uld. [b]Template Traits[/b] “Jaffa” is a template that can be added to nearly any humanoid who undergoes the Prim’Tah ceremony or is given a pouch by a Goa’Uld queen utilizing a special device which prepares the victim for the implantation of a larval Goa’Uld symbiote for incubation. Both the Prim’Tah and the Goa’Uld Pouch device destroy the victim’s immune system (-10 circumstance penalty to Fort saves against disease or poison) so the victim’s body will not attempt to reject the larval Goa’Uld. Fortunately for the Jaffa, however, the symbiote’s immunities are far superior to the humanoid’s when it is within an incubating host. Along with serving as the greatly enhanced immune system for its host, the symbiote increases the host’s Strength and Constitution. A Jaffa with a Goa’Uld symbiote receives a +4 bonus to both Strength and Constitution as well as a +2 bonus to Fort saves vs poison and disease. The Jaffa uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
