Need a Substitute for Yuan-Ti

[Doctor DM]

I'm running Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde, and I need a sub for the Yuan-ti Halfblood who's into dragons in the Temple.

I just hate Yuan-ti for some reason, I find them to be extremely lame, and this one especially doesn't feel right in this dungeon and setting.

I have access to pretty much all the D&D books, so feel free to mention any kind of wierd thing from MM4 or something like that.

Thanks.

What kind of weird? Phasms are pretty weird. So are Yak People.

 

[Doctor DM]

well, I don't mean like "what the heck is that freaky thing" wierd, (but that's ok I guess). I just meant I'd be cool with some kind of exotic lesser known creature from a book other than the first 2 MM's.

I probably could've phrased that a little better.

Well,

Use a dark naga, with 20 hp less (bringing her to 38), and which casts as a 4th level sorcerer (instead of 7th), also change its damage from poison to match the yuan-ti's (instead of falling comatose, 1d6 Con damage).

That should do the trick (and scare your players quite a bit)

I'd be curious to know of some myself. I've been trying to find some sort of Serpent-Man type of race (similar to a Pureblood), preferably without a LA. Basically a humanoid with serpent traits (no unusual anatomy, like tails or long necks). I haven't really found anything quite to my liking, though. Anyone know of any?

Serpent Kingdoms had a +0 LA race with such characteristics... I think

*would like to point out that LA/ELC isn't a factor when consider the CR of an opponent*

That said there's always Tome of Horror Invidians(sp). They might work for you.

Probably he wants it for a character...

See I was thinking he wanted it for an NPC/encounter. I just didn't know.

If he wants a serpent race just make a human with snake qualities, +2 Dex, -2 Cha, and be done with it.
