This won't disrupt the campaign since it's an evil one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />So looking through the Tome & Blood splatbook, I was inspired by the Dragon Disciple PrC. My PrC here ends up by 5th level granting all psionic and spell-like abilities of the yuan-ti, SR 16, Natural Armor +1, and +3 levels of existing spellcasting class (presumably cleric). The character's type changes to Monstrous Humanoid and they are basically considered a yuan-ti pureblood for all purposes. They don't gain the feats or ability scores of a yuan-ti, however; they retain their own in all cases.Yuan-Ti Disciple Prestige ClassThe Yuan-Ti Disciple (YTD) is a human who has willingly taken on the corruptedbloodline of the yuan-ti. Initially, the power of the bloodline unlocks certain latent psionictalents lying dormant in the disciple’s mind, as well as generating a rudimentary spellresistance and natural armor bonus. As the disciple progresses down this path, more psionicpowers are unlocked, until the disciple has achieved mastery of all psionic powerscommon to yuan-ti. In the final stage, the disciple becomes a yuan-ti pureblood, gainingthe spell-like abilities of that creature (see Monster Manual, p.190).Requirements:Race: Human.Alignment: Any evil.Feats: Dodge, Improved InitiativeSkills: Knowledge (Religion) 8 ranks.Languages: Yuan-Ti.Spells: Ability to cast divine spells and access at least one of the Chaos, Evil, Destruction,Plant domains (or another domain granted by a yuan-ti deity).Special: Must be willingly transformed through a ritual performed by a yuan-ti clericwherein the character to be transformed renounces their humanity and consumes amouthful of the sacred blood of the initiating cleric, as well as sacrifices a human life in the name of the yuan-ti deity.Hit Die: d8.Class Skills: Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Diplomacy, Hide, Intimidate, Knowledge(Religion), Listen, Move Silently, Spot.Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier. Ex-Yuan-Ti Disciples: Only a wish or miracle can reverse the transformation process;the character cannot willingly become of a non-evil alignment or seek to regain theirhumanity. If somehow they ever regain their humanity, they lose all class abilities andcannot advance levels in the Yuan-Ti Disciple class.Table 1-1: The Yuan-Ti Disciple1st Level: BAB +0, Fort +0, Ref +2, Will +2Special: +1 natural armor, SR 11 + 1 per class level.2nd Level: BAB +1, Fort +0, Ref +3, Will +3Special: Produce Acid (1d6 damage by touch only, at will), Detect Poison (at will); bothof these are psionic abilities. +1 level of existing spellcasting class.3rd Level: BAB +2, Fort +1, Ref +3, Will +3  Special: Chameleon Power (+8 Hide checks, at will), Alternate Form (tiny to large viper,at will); both of these are psionic abilities. +1 level of existing spellcasting class.4th Level: BAB +3, Fort +1, Ref +4, Will +4Special: Aversion (inspires fear of snakes and yuan-ti, including the character, at will);this is a psionic ability. +1 level of existing spellcasting class.5th Level: BAB +3, Fort +1, Ref +4, Will +4Special: Yuan-ti Apotheosis (character gains the spell-like abilities of a pureblood yuan-tiand changes to the monstrous humanoid type). * Unless otherwise noted, all psionic and spell-like abilities are exactly as per the yuan-tientry in the Monster Manual, p.190.</blockquote>
