Yuan-Ti Psionic Abilities

[Olaf the Stout]

I am about to run an adventure that has Yuan-Ti in it. In reading their entry in the MM I noticed that the Half-Blood Yuan-Ti have the psionic abilities Produce Acid and Chameleon Power.

I don't have any psionic books and have never used any in my games. Can anyone tell me how these abilities work? Do they work the same as spell-like abilites?

Is there anything else about the Yuan-Ti that I should know about when I run them?

The description of what each ability does is provided in the Yuan-Ti Halfblood description.

Sorry, I obviously didn't explain myself well enough. I understand that the description of the ability is listed in the Half-Blood entry. For example Produce Acid (Sp). I just wanted to know if there is anything else that I needed to know, beyond the fact that it is a Spell-like ability, that might be different about it because it is a psionic ability.

In that case, you're good. They work exactly as they're described, and the fact that they're psionic changes nothing. Just run them as normal Sp abilities, with the same benefits and disadvantages.

Cool. Thanks shilsen.

A. Your game suffers from lack of psionics.

B. Psionics are in the SRD

C. Ironicly, Psionic Yuan-ti from the XPH don't have produce acid.

Yes, they do - it's called "Exhalation of the Black Dragon" instead. I'm not sure the magical version isn't better, though.

Never mind.
