Weresnakes are cunning and manipulative lycanthropes. In humanoid form, a weresnake has somewhat reptilian eyes and constantly flicks its tongue about like a snake. Even in humanoid form, a weresnake likes eating rats and other rodents. In battle, a weresnake attempts to ambush foes and poison them with a powerful bite, and it bites at every opportunity. Some weresnakes serve nagas and yuan-ti, while others strike out alone as assassins and spies. Characters as WeresnakesThe character gains a Dexterity of 18 if his or her score isn't already higher.
