What's the worst thing a yuan-ti has charmed you into doing? In a final battle, the yuan-ti I was running suggested the paladin go drink from their special fountains, fountains that healed anything with poison immunity, but was poison to anything without immunity. The concentration was broken, but the funny part was, the paladin was desperate enough at the end of the battle to drink willingly in hopes that it was safe now. It wasn't. _It wasn't safe at all._
At least they don't put all their eggs in one basket, and the eggs will eventually become resistant enough to mind blasts that they will rise up and kill them. Mindflayers had this happen no less then four times. The gith, the gray dwarves, the insane dwarves, the beholders, and that's not including the races that would rather kill themselves then be tortured by Mindflayers and then become undead so they don't have brains that Mindflayers can use. Also both demons and devils are enemies to them and making a bargain with one of the two seems like a good idea when ypur hit with psychic torture 24/7.
Lol I actually made and am currently playing a feywanderer ranger. She’s more the battlefield medic. She started as a snake and ambient magic made her into a humanoid. That’s how my girl is more nice and NG and healer. It’s been fun!
Theres a guy in davvy's discord who rants about how davvy is a member of the fey court. Dude is funny as hell, think his names like awakened racoon or something
@@SkyC0d3r This makes sense, there's nothing a fey lord hates as much as the other fey since they know the rules of their kind and are thus less susceptible to his charm. :o
When Davvy forgets the thing that makes yuan-ti busted as player characters: Magic Resistance. Especially at high levels where baddies are throwing spells left and right. Yuan-ti be like, “lol, you thought!”
Yeah maybe he just always removes that for players. I mean everything else is sorta fine when a random guard might stab your face in because you showed a little too much snakeskin. But MR on a PC is kinda op. with the familar options you need to find said creature, get it to agree and keep it from dying
I think since it only matters with saving throws he does not consider it to broken. You get attacked by a single target spell? No saving throw, no advantage. I guess that the number of high level spells that require a saving throw are numerous. But getting attacked by magical swords and spears, or normal arrows, just means that the magic resistance trait is useless. I think he does agree that having magic resistance, combined with the poison immunity and the innate spellcasting make it overpowered though.
The first character I ever played as was a Yuan-ti Paladin - and the best part of that combination is the fact that it makes you immune to both poison AND disease at level 3.
This may sound cringey, but one idea I had for a PC was a Yuan-ti Celestial Warlock. The backstory was that he was a spy sent out into the outside world to gather information and managed to find work with a smuggling ring specializing in artifacts. Eventually, a golden statue came into their possession but when my character touched it, an angel forced a fragment of itself into my character's soul granting it a portion of its power but also bring out the human emotions buried away (namely emotions like guilt, sympathy, affection, etc.) and the angel was going to force my character to be a tool of their will and if my character would do anything it would find unjustifiable then it would literally burn him from the inside and tear out his very soul. So TLDR: Neutral Evil Snake-man is forced to act more Chaotic Good or else he would get fucked up by a pissy angel, all while learning about how having emotions is cool and stuff except for when they aren't and make you miserable.
You forgot to mention just *how* busted spell resistance winds up being. Because it is, and it single-handedly makes Yuan-Ti stupidly viable as *any* class, ASIs be damned.
They are fine and they definitely aren't good for any class, charisma bases ones sure, but people claiming they are the most oberpowered thing in the world is as much a circlejerk as the people who cry about flight.
Me: *spends hours writing about a secret society of yuanti that live in a hidden temple not too far from the party's hub city.* Davy: "As a player, I hate them." Me: *Deletes campaign plans*
I played a yuan-ti gloomstalker ranger and the biggest challenge in making that character was explaining why they weren't evil. I was able to explain why they were neutral and they ended up being a pretty fun character to play.
Actually have plans to play a Yuan-Ti Divine Soul Sorceror kind of based off the goddess Sirona. Credit to miracle of sound for introducing me to her existence.
My last D&D campaign (also my first one) I played a female Yuan-Ti (NE divine soul sorc. It was my job to keep the rest of the meatshields-I mean, party, alive). And as a red blooded white male I, of course, spend a few hours scouring the internet for a picture to put on the character sheet. And after many a failed attempt finally found what I was looking for. A picture of a female Yuan-Ti that wasn't god dam sexualised. In hind-sight, I think I would have had an easier time looking for the holy grail....
My best use of the Yuan-Ti I have had as a DM was at the beginning of Tomb of Annihilation. The Yuan-Ti managed to con the party into hiring a Pureblood as one of their two guides, with the goal of delivering the group to Ras Nsi to be sacrificed to Dendar the Night Serpent. If the party hadn't been betrayed by another NPC, they would never have suspected there was a snake lady in their midst. Eventually they turned the tables on her, when the party Sorcerer used Subtle Spell to cast Suggestion on her, and I rolled so poorly, even with Magic Resistance, that she failed her Wisdom save! They suggested she spill the beans, and she had to later flee with the aid of some Yuan-Ti Malisons. A very memorable part of the campaign.
The Planeshift Amonkhet pdf has a playable snake person PC race based off the mtg art at 4:58 and a few other parts of this video. They don't have some of the specific stuff the Volo's Yuan-ti gets, but they can slither along the ground at double or tripple their movement speed as long as their hands are empty.
There is a certain epic level Psionicist trapped in a fancy gold chair who can tell you all about the dangers of telling the lunatics who worship you to stop. The results can be rather grim if you try to keep your followers in the dark.
There is actually a free Volo's supplementary on DM's Guild with the other Yuan-Ti type with player stats. You get to choose whether you have a snake head, snake tail instead of legs, or snake arms. It also comes with plenty other subrace options and variants, including not-quite-werewolf bugbears and wolfrider goblins. Also tinkerer goblins that make the same kind of trinkets that rock gnomes do, but they explode! Just look up Volo's and Subraces, you'll find it.
Honestly Yuan-Ti pureblood is one of my favorite races to play. Their bonuses are awesome, and they make for great roleplay opportunities. Plus you don't see them literally every game like tieflings.
Fun counter to yuan-ti if a bard, ranger, or cleric is present: throw down a silence bubble and just hang out inside. You can't hear the suggestion spell and force the yuan-ti to take a different set of tactics!
I like Yuan-ti Wild Magic Sorc just for the fact you get advantage on the saving throws that affect you. Not that it helps your party when you cast fireball on self, but it helps.
Yuan-Ti Pureblood Oath of the Ancients Paladin 17/Hexblade Warlock 3. Use CHA for everything, and have advantage on saving throws AND resistance to damage from spells.
Elves do have that wonderful ability that gives them advantage from being charmed. It's not an immunity, but in a situation against a yuan-ti, it will help a bit as long as the player doesn't have one of those days where they have multiple crappy dice rolls in a row...
Fans (Totally not a Cult): We will do whatever you ask of us. You are our one true leader. Davvy: Please stop worshipping me. Fans (Totally not a Cult): What? Sorry. We didn't hear that. WORSHIP THE DAVVY! *Especially the wizard Davvy*
One thing yuan-ti purebloods could perhaps get in the future is a pair of racial feats that functionally serve as "evolving" to the next stage of Yuan-Ti-Ness
**DM internally crying when a player picks Yuan-Ti as his race but wants to make a Marilith** DM (me): So, cool... snake lower-half with six arms. How (screaming inside) unique. I could allow it if you explain how that works. Player: Well, you know how there are always shows of how snakes that do well have two heads... DM: **nodding and faux listening to this sh^t again while screaming inside**

No that’s the Neogi.
