# Yuan-Ti Pureblood >[!rimg]+ > ![[Placeholder2.png]] *This being looks much like a slim-hipped, lithe human with sharp features and unblinking eyes. A closer look, however, reveals a forked tongue, pointed teeth, and scaly patches on the neck and limbs.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Yuan-Ti Pureblood</div> <div class="CR">CR 5 (1,600 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Monster Manual pg. 263</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> CE Medium Monstrous Humanoid (psionic) **Init** +5 **Senses** darkvision 60 ft.; **Perception** +9 #### defense **AC** 18, 12 touch, 16 flat-footed (+3 armor, +1 Dex, +1 dodge, +1 natural, +2 shield) **hp** 22 (4d10) **Fort** +1, **Refl** +5, **Will** +4 **Feint** 14, **Demoralize** 14 #### offense **Speed** 30 ft. **Melee** mwk scimitar +5 (1d6/18-20) **Space** 5 ft., **Reach** 5 ft. **Spell-Like Abilities** (CL 4th, Concentration +5) > **At will**— _detect poison_ > **1/day**— _animal trance_, _cause fear_, _darkness_, _entangle_ #### statistics **Str** 11, **Dex** 13, **Con** 11, **Int** 12, **Wis** 10, **Cha** 12 **BAB** +4, **CMB** +4, **CMD** 16, **TA** +4, **RTA** +5 **Feats** [[Alertness]]^B, [[Blind-fight]]^B, [[Dodge]], [[Improved Initiative]] **Skills** Disguise +5, Knowledge (history) +5, Perception +9, Spellcraft +5, Stealth +8 **Languages** Abyssal, Common, Yuan-ti **SQ** alternate form (viper, _beast shape ii_) #### tactics Purebloods are the least intelligent of the yuan-ti, though they still pride themselves on being more intelligent than humans. Purebloods often disguise themselves as humans and work among them as spies for their abomination masters. #### ecology **Terrain** Warm Forests **Organization** Solitary, pair, gang (3–4), troupe (2–13 purebloods, 2–5 halfbloods, and 2–4 abominations), or tribe (20–160 purebloods, 10–80 halfbloods, and 10–40 abominations) **Treasure** Double **Advancement** By character class The yuan-ti are descended from humans whose bloodlines have been mingled with those of snakes. Their evilness, cunning, and ruthlessness are legendary. Yuan-ti constantly scheme to advance their own dark agendas. They are calculating and suave enough to form alliances with other evil creatures when necessary, but they always put their own interests first. All yuan-ti possess some snakelike features, and many have snake body parts. Yuan-ti purebloods appear human at first glance, with only very subtle snakelike features. A pureblood is about the same height and weight as a human.
