Yuan-ti Pureblood
Despite being the lowliest of their race, yuan-ti purebloods are still kickass snake-people.
In some more human contexts, the term "pureblood" has been applied as a mark of superiority over others. Not so for the yuan-ti. The most human-like of their race, purebloods are often scorned by other yuan-ti for their weak bloodline and lack of power.
Yuan-ti purebloods are very similar to humans in appearance, with certain serpentine traits including thin lips, narrow eyes with slitted pupils, and forked tongues. Imagine Lord Voldemort as an NPC and that about does it. Purebloods speak the language of their race, Yuan-ti, which typically involves a great deal of hissing and rattling noises that require a forked tongue to execute. Many also learn Common in order to better blend into foreign areas, but the snake-like quality of their voices is unmistakable.

- Medium: As Medium creatures, yuan-ti purebloods gain no bonuses or penalties based on size.
- Yuan-ti base land speed is 30 feet.
- Alternate Form (Ex): A yuan-ti has the ability to transform into a viper at will as a swift action. In order to adopt the form, the yuan-ti must possess a number of Hit Dice equal to twice that of the viper.
