Serphidians were specialty priests devoted to Sseth, the World Serpent.[1]
Activities[]
Serphidians spent much of their time hunting or courting government officials to widen their sphere of corruption.[1]
Abilities[]
These individuals were always humans, ophidians, spirit nagas, yuan-ti (with the exception of histachii), or any other reptilian race. Regardless of their race, all serphidians' eyes became slitted like a snake as soon as they joined the priesthood.[1]
Serphidians were immune to every type of reptilian venom. They also gained immunity to all poisons as they progressed through the ranks. Serphidians also enjoyed a variety of magical abilities including speak with reptiles, sleep, sticks to snakes, snake skin, animal summoning II, and vipergout. Particularly powerful serphidians could shapechange into a giant constrictor snake, boalisk, or amphisbaena.[1]
Possessions[]
Serphidians typically wore scale mail. They were not restricted in the type of weapons they could wield.[1]
