📋 About This Mod
If you like my older, more human looking yuan-ti mod, don't worry, it's not going anywhere. This is just a new take based newer artwork from WotC that depicts yuan-ti purebloods as being more visibly snake-like than before.
CHARACTER CREATION:
-
[]BT1 and BT2 are available.[/]
[]Each body type has 6 heads to choose from. I tried to add a variety of facial traits, while also keeping them all snake-like.[/]
[]There are lots of colour schemes to pick from, using dragonborn skin shaders. However, it is important to note that the icon colours don't always match up with the actual appearance. So my suggestion would be, if you want blue for example, make sure you run through all the blues before deciding based on the icon colour.[/]
-
[]You know the Poison Spray cantrip.[/]
[]Magic Resistance – You have advantage on Saving Throws against spells and other magical effects.[/]
[]Poison Resilience – You have Advantage on Saving Throws you make to avoid or end the poisoned condition on yourself. You also have Resistance to Poison damage.[/]
[]Darkvision – You can see in the dark up to 12m.[/]
-
[]Any hair mods that use the shared visuals technique for humanoids rather than individual visuals per race will work, like my Hair Collection and Myky's Hairstyles for example.[/]
[]UTAV / KAVT is not compatible, and I doubt it can be because of the way this mod is built conflicts with the shaders.[/]
-
[]No tattoos or scars.[/]
[]Most of the heads use vanilla skeletons, so facial piercings will not be aligned properly. Earrings should work just fine, though![/]
[]There is a little part of the back left leg where the textures are blurred. I might try to fix this later, but for now it's not a huge concern.[/]
