Monastic Tradition: Way of the Serpent

These Monk Paths originated in the slave pits of the Yuan-Ti as the slaves modeled their techniques on the methods of their captors. From those chosen for elevation to Pureblood status, the first masters would later hold tournaments to find those most worthy to learn these prestigious arts.

A Serpent might fight with Fangs or with Coils and adherents choose one to master. Those on the Path of Fangs learn to cultivate deadly toxins in their body by mixing Ki and negative emotions. These toxins can be added to a dagger or even spewed several feet away. Those on the Path of Coils develop an inhuman flexibility that allows them to ensnare those they strike and even swallow them whole.
