Publisher's blurb:
This work introduces the Serutani as a PC race. They were created by the Dersatti and then altered, with their consent, to fight the undead horrors that their former benefactors had become.
To struggle against the prejudices of others is often the lot of the Serutani. Possessing a humanoid torso, serpent lower body and draconic head, a Serutani can be perceived as a monster—especially by those who mistake them for the Yuan-Ti.
As always, the use of a new race/ancestry option is at the discretion of the Dungeon Master.
The Serutani first appeared as the Serutan in my 1985 adventure “Jocann’s Isle” for AD&D. Thanks to Google, I recently learned that “Serutan” is the name of a once widely promoted laxative. The advertising slogan for the product was “read it backwards” since “Serutan” backward is “Natures.” I am old enough that my younger self might have seen the ads on television or perhaps I saw a box of the product at my grandparents’ house. Or maybe it was just a coincidence.
But to avoid any legal woes, I have changed “Serutan” to “Serutani.”
Warning: do not use the Serutani as a laxative.
