• Extra Parry. The blademaster gets one extra reaction that can only be used to parry an attack.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The naga-folk makes four attacks using any combination of weapon attacks. Alternately, it can also make three weapon attacks plus one constrict attack.
• Constrict. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the naga-folk can’t constrict another target.

REACTIONS

• Parry. The naga-folk adds 3 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the naga-folk must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

ABOUT

Naga-folk are humanoids with the lower bodies of large serpents. Their humanoid skin color ranges from a light blue to a deep purple with mostly dark hair colors. Their humanoid features are slim and angular with slightly pointed ears. They have fangs, forked tongues and the eyes of serpents, and they have a second set of arms that protrude from their sides. Their lower body is that of a large serpent with a wide variety of color and pattern ranges. Their movements like serpents in that they often sway from side to side when moving forward. When they rest, they curl up in positions that most humanoids would find uncomfortable.

Society

Naga-folk are matriarchal. They have a caste social system where the individual is born into their role; however, movement between casts is possible.

Jade Weapons

Naga-folk use a pure form of jade that is harder than steel when making their weapons. The only way to shape it is a long process of sanding it down. Thanks to their longevity, this is something they can do, whereas few demihumans would have the time or dedication to work it.

Many of the ruins from their civilization are hidden and extremely hard to find, but that doesn’t stop the naga-folk of today from periodically searching for them.
