SPECIAL TRAITS

  • Resistant. The nagaji warrior has advantage on saving throws against poison or becoming charmed or frightened.
  • Serpent Affinity. When the nagaji makes a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check to deal with any sort of reptile beast, it is considered proficient in the skill and adds double its proficiency bonus to the check, instead of its standard proficiency bonus.

  • Spit Venom. (Recharges after Short Rest) Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: The target is blinded for 1 minute unless it succeeds on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. The blinded creature can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

ABOUT

The nagaji are a race of ophidian humanoids with scaled skin that mimics the dramatic appearance of true nagas. Like serpents, they have forked tongues and lidless eyes, giving them an unblinking gaze that most other races find unnerving.

Their physical forms are otherwise humanlike, raising wary speculation about their origins. It is widely believed that true nagas created them as a servitor race, through crossbreeding, magic, or both, and indeed nagaji revere nagas as living gods.

Nagaji often inspire awe and fear among other humanoids, as much for their mysterious ancestry as for their talent for both swords and sorcery.

Most nagaji have scaly reptilian flesh-these scales are typically green, gray, or brown in hue, with colorful ridges of red, blue, or orange on their skulls or backs. Their ears and noses are flat, almost to the point of being nonexistent, while their eyes are those of serpents, ranging widely in color but tending toward golds, reds, yellows, and other warm hues. There are some nagaji who look much more human, with fine scales and even able to grow hair, usually braided to appear more human.

Serpent Society. Nagaji society places honor, devotion, and dedication above all else. Less charitable observers from outside such societies might call the nagaji “born slaves,” but the nagaji do not think of themselves as slaves to their naga overlords and point to the fact that they are free to make their own life decisions. Furthermore, when a naga oversteps its bounds as ruler of its people, the nagaji are no strangers to resistance or outright rebellion.
