A suggestion for a yuan ti character
If you were a yuan-ti, wounded in a battle, left for dead but not killed yet
and a servant of a certain good god came
and she healed you
thinking that you are more than what meets the eye
who is the God of that servant
and which god would be appealing enough for a fleeing Yuan-ti that is trying to escape/or not make himself known to be in a certain place or location?Last edited by Entessa; 2022-06-21 at 03:24 PM.

Re: A suggestion for a yuan ti character
A lot depends on where you are, and who you were before.
For where you are, what pantheons are around? In the Forgotten Realms, it might well be Ilmater, who eases suffering and sees the potential for good. In the Kingdoms of Kalamar, it's probably the Lord of Silver Linings, whose priests dispense healing to those who need it.
But then you also have examples like Drizzt, who became a disciple of Mielikki, because a ranger who healed him was such.The Cranky Gamer

Re: A suggestion for a yuan ti character
Helm. I know Helm is more Lawful than Good, but there are LG clerics of Helm. Specifucally the Watchers of the Fallen are battlefield clerics devoted to healing the wounded so it is very plausible for one of them to heal the wounded Yuan-Ti.
Helm is unemotional and unsympathetic. Which to me fits a Yuan-Ti’s worldview. I can see a YT accepting Helm placing a duty on the YT as a reasonable transaction and one that needs to be fulfilled. This can be used as a carrot to motivate the YT as it can be that the obligation can be discharged by completing a specific task.
Also Helmites will protect the YT if Helm has ordered it regardless of other interests. If the YT backslides into evil ways they risk losing the protection of Helm. Which is the stick to keep the YT on the straight and narrow.Last edited by Pauly; 2022-06-21 at 04:00 PM.

Re: A suggestion for a yuan ti character
It might be too convenient but how about Jazirian, the LG serpent god who created the couatls?

Re: A suggestion for a yuan ti character
My only suggestion for that character is best described by Warren Zevon.

Re: A suggestion for a yuan ti character
If your asking in general a god associated with perhaps commerce or a trade might work. Allows one to blend as a local trades person or crafter of some type. A god associated with death/grave could world, masquerading as a mortician or something to that effect. A knowledge god could work as well, allowing one to be something of a teacher or private tutor which mostly go unnoticed.
But without knowing more can't really help if you without knowing the specifics of setting, etc. you will be playing in.Last edited by GentlemanVoodoo; 2022-06-22 at 10:49 AM.
