Description
This race is rarely seen, preferring to hide in the shadows as the leader of fanatic humans. Most primitive races that meet the Boa-men immediately are killed or appoint the Boa-man as their new supreme leader. This suits the Boa-men just fine, because they relish the attention and power they are given and instantly begin to expand their territory. Using their strength and intelligence to devise complex plans, they systematically destroy all that oppose them. Brutal and cruel, they wage war on all races in their domain. “If you are not an ally, you are an enemy”…is their motto.
No more than two Boa-men will be met at one time, and then they are a mated pair. They are never without their pets, a swarm of 22+ writhing snakes (both venomous and constricting). Using any weapon available, they are inclined to use a Falchion sword or Scimitar. They never wear armor or shields and rarely don coverings of any kind.
Combat
Planners by heart, Boa-men prefer to lead lesser monsters, by posing as supreme beings. They hang to the rear of combat sending fanatic followers in to battle, hoping to wear down the enemy with wave after wave replaceable troops.
Spell-like Abilities: 1/day- Animal friendship, Cause fear, Charm person or animal, Deeper darkness, Neutralize poison and Speak with animals. These spells are cast as if by a 11th level Sorcerer.
