Shade Blooded Serpent - Yuan-ti Shadow Magic Sorcerer

Art from thegreencarousel.tumblr.com

This was an idea that came to me tonight. Yuan-ti are sort of pure breeding. The child of a Yuan-ti pureblood and any other humanoid will also be a Yuan-ti pureblood. There are likely some variations based on the non-human races but it occurs to me that the Shadar-kai are also human-descended and occasionally have been prone to seeking ways to infiltrate societies, or at least they had that tendency in earlier editions. I haven't seen much of the current lore on them yet. So I had the wonder about what would happen with a Yuan-ti and a Shadar-kai had a child.

It's pretty easy to figure out from a mechanical perspective. You could either have Shadar-kai with a class that allowed for picking up a lot of the snake-like abilities of a Yuan-ti, or a Yuan-ti with some of the Shadar-kai shadowy stuff. Since I don't have the Shadar-kai stats yet, I'm, going to be doing the second one. I could have done this with a few different ways. The Shadow Monk, Arcane Trickster Rogue, maybe an Eldritch Knight Fighter, the Gloomstalker Ranger, and so on. But I'm going to go with a Shadow Magic Sorcerer.

I am going to focus her on powers of deception, illusion, and mental influence and I'm going to mark her as the Spy variant of the Criminal Background. Charlatan was another option for this, but Criminal does give her the Thieves Tools proficiency as well.

D&D 5e Class Traits

These lists are not meant to substitute for knowledge of the game or possession of the books. The terms and categories are subjective. They also do not rate the capability of each trait in the category it is placed in just that it is has the ability to be used for that purpose. For example, the Web spell can be used to deal damage when it is set on fire so it is included under the Damage category, but it is not particularly useful for damage dealing.

Some things:

Why are there categories on some classes that aren't on others? - Partially because I haven't standardized everything yet, but most of it is reasonably the same sort of thing.

What is Area Denial? Any effect that discourages or outright prevents creatures from entering an area. This can be causing the area to become Difficult Terrain as with Ice Storm, dealing damage to targets in the area as with Wall of Fire, or just preventing passage as with Wall of Force. The effect can be mobile, like Flaming Sphere, or stationary, like Plant Growth.

Why aren't Cantrips included in the Increased Effectiveness with Higher Level Slots categories? - Because you don't cast Cantrips with spell slots. The effectiveness of damage-dealing Cantrips increase based on Character Level automatically.

Why do you note which spells are Ritual on a classes that aren't Ritual Casters? - Because it is possible to get the Ritual Caster ability from another source such as the Ritual Caster feat or multiclassing.

Why is Wish on the Sorcerer list in its own category? - Because it's Wish.

What is a subclass? - For those that are new to 5e, the prestige classes from 3.x have been basically wrapped up into basic function of the class. Each class has several sub-classes and one of these is chosen between levels 1 and 3 dependent on which class it is. (Sorcerers, Clerics, and Warlocks choose at 1st Level. Druids choose at 2nd Level. The other classes choose at 3rd level.)

Why don't you less to-hit rates for the classes? - Attack accuracy is based on character level in 5e rather than differing from class to class. A character has a Proficiency Bonus which they add to any Skill, Saving Throw, or Attack with which they have proficiency. The Proficiency Bonus starts at +2 and caps out at +6 at level 17. Martial classes have other ways to stand out in their fighting ability such as the Extra Attack trait that most of them have.

Why did you use the PHB ranger instead of the revised ranger? - I prefer the Revised Ranger but decided to start with what WotC considers official and they have abandoned the Revised Ranger that they released on Unearthed Arcana. Mike Mearls has been toying with revising Ranger again, but the stuff he does on his stream is not always official so I do not know if we will be getting an official revision.
