Yuan-ti start as surfacers

Post by In Sorrow We Trust »

Supposedly Yuan-ti are supposed to start in Andunor, which is not the case. We start in any surface settlement, and have no access to portals. We do not get Undercommon as a language, either, because of this bug.

It was suggested I make a thread, so here we are!

Yuan-ti are not supposed to start in Andunor. They also have never been able to start in Andunor as far as I know.

According to this page, they start in Andunor. Perhaps the page needs to be updated? http://wiki.nwnarelith.com/Category:Race

I made one of the first ones and they could for the first 6 months at least start in Andunor for what it's worth.

Fair enough. They are supposed to be a surface race that should be able to be outcasted by DMs if they are found out (or start there by default). I always wanted to get the outcast tag if mine was ever found out but I never got that far.

As far as scripts considering them surface or UD, they are considered surface.

Good to know, thankyou. I'll keep that in mind next time I make one.

Any DM / dev / admin statement on whether this is a bug and yuan-ti players should expect it to be fixed, or is it intended and we need to get outcast tags?

It’s not a bug.

See above from Xerah.

They have the ability to blend in with surface races. They are a monstrous surface race. This is similar to how Rakshasa are handled.

For them to have UD access, they would need the Outcast background tagged to them.
