Alternate Form: A lamia matriarch has a single humanoid form that she can assume as a standard action—most lamia matriarchs have human, elven, or half-elven alternate forms. Their appearance in this form is identical from the waist up to their serpentine form, yet in humanoid form the lamia matriarch is Medium sized (–4 Strength, +1 Dexterity, –2 Constitution, -1 Natural Armor, +1 Combat, -2 Toughness), cannot use her Wisdom drain attack, has a base speed of 30 feet, and loses her climb and swim speeds.


Wisdom Drain: A lamia matriarch drains 3 points of Wisdom each time she hits with her melee touch attack. If she strikes a foe with a melee weapon in addition to the weapon’s normal damage, she drains 1 point of Wisdom instead. Unlike with other kinds of ability drain attacks, a lamia matriarch does not heal damage when she uses her Wisdom drain.


Skills: Lamia matriarchs have a +4 racial bonus on Bluff and Acrobatics checks. A lamia matriarch has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. She can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. She also has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks even if rushed or threatened.
