Section: Snakes – Venomous

Flying snakes grow to 1d3+1 feet in length. They are able to glide by flattening their bodies and “slithering” in the air. A flying snake can stay aloft for up to 1d3+2 rounds, using its move and action die to glide as far as 300 feet. Although in the real world, the venom of flying snakes is negligible in game terms, that does not need to be the case within the campaign milieu. If a flying snake has significant venom, a thief can extract 1d3 doses with a successful DC 10 Handle Poison check. Roll 1d10: 1d10 Result 1-5 Serpent has no significant venom. 6-7 Mild venom.
