(Note: This bond was updated Jan 1st, 2023 as per change 8103. So, some of the below is old and needs updating.)

[edit]
Bonding Requirements
20 Elder lore - More than just this is required, had 67 elder lore and could not bond until after I raised poison lore to 17.
Elder Lore alone does not appear to be enough. 52 on a new character also required 10 poison lore to bond a snake.
- Bond Assim Skill is Elder Lore
- Upping Elder Lore from 36->313 gives ~11% Assim Speed, so roughly 1% every 25 points (remember bond assim is based on unmodified not modified skills)
- Skills that do NOT impact Bond Assim

Midway Very-Frail:
- Snakes will periodically open and charge your chakras, all at once. The stronger the bond, the higher the charge.
- At Complete bond the chakra charges are enough to top off and get traits like Paravision and Paraneurism
- Ioun Stones work better w/ a Snake Bond, but the benefit is VERY small due to Ioun Stones giving very little base benefit, therefore the subsequent buff is small
- Ioun Stones are buffed 1% per 10% of bond strength up to Complete, so at 100% your +30 to a Skill would then be +33
- Ioun Stone buffs do scale post 100% bond but it is not 1:1, i.e. if you have 200% total bond Strength (so 100% over which is a ton) it's not going to 2x the benefit, more like half or 5%. So that +33 would be like +34 or +35.
Before Resilient:
