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, TBD if there are others (definitely not Poison Lore) (beyond the regular for all bonds)

Combat Maneuvers
Somewhat Frail:
- Coiled Strike
Very Deep:
- Soul Fang
Perform Soul Fang Empathic Bonds Maneuver Usage: perform soul fang [at <target>] Activity Cost For You: Varies on weapon being used (see below) Cost: 10 SP, 10 END Drawing on esoteric and metaphysical knowledge, make a piercing strike that attempts to temporarily disrupt the connection between the body and the spirit.
- Needs piercing weapon like Coiled Strike
- Appears to possibly give SD (need to confirm), but need to hit and do enough damage in order to trigger it
- Attack: Adds Arcane Lore at 1:1.1
- Attack: Adds 60% additional Intellect
- Damage: Adds 22% additional Strength
- Damage: Adds 22% additional Massive Blow
- Activity (Depends on Activity of weapon being used):
- 26->20
- 17->13
- 15->11
- 14->11
- 12->9
Additional Abilities
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 DO work better w/ a Snake Bond, but the benefit is VERY VERY VERY small, possibly because Ioun Stones are almost universally garbage now therefore the bonus is garbage.
Before Resilient:
- Ambidexterity (Not sure on this, apparently Zuth has this already. Can anyone confirm?)
