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

Additional Abilities

WARNING BEWARE Of Ka Chakra from Wandslingers WARNING
This will very rapidly drain all your Chakras to 0 in favor of the Ka Chakra
The Snake Chakra charge ability does NOT work when Ka Chakra exists
This is 100% a Nerf to your character, activating it is highly inadvisable

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:

  • Ambidexterity (Not sure on this, apparently Zuth has this already. Can anyone confirm?)
