Editing Inferno (section)

===The Serpent===
Thieves and swindlers, imposters and robbers of all kind are destined to suffer amongst the serpents of the Seventh Bolgia of the Eighth Circle, until they are transformed into ferocious reptiles to torment their kindred in turn. Lost Ones under this Archetype are blindfolded by irremovable veils, bandages or other coverings, but are guided by two golden serpents that coil around their wrists like bangles.

The Emblems of the Serpent are the aforementioned '''Golden Asps''', which will bite ferociously to defend their host, and the ability to invoke the power of a '''Hypnotic Gaze''' and a '''Slithering Form'''.

Rogues who follow the path of the Serpent embrace their Golden Asps as weapons to wield against their victims, and also learn to go beyond the symbolism of theft to its very foundation by stealing life itself from their prey.

When a Serpent Embraces their Sin by spending 2 Hope, their Golden Asps become more potently toxic; a Serpent can Embrace their Sin with the first attack of their turn to cause any creature which takes Poison damage from the Serpent's attacks to be Poisoned until the end of the Serpent's next turn.
