Editing Merrshaulk (section)

===Yuan-ti Cultist===
The main prestige class for servants of Merrshaulk can be found in '''Savage Species''', and unlike the watered down classes that the subsequent incarnations of the deity get ''(see below)'' the Yuan-ti Cultist is pretty awesome.

Firstly, they continue their divine spellcasting progression as normal and gain access to the bonus ''Suffering'' domain granting them new spells and a -2 STR & DEX debug with a touch.

They can also spit poison, do the Moses thing of turning sticks into snakes, and earn psionic powers that can cause increasing damage to enemy targets subject to Will saves, culminating in a Save vs Death ''(and take 6d6 damage if they pass)''.

The best bit about the class is the increasing induction into the inner circles of Merrshaulk's cult, which steadily improves the Cultist's social modifiers with other Yuan-ti, but also allows them to evolve into more powerful forms. Early on they learn a ritual to turn Purebloods into Half-bloods, and later learn another ritual for turning Half-bloods into '''Abominations'''
Eventually, they also become ''Outsiders'' as they become the '''"Voice of Merrshaulk"''', which also comes with Spell Resistance, Telepathic communication and the ability to ''Dominate'' other Yuan-ti.
