The Temptress

“So… if you are not one of this city’s lords, who ARE you?” the old Scribe asked, wide-eyed on the revelation.
The lord smiled before he replied, “It would be simpler if I showed you. See, as the years passed, I took several identities. The one of the lord is but my latest of many.”
He grasped his face with his hands, which, to the complete horror of the scribe, detached itself from the man’s skull.
It was a mask, his face had taken the form of a porcelain mask. A mask depicting the soft, smiling face of the lord.
What was the lord’s form morphed into a woman with serpent-like features. She had slit eyes, a forked tongue, and what looked like scales that glinted in the light and yet she was oddly alluring.
Her eyes pierced the very soul of the scribe, who had completely forgotten to write down any of this.
She continued in a voluptuous, sensual tone, “Before I became the lord you admired so much, I was but one exotic dancer in the underworld of this city, a snake charmer and a master of poisons.”

Goals
You are a snake lady, both nightmare and wet dream of so many.
You can shift into a viper, summon snakes to your help and your very touch saps the life force of your foes. This deals tremendous damage, poisons them, and does not remove them from your charms. This enables their rapid and discrete death.
A truly terrifying build that is a fantastic Party Face, an incredible skill monkey, and a powerful damage-dealer.
