4e Furries
 

Hello. I was looking for an idea of how to go about building a humanoid Egyptian Cobra. I know it wouldn't have slithering since it has feet. Likely Enhanced Smell, Membrane, after that I am lost. I also think there is poison.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

Is it cold-blooded?

Re: 4e Furries
 

Yes it is.

While you definitely can do this quite reasonably without it, I would note that there's a book specifically for this (GURPS Furries), but also note that it doesn't have a treatment of humanoid snakes (the closest it has is a Lamia which does have a full snake body).

Well, sure. Snakes aren't furry. :)

Re: 4e Furries
 

How much fury would a furry fan feel if the "furry" facade forms no fur?

Re: 4e Furries
 

Assuming fairly snake-like features, despite the humanoid form, maybe:

Acute Taste/Smell 2 [4]
Cold-blooded [-10]
DR 2, Flexible -20% [8]
Nictating Membrane 2 [2]
Night Vision 2 [2]
Skinny
Teeth (fangs) [2]

The venom is a neurotoxin, sometimes with cytotoxic properties, depending on species. Your Egyptian cobra seems to have pretty nasty venom. So, probably an Affliction that causes incapacitation (Agony), along with probably 1 point of toxic, cyclic (1 minute, +40%) damage... a little reading suggests a cobra bite can cause cardiac arrest or death in as little as half an hour. A human-sized snake could be decidedly more dangerous, of course.

Relative to other furries or humans, a cobra person might be Skinny [-5].

Perk
Cobra Hood
Cobras are both stylish and dangerous-looking. By flaring your hood, you can gain a +1 bonus on Intimidation attempts against a target who finds you potentially physically dangerous.

No Manipulators, which allows you to buy ST and DX at a discount.

There are snake people in Serpents of Legend from Gaming Ballistic. It's for DFRPG, but it can be converted into regular GURPS with nary a problem.

Humanoid, so it has hands.

Possible inspiration might be found from the ST-DS9 Cardassian race. Of course, in the real world, their differences from humans was limited by having to use human actors under all that makeup.
