Snakes modeled after real ones should be safe to eat as far as I know, but in a game with giant snakes and chimera and co*ckatrices and stuff, I don't doubt poisonous snakes would exist too......
Note to self: Make a conscrictor snake that excretes toxic slime. Yeesssss.Last edited by ShaydyCharacter: Feb 1, 2019

The listed number is the average of the roll that follows it. As a DM, you can take the average (11 HP in this case) or you can roll (2d8+2 in this case, so 4-18 HP).

Some snakes are venomous, some are poisonous. All can kill you, depending on the treatment of the wound.

I don't understand how this is CR 1/4.
Hit points are comparable to a CR 1/8. Attack bonus +6 is CR 5, expected damage is about 11.75 (factoring in a low DC, but still half damage on a success), CR 1.
As far as numbers go, it should be at least CR 1/2.

I agree, the DEX seems very inflated giving it a high bonus to hit and AC. With, say 15 DEX,it'd be much more in line with other CR 1/2s.

+6 to hit, Highest DPR of any beast, 10-foot reach? 9th level Bard uses a 5th level conjure animals to conjure 16 of them, has them attack and follows up with dissonant whispers to have them all attacktwice each round thereafter to brutalize a single target (who has let's say, a +3 CON and a 14 ac) withan averageof 268.125damage over 2 rounds. with hit/miss and con saves factored.
a 9th level fighter with Great Weapon Master and Action Surge would do 61.5 damage against the same target.

Does failing the save also mean the 'poisoned' condition? Or is it just the damage for poisonous snakes?

Circle of spores druid shifted into a constrictor snake. She just holds the baddie still while the spores in the air around her do their thing.

Venom is a special kind of poison, like a square is a special kind of rectangle. Venom is very specific in its application, which makes it more difficult to apply, but gains the ability to be used offensively.
In the end though, venom is still a type of poison.

Think about it like this DnD elements include poison not venom so they used poison instead. Venom would get confusing. I thought the same thing at first though.
