Declarable	Yes

Serpent's Kiss is a Adept Primalism feat.

"Something cold and old uncoils behind your eyes. Your movements slow to liquid precision. Your fingernails aren't fangs, but they're close enough. The venom isn't magical. It's the concentrated distillation of every poisonous thing you've ever eaten, refined by a body that remembers being a predator that kills with a single bite."

Activation

You channel the serpent aspect before or during combat and land a connecting melee strike.

Effect

Activate Serpent Aspect BUFF on a connecting melee strike: your movements become fluid and evasive (+2 EVASION while it holds). The struck target must make a Constitution save (DC 13) or suffer Serpent Venom: poison damage over time spreading through their veins. Channeling the venom drains you: a Drained DEBUFF, -1 Constitution, as the body pays the price of borrowing something inhuman.
