in complete psionic, there are the manifester level for the yuan-ti but not for the tainted one.

What is the manifester level for tainted one, please ?

Thanks for your future answer.

There aren't any yuan-ti mentioned in Complete Psionic. You are no doubt thinking of the Expanded Psionics Handbook. This does not cover the Tainted One.

For the record, yuan-ti tainted ones are not even covered in the monster manual. Thus, if whatever book they were discussed in didn't mention their psionic abilities, Wizards didn't see fit to address it. They do this a lot, neglecting psionic support.

05-11-07, 07:00 AM The Tainted Ones to my knowledge are discussed only in Savage Species and their psionics abilities are basically the following:

Poison (fort save vs. DC of 13 + tainted one's Con modifier) and Polymorph Self (into snake or snakelike forms only).

These effects are said in the book to be created "through the power of its mind as a sorcerer of its character level" and are under the heading of Psionics [Sp]

Aaah, possible, yes. I don't own Ghostwalk unfortunately though, but I assume they have the same thing, poison and polymorph into snake forms

And in Races of Faerūn and Monsters of Faerūn. None of which mention any manifester level, though.
