The SendingStone review

The Swarm of Poisonous Snakes is a formidable foe with a Challenge Rating of 2 and immunity to several debilitating conditions. While its AC is not particularly high, its sheer numbers and ability to inflict poison damage can quickly overwhelm unprepared adventurers. However, it is important to note that the swarm is unaligned, meaning it lacks any specific motivation or goal beyond survival and self-preservation. Ultimately, the Swarm of Poisonous Snakes is a dangerous encounter that requires careful planning and strategy to overcome.
