Nagaji
The nagaji are a race of ophidian humanoids with scaled skin that mimics the dramatic appearance of true nagas. Like serpents, they have forked tongues and lidless eyes, giving them an unblinking gaze that most other races find unnerving. Their physical forms are otherwise humanlike, raising wary speculation about their origins. It is widely believed that true nagas created them as a servitor race, through crossbreeding, magic, or both, and indeed nagaji revere nagas as living gods. Nagaji often inspire awe and fear among other humanoids, as much for their mysterious ancestry as for their talent for both swords and sorcery.

Nagaji Favored Class Options
Instead of receiving an additional skill rank or hit point whenever they gain a level in a favored class, Nagaji have the option of choosing from a number of other bonuses, depending upon their favored class.
The following options are available to all Nagaji who have the listed favored class.
Alchemist: Add +1 on Craft (alchemy) checks to craft poison and +1/3 on the DCs of poisons the alchemist creates.
Cavalier: Add 1 foot to the base speed of the cavalier’s mount. This has no effect in combat unless the cavalier has selected this reward five times (or another increment of five). If the cavalier ever replaces this mount, the new mount gains this bonus to its speed.
Fighter: Add +1 to the fighter’s CMD when resisting a grapple or trip attempt.
Mesmerist: Add 1/5 to the Hit-Die limit and the total number of Hit Die affected with each enchantment or illusion spell the mesmerist casts. This bonus stacks with the mesmerist’s mental potency class feature and is applicable under the same conditions as that ability.

Oracle: Add 1/6 to the oracle’s level for the purpose of determining the effects of one revelation.
Ranger: Add 1 skill rank to the ranger’s constrictor snake or viper snake animal companion.

Summoner: Add +1 hit point to the summoner’s eidolon.
Warpriest: Add 1/2 to the number of times per day the warpriest can use blessings, although he can use these additional blessings only for Charm, Magic, Nobility, Rune, or Scalykind (Pathfinder Player Companion: Advanced Class Origins 25) blessings.
