Serpent’s Embrace

Serpent’s Embrace overview

You can choose the Serpent’s Embrace Starfield trait from 17 options during the Starfield character creation screen. Upon finalizing your character and leaving the character creator menu, you will no longer be able to pick up additional traits like Serpent’s Embrace if you didn’t select it the first time around. You can get around this limitation by using a Starfield console command, but not without disabling Starfield achievements.

Fortunately, Starfield allows you to remove traits by speaking with trait-specific NPCs, so you can always remove the Serpent’s Embrace trait if you find it counter-productive, or not as much fun as you thought.

Talk about being restless! Throughout your Starfield playthrough, you’ll encounter Artifacts, murderous pirates, and a host of hostile worlds, only now you’ll be hurling yourself from system to system with greater frequency or face a debuff. However, this trait will also save you in a pinch should you encounter the religious zealots of the House Va’ruun.

in-game description

You grew up worshipping the Great Serpent. Grav jumping provides a temporary boost to health and endurance, but health and endurance are lowered if you don’t continue jumping regularly – like an addiction. (Can’t be combined with any other religion trait.)
