Singe's Skills for Tehenhauin, the Prophet of Sotek

Description
Aztec mythology is weird, but interesting. To start with, we're already in the fifth world, having lived through several apocalypses - one of which involved jaguars. Through sacrifice was this final world created, and thus must it be sustained - depending on the myth, either sacrifices to be made to Nanahuatzin to keep the sun moving through the sky or to Huitzilipochtli so he could keep up the strength needed to fend of his endless sibling star-demons who seek to devour the Earth. Aztec mythology is also a lot like a heavy metal album cover. The classic 'drag up a temple and cut out their heart' sacrifices were to these two.

Whilst some of the Old Ones have counterparts in Aztec mythology - Tepok & Quetzocoatl, Tlaloc & Tzunki, Huanchi & Tezcatlipoca - Sotek has no clear mirror, smoking or otherwise. Still though, perhaps the closest analogue is Huitzilipochtli, as heart-sacrifice worship god who acts as a latecomer to the pantheon as the patron of a specific group of a greater whole - the Red-Crested Skinks to the Lizardmen as the Mexica were to the Nahua.

Enough banter, Tehenhauin isn't pronounced ten-in-one, no matter how many people insist it is. Also, it's odd that he wields a kris, the only non-macahuitl, tepoztli or spear type weapon the Lizardmen have.

Four skills for the skink who may have lived a very long time. Maybe.
The Red Host renders skinks immune to both contact effects and psychology, so chew on that, Slaanesh and Skaven troops.
Many Fangs of Sotek is good for sending a whole lot of pointy and burny things downrange.
Sotek's Fury gives everyone a charge and damage bonus, befitting the tabletop
Venom of the Serpent God gives Skinks a very nasty d.o.t contact effect, and brings in my old mod giving Jungle Swarm to Tehenhauin himself

I messed around with it in RPFM and unchecked 'Imbue Magical' for 'singe_contact_venom' in the special_ability_phases_tables and it actually worked.

Huh, interesting. I'll look into it.

Hey Singe, I'm not sure if it was intended but the poison (Sotek's Venom!) from the skill Venom of the Serpent God is actually granting those it hits with magical attacks. So its slapping on that DoT + the debuffed stats as well as giving the target magical attacks.
