Lizardfolk are an ancient people. Their origins are unknown, but there are times when their saurian ancestry expresses itself in unique ways. These lizardfolk change physically as their body adapts them to a more potent form. Other lizardfolk will see these changes as a sign that they are blessed as champions by divine intervention, transformative magic, or the memories of their antecedents.
Reptilian Ascension
Prerequisite: Lizardfolk
You manifest your reptilian ancestry in three ways.
Overlapping Scales. The scales of your skin grow in thickness and overlap with each other providing better natural armor. When you aren’t wearing armor, your base AC is 14 + Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield’s benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.
You can roll or choose from the table below on how this increased armor effects your appearance.
| d6 | Appearance |
|---|---|
| 1 | You sprout colorful feathers from the crest of your head to the tip of your tail. |
| 2 | A pattern of diamond shapes appears on your skin in a metallic hue. |
| 3 | Your claws and teeth become the color of a polished gemstone of your choosing. |
| 4 | Expanding in size, your crest becomes a frill that flares out from your neck when you are angered. |
| 5 | Gills form on your neck and webbing appears between your fingers and toes. |
| 6 | Your snout elongates and becomes triangular in shape like an alligator’s. |
Amphibious. You breathe air and water.
Toxic Bite. Your bite attack deals extra poison damage equal to your proficiency modifier.
