So how would using tasha's custom lineage with a lizardfolk work? would it basically have all the same perks but with a reworked stat boost and a bonus feat or would it wipe some of them?

It is interchangeable through stats chosen features like a replacement rather than a rework. It will wipe some of the base features out for ones of your choice.
Custom Lineage is a race, not a variation of an existing race
CUSTOM LINEAGE
Instead of choosing one of the game’s races for your character at 1st level, you can use the following traits to represent your character’s lineage, giving you full control over how your character’s origin shaped them:
Creature Type. You are a humanoid. You determine your appearance and whether you resemble any of your kin.
Size. You are Small or Medium (your choice).
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice increases by 2.
Feat. You gain one feat of your choice for which you qualify.
Variable Trait. You gain one of the following options of your choice: (a) darkvision with a range of 60 feet or (b) proficiency in one skill of your choice.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for your character.
Your race is considered to be a Custom Lineage for any game feature that requires a certain race, such as elf or dwarf.
Now if you meant “Customizing your Origin” then you are a Lizardfolk but you can put your ASI’s where you want as well as swapping out languages and any proficiencies:
So if you take custom Lineage you are that, not a Lizardfolk. Although you can call yourself a Lizardfolk, look like a Lizardfolk etc but you would only have the custom lineage stats and none of the Lizardfolk race stats.
No problem. You’re not the first, and probably not the last, to ask such questions. There was some confusion on this when it first came out and WotC had to clarify some things like the last part of Custom Lineage that I bolded, underlined, as some thought that you could be a custom lineage elf and still take Elven Accuracy feat (they clarified you can’t)
Ask as many questions as you need, it’s what these forums are for 😊
yea, just wanted a lizardman with +2 charisma and the feytouched feat to get misty step and access to sleep... i have bad experiences with unbalanced encounters.

Free feat at level 1 AND other racial features, ask your DM. I like giving a free feat/supernatural gift at level 1, it was suggested in the Theros book.

Thank you for the clarification, don't really get a lot of time to delve a lot into this stuff anymore so i've been behind on the updates.

+2 to charisma, no problem (see: custom origin).
