You are a Humanoid.

You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.

You have claws that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

You have tough, scaly skin. When you aren’t wearing armor, your base AC is 13 + your 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 possess well-protected earholes. You have advantage on saving throws against effects that require hearing. You also have resistance to thunder damage.

Several saurial subraces exist, although only four - namely the bladebacks, finheads, flyers, and hornheads - are known to dwell in the world of Toril. Choose one of these subraces.

Bladeback

Bladebacks are the most straightforward and trusting of the saurial subraces. They enjoy company, and always find time to socialize. Slow to anger, bladebacks work hard to understand the motives of others, but they are passionate once they have been pushed to the point of aggression. Bladebacks are typically tall, standing about seven feet, with stocky frames and friendly faces. They are named after their most prominent feature: large, sharp scales that jut along their spines, extending from the tops of their heads to the end of their almost body-length tails.

Socialite

Razor Tail

You can use your razored tail to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with it, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike with your razor trail as a bonus action. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Finhead

Finheads tend to be alert, bright, active, curious, and highly emotional. They are good with their hands and are willing to perform almost any sort of hard labor. Most believe in ultimate good and evil, seeing things in terms of black and white. To finheads, there is one truth - they tend to defend that truth with every muscle in their bodies. Finheads are enthusiastic about new tasks and adventures, and they often leap into dangerous situations before fully understanding them. Even so, their ability to think quickly on their feet allows them to assess situations within moments. Finheads are closest in shape to humans, though slightly shorter, standing above five feet tall. A pronounced fin sweeps from this saurial's head, and it has a tail that is a little more than half the length of its body.

Sure-Footed

Flyer

Flyers are small, averaging just three feet in height. They have delicate frames, small legs, short tails, and flaps of scale-covered skin hanging from each arm. This skin serves as wings, giving these saurials the ability to fly. On the ground they are clumsy and ill at ease, but in the air they are graceful and fluid. They are full of nervous energy, constantly on the move and bouncing around. Flyers flee when danger presents itself, almost on reflex, though they will return if they are needed in a fight.

You are Small.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 20 feet.

Flight

Because of your wings, you have a flying speed of 40 feet. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor. In addition, you don't provoke opportunity attacks when you fly out of an enemy's reach.

Nimble Escape

You can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.

Hornhead

Hornheads are the largest of the saurials, standing several heads taller than the average human with tails that stretch longer than their bodies. Sharp horns protrude from their heads and the great bony plates at their necks, giving this saurial race its name. Hornheads tend to be careful, rational planners. Thy choose their words carefully and avoid taking action without prior contemplation. Most are interested in alchemy, engineering, and other mental pursuits, and many also enjoy physical tasks requiring discipline, such as blacksmithing and weaponsmithing. Hornheads seldom fight without first considering all their options - including nonviolent ones. If pressed into combat, they don't hesitate to use their size and strength to advantage.

You are Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Horns

You have horns that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier piercing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Goring Rush

If you move at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, you can immediately follow that attack with a bonus action, making one attack against the target with your horns.

Sharpened Mind

You have proficiency with one type of artisan's tool of your choice. Whenever you make an Intelligence check or saving throw, or a check with the chosen tool, roll a d4, and add the number rolled to the check’s total.
