Homebrew Advanced Lizardfolk Species Details
Lizardfolk Prophet
This member of the village was hand-selected by the being that the village worships(their deity), and was raised by them to one day return home as a prophet - an intermediary between 'deity' and worshipper.
As such, they were blessed by their god with certain attributes not common to Lizardfolk. This will change dependant to the deity. For example: If the deity is a dragon, perhaps they would give a rare piece of valuable treasure.
A More Present Idol. These Lizardfolk have mostly forsaken the traditional god of Lizardfolk, Semuanya. They bow instead to a powerful, local 'deity' who they will turn to for important decisions. Sometimes a Priest will be put in place by this deity as a kind of 'Prophet' to act as intermediary.
More Civilized Than the Others. After a powerful being took a group of Lizardfolk under their careful guidance and leadership, these Lizardfolk advanced as a culture. They retain the physical and mental attributes of their simpler cousins, but have learned empathy and diplomacy. They do not excel at these, but are more than willing to attempt it, rather than bowing fully to their instinct and cold-blooded logic.
Dragon Worshipers. Lizardfolk speak Draconic, which they are thought to have learned from dragons in ancient times. A tribe that wanders into the territory of a dragon will offer it tribute to win its favor. An evil dragon might exploit lizardfolk for its own vile ends, turning them into raiders and plunderers.
Canny Crafters. Though they aren’t skilled artisans, lizardfolk craft tools and ornamental jewelry out of the bones of their kills, and they use the hides and shells of dead monsters to create shields.
Lizardfolk Leaders. Lizardfolk respect and fear magic with a religious awe. Lizardfolk Prophets lead their tribes, overseeing rites and ceremonies performed to honor the village deity.
