Age
Lizardfolk reach maturity around age 14 and rarely live longer than 60 years.
Alignment
Most lizardfolk are neutral. They see the world as a place of predators and prey, where life and death are natural processes. They wish only to survive, and prefer to leave other creatures to their own devices.
Size
Lizardfolk are a little bulkier and taller than humans, and their colorful frills make them appear even larger. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet, and you have a swimming speed of 30 feet.
Hold Breath
You can hold your breath for up to 15 minutes at a time.
Deimatic Display
Whenever a Frilled Lizardfolk is threatening someone, attempting to influence another's opinion, or otherwise in a heightened emotional state, the frill involuntarily opens. This is largely beneficial when attempting to frighten an enemy away or impress a potential mate, but makes lying incredibly difficult to conceal. As a result, whenever a frilled lizardfolk attempts an Intimidate or Persuasion skill check, it can add 1d4 to its roll. However, Deception checks are made with a 1d8 penalty.
Bite
Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Natural Armor
You have tough, scaly skin. When you aren't wearing armor, your 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.
Hunter's Lore
You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Nature, Perception, Stealth, and Survival.
Languages
You can speak, read, write Common and Draconic.
