Homebrew Gemscale Lizardfolk Species Details

The desert dwelling cousins to the other Lizardfolk, Gemscales have an inherent connection to arcane magics. They are the closest thing to a religious caste in Enduring society.

The average Gemscale is just over five feet tall and a little more than 100 lbs. They have no fins are spines like other lizardfolk and are not particularly adept at swimming like the others. Their claws are good for digging however. Their scales are mostly shining black with swirling patterns of yellow, white, red, orange, blue, or purple mixed in.
