Jump to: navigation, search

Lizardmen[edit]

Lizardmen are from the jungle continent of Lustria, an ancient and dangerous place that is filled with their Temples Cities and the spawning pools they are born from. They defend this place with their very lives from outside intruders and will stop at nothing to enact the Great Plan of the Old Ones they worship.

Physical Description[edit]

Savage and foreign with unique appearances all Lizardmen stick out in a crowd. Be they any of the subraces from the smaller, more agile Skinks to the bigger and stronger Saurians, even to the largest Kroxigor or the magically adept and more toad-like Slann. Each subrace has it's own unique look and role within the Lizardman society on top of these distinct looks.

History[edit]

Utterly enigmatic, the Lizardmen have been stranded by their creators, the Old Ones, left to contemplate a world irrevocably changed. Over the millennia, the Lizardmen have sought after the clear guidance once supplied by their almighty creators. Against the growing threat of an age-old enemy, the Lizardmen have slowly come to the realization that there is no gain in lamenting a bygone age, and that the time to enact the Great Plan is upon them. From temple-cities and ancient ruins they issue forth, emerging out of the jungle to coldly implement their vision upon the world.

Society[edit]

Lizardmen are found in some of the most extreme environments on the planes they inhabit. Be they ancient swamps, vast deserts, or lost jungles, places like these are what the Lizardmen call home. They are survivalists without peer, and have evolved to be an apex predator. Lizardmen typically adventure for home and tribe or for personal discovery. Friends are family and they will die protecting those they call family. Lizardmen are born from magic pools known as Spawning Pools.

Lizardmen Names[edit]

Lizardmen do not have females. They are all considered male and are born from their spawning pools.

Male: Chetzoc, Otzto'atletl, Yotzauixtach, Ucca'ehgech, Hir-Tloachte'atl, Milhuk

You can make an unarmed attack at an enemy that does 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage. You are considered proficient with this attack.
Single-minded. Saurus are bred purely for war, and care little about the paltry concerns of the warmbloods. Concepts such as greed or lust, while known, are utterly alien to these reptilian soldiers. For this reason, Saurus find it very difficult to build relationships with members of other races beyond those of convenience. Any charm or persuade checks targeting a Saurian are made at disadvantage. In addition, Saurus always roll at disadvantage when trying to charm or persuade.
