More Varied Lizardfolk

"LIZARDFOLK? IN THE DESERT?" CRIED A MAN incredulously at his companion, "Are you sure this mission wasn't a wild goose chase, Jason?"

"Look, I know it's a little absur-" began Jason, in his defense, only to be interrupted, "A little? It's a godsdammed swamp dwelling monster in the desert!"

"If this is a prank, your drinks on m-" But he was once again interrupted. This time by a large figure digging its way out of the desert sands. A figure with scales.

Raptor

A relatively new breed of lizardfolk, raptors are smaller, leaner and exhibit a noninsignificant amount of feathers.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

Fleet. Your base movement speed is 35 feet.

Glide. If you are not incapacitated or wearing heavy armor, you can extend your feathered arms and glide. When you do so, you can perform the following aerial maneuvers:

• When you fall, you can move up to 5 feet horizontally for every 1 foot you descend.
• When you would take damage from a fall, you can use your reaction to reduce the fall's damage to 0.

Raptor Charge. Your reflexes and agility allow you to move with a burst of speed. When you move on your tum in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.

Salamander

After a ritual to rid their kind of their kind's bond to water went awry, some lizardfolk to this day are born with the firey blood of salamanders running through them.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2.

Burning Breath. hen you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of fire in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 fire damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Hot Blooded. You can immerse yourself in molten substances, such as lava, indefinitely with no ill effect.

Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Salamander's Skin. Your extraplanar heritage grants you resistance to fire damage.

Darkvision. 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. Your ties to the Elemental Plane of Fire make your darkvision unusual: everything you see in darkness is in a shade of red.

Spined

Hailing from the arid desert regions of southern of the world, Spined lizardfolk are dangerous survivalists.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 1 and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Desert Born. You're acclimated to deserts. You can go twice as long without food and drink before you gain a level of exhaustion. You're also naturally adapted to hot climates, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Burrower. You can burrow through sand, earth, or mud at a speed of 15 feet.

Cold Blooded. You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.

Defense Curl. You can curl up into a ball as an action. Until you emerge, you gain a +4 bonus to AC, and you have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws. While in your curled up, you are prone, your speed is 0 and can't increase, you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, you can't take reactions, and the only action you can take is a bonus action to stand back up.

Spike Armor. Due to your unusually spikey scaled hide, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your scales provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 13 + your dexterity modifier. Any armour produced for you is a complicated affair, costing twice as much as it normally would.

Additionally, if you grapple another creature, that creature takes 3 points of piercing damage for every round it starts grappled by you.

Spiked Parry. If a creature successfully hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to attempt to block the attack with your arm, your AC increases by 2, if the attack is successfully blocked you take half the damage and the attacker takes 1d4 points of piercing damage. Once you successfully block an attack this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest. You cannot use this ability if you are wearing any sort of armour.
