Lizardfolk Variant (Frilled-Neck)

Your Dungeon Master might allow these variant traits for the Lizardfolk race, found in the Volo's Guide to Monsters supplement, page 111. These traits replace the Lizardfolk's Ability Score Increase, Bite, Cunning Artisan and Hungry Jaws traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score Increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.


Aquaplaning. While you are not wearing medium or heavy armor, you can use the Dash action to traverse across water as though it were solid ground. Ending your turn on a liquid surface, or otherwise halting your movement there, causes you to sink as normal.


Caustic Venom. You know the poison spray cantrip. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

Starting at 5th level, when you target a creature with this spell, you may choose to have it roll the saving throw at advantage. If the creature succeeds on the saving throw, it takes half damage in stead of avoiding damage entirely. If both die rolls would result in the creature failing the saving throw, they are also considered to be under the effect of a blindness spell.

When the blindness ends, an affected creature becomes immune to this secondary effect for twenty four hours.


Neck Frills. You have frilled flaps of skin attached to your neck, which you can use to perform menacing displays. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
