Lizardfolk: Blackscale

Overview

The blackscale are the largest and strongest of the lizardfolk, and are also the most aggressive. Their tribes often seek to expand the territory they hold, and kill any creature who gets in their way. They often prefer nightly raids, relying upon their innate darkvision. They are also known for their natural resistance against acid, which some scholars speculate is due to black dragon blood running in their veins. Blackscales have no patience for cunning ploys and setting traps, thinking that these are the tools of smaller, weaker lizardfolk. They prefer to just hit hard.
ability score increase: Your Strength score increases by 1.
age: Lizardfolk reach maturity around age 12 and rarely live longer than 60 years. However, some sharptooth tribes are known to live to be around 80.
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. The more civilized sharptooth lizardfolk follow a code of honor, and tend to be neutral good.
Size: Medium
speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.
