Sharpspine
Sharpspine Lizardfolk are the closest thing to the ancient Crocodilians, that the Lizardfolk bred in their pits to fight off invasions of their own kin, as well as strangers, that dare try to take their territory. Quills and spikes grow from their body during combat or while they are in danger, giving them the edge during fight or flight situations. Ability Scores: Con +1 Cornered Beast. Some sharpspine members can use their quills and spikes to eject them in times of need. Whenever you take damage or a creature moves within 5ft. of you, using a reaction, you can eject all of your spikes in a 5ft. radius around you, dealing 1d4 + Constitution modifier in damage to each creature in range. Once you have used this ability, you can't do so until you finished a short or long rest. In addition, all other sharpspine traits can't be used until you finish a short or long rest. Dangerous Foe. If you are wearing no armor, using your Natural Armor trait, creatures that attack and hit you in melee take piercing damage equal to your Constitution modifier(minimum of 1). Sink and Sting. Whenever you attack a creature with your bite attack and hit, using a bonus action, you can eject your spines into the creature's body. The creature then takes additional 1d4 piercing damage and is considered grappled by you. On subsequent turns, you can use your bonus action to deal additional 1d4 piercing damage, as long as the creature is grappled. While you grapple a creature in this way, you can't use your other sharpspine racial traits and releasing the grapple halves your movement for that turn. Once you have used this feature, you can't do so until you finish a short or long rest.
