Lizardfolk Blood Savage
Lizardfolk are one of the numerous humanoid races who do not have the spark of civility. They are of crocodilian ancestry, with strong, agile forms and barren hearts. They tend to like warmer, wetter climes, although that is certainly not a hard rule, and there are reputed to be tribes and even nations of Lizardfolk tucked away all over the world, in every clime, wherever they find a way to prosper.
Blood Savages are the warriors of the lizardfolk societies, collecting prisoners for sacrifice, gathering food and defending the territories of the tribe. Blood savages are expert soldiers, and take great pride in their martial abilities. They are prideful, and highly respected by their tribesmen. Lizardfolk have a complex honor code, though its allowances for brutal murder, and nearly constant resolution of problems through violence makes the code nearly incomprehensible to outsiders.
Most lizardfolk weapons and armor are made from natural materials, such as bone and leather, and metals are highly prized. Skilled blacksmiths capable of working these metals are treated like nobility in the tribes.
Combat Tactics
Lizardfolk Blood Savages, while perfectly competent at stealth, will rarely attack from ambush as they consider it dishonorable. Instead they use stealth to observe potential prey and if they decide they are likely to be victorious, they will creep close to be in melee range, emerge from hiding, announce themselves, and then attack. This means that if they gain a surprise round, they will not use it.
In combat lizardfolk will attempt to sneak up and then use their poisoned terbutjes to cut down their opponents. If victorious, they will tend the wounds of their prey, bind them, and take them back to their city. The prisoners are then given to the Blood Acolytes for sacrifice to the gods to ensure the sun comes up again tomorrow.
Out of Combat
Lizardfolk gather in large tribal communities and even raise up minor nation states, most commonly building cities in deep jungle where a good fresh water source is available. These cities can grow quite massive, and always feature one or more prominent ziggurats, similar to the stepped-pyramids of the Aztecs. These huge temples are occupied by the Blood Acolytes, who perform daily sacrifices to purchase another day from the gods of darkness.
Lizardfolk cities are often surrounded by many acres of farmland, where crops and livestock are tended to provide food for the tribe. Fresh game animals are also brought in by the Blood Savages to supplement the food supplies, and to provide leather and bone for tools and clothing.
All Lizardfolk feel an affinity with Drakes and Wyverns, and will often have them around as guard animals or huge scary 'pets'.
