Saurial

5 variants

Mild mannered despite their fearsome dinosaur like appearances, Saurials are a welcome neighbor to most races. Their subraces are varied but closely knit even though they have little in common physically. Each is a fiercesome threat even if they are unarmored and unarmed with powerful natural weapons.

Warm Blooded and Magical

Unlike most scalykind, Saurials are warmblooded. They do not maintain heat well and prefer warmer climates. In addition, they are very magically inclined people. Many Paladins, Clerics, Sorcerers, and Wizards emerge from the Saurial population. They are often favored by nature gods or are close with the Weave. They are quick to catch on to the subtleties of magic and incorporate magic into their lives and communities to better them.

Scalykind, Dragonfolk, Dinosaur People

Saurials have many names due to their exotic appearances. They are intelligent bipedal humanoids who descended from dinosaur-like creatures of an unknown plane. They come in a variety of forms. All the Saurial types possess fine brightly colored scales of various hues from tan brown to green and aquamarine. The scales on their backs form patterns unique to each subrace. Each of the Saurial types occasionally produced individuals born with albinism. All have sharp claws and tails, but otherwise their bodies are considerably different. They share little more than a common ancestor and a language.

Separate but United

Though it has been many centuries since they came to the material plane, they are still fundamentally refugees from their home plane. Each of the saurial subraces treats each other with equality and respect, using each group's natural talents to maximize the community's accomplishments. None of the different subraces of saurials can interbreed, however, most households were homogeneous. They befriend others with ease and only rarely make enemies, though they are quick to respond if there is an obvious danger. Mates and siblings shared much stronger bonds than other humanoids and protected one another from harm whenever possible.
