Reptilians v. 2.0?

[alex_greene]

Would anyone like me to release a new version of Reptilians of Legend? I'm looking at increased player character and Games Master options for our scaly friends, along with a few new surprises altogether.

I gave orcs a pretty good treatment in The Blood Path, and I hope I did them honour - I just want to give Saurians, Lizard Folk and Serpent People the same treatment.

Among other things I have lined up: Saurian deities and cults; Lizard Folk shamanism; Serpent People cults and orders. Typical spells, including sorcery spells I'm borrowing from my contribution to Spells of Legend and a few ideas I'm borrowing from Arcania of Legend: Blood Magic.

For all of them, more detailed information on cultural backgrounds, career options and so on.

And perhaps new stuff altogether, and maybe - with a little inspiration - a surprise or two.

Anyone interested in this?

Yes.

The Monster island book for Runequest has all these already. The lizardmen are shamans while the higher race are serpent men and sorcerers. There's lots of weird cults, new spells, gods, spirits and new cultures for these. So I dont personally need anything more for serpent men and lizard men. Would this be a free book or a $5 pdf like the orc book?

I'm releasing v.2.0. as a free book, same as its predecessor.

And the sort of thing I'm going to put into the book kind of answers questions such as "What do they worship? How do they worship? What do they expect their gods to give them?" from the reptilians' point of view. Also, why you should never get on the wrong side of a reptilian god.

Or even get onto their radar at all.

I would certainly check that out. For my sis campaign.

 

[Prime_Evil]

I'm interested too

Free is even better, but a cheap revised PDF would be almost as good.

Don't forget to credit Russell and Séguin for the 'Dinosauroid'.

THERE's the names I was after!

You wouldn't believe how long I was trying to get the original creators' names. Serious Google fu fail on my part.

Of course, now you've given me the names, Google works just fine.

Here's one of the new things I wanted to put into the book.

Primordial Appearance
Saurians can range in appearance from near-human to a savage, monstrous form more akin to a dinosaur. All Saurians can alter their bodies to more atavistic forms.
These alterations include:
- Digitigrade: Saurian feet change, going from walking on the soles like humans to walking on one's toes like birds. This increases Speed by +2.
- Tail: Saurians have a tiny vestigial tail. With this alteration, the tail swells and becomes a long, massive, heavy club that increases balance and allows a Tail Bash Unarmed Combat Manoeuvre.
- Brow Ridge: Saurian foreheads thicken into a bony plate, giving extra damage to a headbutt Unarmed Combat Manoeuvre as if his DM were two steps higher.
- Frill: A leathery neck frill creates an intimidating display. The Saurian wins surprise in the round.
- Feathers: Dampen sounds made by the Saurian's movement, increasing Stealth by +20%. The Saurian cannot fly without the use of some sort of magic.
All these changes require 1 CA each. Each change must be made separately. The Saurian requires only 1 CA to drop any or all of his alterations.

Now picture a very large SIZ 40 Queen Caste entering a battle - and yes, they will be able to enter battle - with all her modifications showing.

Just hope she's decided that she's going to be on your guys' side this time.
