Here I am... finally a member of the site simply to see if I can get some help revamping the Lizardfolk for a friend.

+2 Constitution, -2 Charisma
Medium size.
A lizardfolk’s base land speed is 30 feet.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A lizardfolk is automatically proficient with their natural weapons.
Natural Weapons: 2 claws (1d4), tail slap (1d4), and bite (1d4).
Special Qualities: Hold breath (as Lizardfolk [4*Con Mod rounds])
Automatic Languages: Common, Draconic. Bonus Languages: Aquan, Goblin, Gnoll, Orc.
Favored Class: Druid
Level adjustment +0

All I did as of now is reduce the LA to 0, and removed their racial hit dice, feats, skills, natural armor, as well as take away their +2 strength and change intelligence hit to charisma (as a lizard person appears to have a harder time in that department by just looking at them) and gave them a tail slap. As far as mechanical goes, it seems balanced, but still seem a little below par (imo) than other LA +0 base creatures. Anyways any of you could think of to spice it up while keeping some semblance of balance and keeping the overall flavor (you know, lizardy)?

Looks like it's leaning on the good side of LA 0. 4 natural attacks with a bonus to a universally useful stat and a penalty to a frequent dump stat. I'd definitely consider one if I were going to play a close combat bonus damage character. Totemist is a good choice.

Four natural attacks is very optimization-friendly. I'm sure if this were in a book it'd get a lot of use, but I doubt anyone would be calling it broken.

I like it.

but then again it is almost Identicle to what I use for my own 'lizardfolk' subtract your tail slap and draconic as a language, add in a natural armor bonus as well as a swim speed and they are the same.
