Hello folks,
I have a quick-ish question about a monster ability. For some encounters, I put a Lizardfolk in with some monsters, with the Lizardfolk. From the monster manual, he has multiattack and mostly melee abilities. I was going to adjust both of those, but I want to keep it about the same difficulty level.
First, I switched out the melee attacks for a ranged heavy approach and a much more minor melee.
I switched out the multiattack for a more ranger-esque beastmaster ability: instead of making the second attack, he can get one of the creatures to attack (or move 15') on his behest.
This same Lizardfolk guy is going to be in several encounters. He will be paired with crocodiles (straight from the book) and crabs (leveled up slightly). The crabs are going to focus on grapple and grabbing with their claws (its built into the Crab in the monster manual).
Do you think the retooling of the Lizardfolk is going to make him too strong or difficult? The party currently consists of 3 level 4 adventurers.
