XYTAR RIDER (Fighter)
You aren't like the other Lizardfolk. You want to ride a fire spitting dinosaur into battle. And someone was actually willing to sponsor you!

BABBY XYTAR
At 3rd Level you have been assigned a pet Xytar by the Elders. As an action, you can summon your Xytar once per long rest.

The Xytar appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

The Xytar is friendly to you alone and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Babby Xytar stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the Xytar shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Xytar can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The Xytar manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the Xytar again, or until you die.

MONSTER HANDLING
At 3rd Level, you may make Wisdom (Animal Handling) Checks successfully on Monstrosities with an Intelligence of 8 or less if you wish to influence their behavior.

At 15th level, you may order your Mount to run a target over. The Mount must make a melee attack after moving at least 20 feet in a straight line, and the target must be the same size as the Mount, or smaller. If the attack is successful, it does 2d6 additional Bludgeoning damage, and must make a Strength Saving Throw or be knocked Prone.

At 18th level, your Xytar achieves adulthood. Your Xytar now uses the following statblock, and you may ride it as a Mount:

HIGH PRIEST



"BEHOLD THE POWER OF EVIL! MWUAHAHAHA!"

The High Priests of the Master Crocodilians compete for the gift of 'physical perfection' from their creators. Ironically their competing with each other involves assassination, neatly destroying their creators schemes.

BECOMING A HIGH PRIEST
Virtually all Master Crocodilians compete for this class.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Species: Crocodilian Master
Patron: Set, or another evil god
Skills: Knowledge (Arcana, Religion) 4 ranks each
Feats: Any 2 Racial or Metamagic Feats


Class Skills
The High Priest's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Knowledge (the planes) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).
Skills Points at Each Level : 2 + int

10.+7    +7     +3     +7   +2 Str, +2 Con, Arch  Priest

Weapon Proficiencies: A High Priest gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Ability Scores: At Levels 1, 4, 7 and 10 your Strength score permanently improves by +2. At Levels 4 and 10 your Constitution score also improves by +2.

Tail Lash (Ex): You gain a a Secondary Tail Lash doing 1d12 plus 1/2 Str Bonus. You get a Bite and a Tail Lash with a Full Attack.

Large Size (Ex): At 5th Level, your Size increases to Large. This increases your Reach, and improves your land speed by +10 ft.

Powerful Build (Ex): Whenever you are subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), you are treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to you.

You are also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect you. You can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, your space and reach remain those of a creature of your actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

Arch Priest (Sp): At 10th Level, you can Shapechange (as per the spell) into a Deinosuchus (see Dungeon 145, page 66) 3/day.

PLAYING A HIGH PRIEST
You are the best. You tower over everyone. Your power and guile are boundless. You're pretty sure of this, because you make sure to tell everyone you meet.
Combat: The more Levels the Crocodilian has in this class, the more willing they are to indulge in combat, rather than setting back and using spells to back up minions.
Advancement: Most Crocodilians tend to have a single minded determination to walk the same path with this class.
Resources: You have whatever the Deity who created you is willing to part with, and what you can take by force or guile.

HIGH PRIESTS IN THE WORLD
"Man, that guy has issues."
You have tons of people trying to backstab you and usurp your position. And tons more you intend to backstab for various reasons yourself. In short, you're a drama king who lives for the chaos.
Daily Life: Your days are spent in endless schemes and religious duties.
Notables: Sobekhotep (CE Master Crocodilian Cleric 3/High Priest 2) is a typical Master Crocodilian. All ego.
Organizations: You belong to your creators clergy, on pain of death. He made you, he owns you.

NPC Reaction
NPC's generally see you for the monster you are.

HIGH PRIESTS IN THE GAME
This assumes you are the scion of an Evil God. Could make things a bit tricky for the group.
Adaptation: This is meant for all evil Forgotten Realms Campaigns, but it could be adapted to others.
Encounters: You are generally only found in your lair.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are visiting a local temple, when it gets raided by talking alligators. They manage to put the invasion down before tracing it to a rival temple. Normally they wouldn't get involved, but one of the gators ate the Wizards favorite wand.

Combat: You are ranged cavalry, tossing spears and grenades as you ride by..
Advancement: Most Grenadiers have a fairly similar skillset.
Resources: As long as you're fighting for the tribe, you have whatever they can provide.

GRENADIERS IN THE WORLD

GRENADIER (Fighter)

The Aurochs appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

The AUrochs is friendly to you alone and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Aurochs stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the Aurochs shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Aurochs can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The Aurochs manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the Aurochs again, or until you die.

In combat, the Giant Bat shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Giant Bat can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The Giant Bat manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the Aurochs again, or until you die.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Spacefarer gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Spelljammer Training: At Levels 1, 4 and 7 you get a free Bonus Feat you qualify for from the following list (see Spelljammer.org for Feats with a *): Acrobatic, Agile, Alertness, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Exotic Weapon Proficiency, Far Shot, Freefall*, Improved Critical (Heavy Weapon)*, Improved Initiative, Mobility, Phlogiston Sense*, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Quick Draw, Rapid Reload, Rapid Reload (Heavy Weapon)*, Shot on the Run, Slow Respiration*, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus (Heavy Weapon)*, Weapon Specialization (Heavy Weapon)*,

Evasion (Ex): A Spacefarer can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Keep Your Distance (Ex): At 3rd Level, if you hit an opponent with a ranged attack, they are Checked for 1 round if they fail a Fortitude Save (Save DC is 10 + damage dealt).

At 6th Level, if you successfully Check an opponent, you do +1d6 damage with that attack. This rises to +2d6 at 9th Level.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): The Spacefarer can no longer be flanked.

This defense denies other creatures the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more hit dice/character levels than the target does.

Improved Evasion (Ex): This ability works like evasion, except that while the Spacefarer still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks henceforth she takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless Spacefarer does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.

Ship Defender (Ex): AT 10th Level you gain a +2 Bonus on attack rolls, skill checks and saving throws when on any ship on which you have served at least a week.

PLAYING A SPACEFARER
If you've seen the show Lower Decks, you know what you're in for here.
Combat: With the exception of the occasional wandering space monster, or pirate attack, you don't see much action being as you're stuck on the ship..
Advancement: You develop whatever skills are most needed, trusting that it will further your career.
Resources: You have whatever you can steal, or gain access to with the captains permission).

SPACEFARERS IN THE WORLD
"My crew can out drink yours any day!"
You get to see more (and also less) of the universe than most people. You sail to far off, exotic destinations, only to find yourself with no shore leave half the time. And considering how dangerous the universe is, maybe that's not such a bad thing...
Daily Life: As a ship's crew, there is always work to be done.
Notables: Weetabix ( NG Female Hurwaeti/Scout 2/Spacefarer 6) tries to keep shenanigans on her ship to a minimum.
Organizations: Just about every organization in Spelljammer has use for Spacefarers..

NPC Reaction
Like most 'menial' laborers, you tend to be invisible.

SPACEFARERS IN THE GAME
This is a good class to have if you'll be serving on a spelljammer at any point.
Adaptation: This is meant for Spelljammer, but could probably be adopted.
