Have you ever wanted to play as a Lizard character, but ended up picking another option because the Lizard racial ability was lackluster? Have you ever wanted to play them as a Hydro or Geo mage, but the firebreath skill was completely worthless or detrimental to your build?  Have you ever felt like the Lizard Racial was too weak compared to the utility of Blood Sacrifice or Encourage?

With Adaptive Lizards, you can now customize your Lizard Racial ability to be better suited for whatever build you are playing with, whether it be an elemental mage, a warrior, or a rogue.

Note

This mod was made as a collaboration between Feenex and I.  Feenex did most of the effects work and helped to brainstorm some of the skill ideas.

Switching Racial Skills

With Adaptive Lizards, each of your characters will be given a mod settings book after character creation (or when loading a save if you lose it or add it to an existing save).  This book is written in Ancient Lizard script, and when read will allow the reader to learn the secrets of a Lizard House and change their racial ability's affinity.  Only living Lizards can learn the secrets of this tome (sorry Undead Lizards).

Skill Variants

This mod adds 8 new variants for Dragon Blaze and is fully compatible with Feenex's Battle Packs and Odin's magic school Overhauls (Compatible does NOT mean required!).  All of these skills scale with level only, so you can use whichever one fits your needs.


Dragon Blaze


The base Lizard Racial ability that every lizard starts with, now also grants Fire Immunity for 1 turn.  

If used with Odin's Pyro Overhaul, will increment Scorch stacks on targets hit.
