Sep 15, 2003 23:47:59 In the DLCS entry on the country of Nordmaar it makes a passing reference to the lizardfolk. Does this refer to the lizardfolk as described and statted in the Monster Manual, or is it in the same vein as a DLCS reference to minotaurs (i.e. referring to a creature with a name similar to a monster in standard D&D but with completely different stats)? Just curious on whether the Bakali and Jarak-Sinn lizard people of 2nd edition will appear in the upcoming bestiary and whether lizardfolk refers to the Bakali, or the Jarak-Sinn, or neither.

Sep 16, 2003 0:42:31 Bakali = lizardfolk. They are the same thing. Jarak-Sinn are a variant. Any reference to bakali in the DLCS is a reference to lizardfolk from the MM, and vice versa.

Cheers,

As they are the same creature, yes.

Some dragons, such as Pitch (aka Mohrlex, the black dragon of Nordmaar) actually put draconians in charge of the lizardfolk. I don't think the bakali like being told what to do by other races, though - they got enough of that from the jarak-sinn.

Cheers,

Sep 16, 2003 17:03:24 that brings up another question now. What are the differences between Bakari and Jarak-sin stat-wise? are both jsut lizadfolk as in MM, or is the Jarak-sin different?

This is the sort of thing which could very well show up in future products. For a quick fix in the meantime, add a few points to a base lizardfolk STR, give them some barbarian levels, and voila! a cheap and dirty jarak-sinn conversion. Older products said they were larger, stronger, and more aggressive than standard bakali, but not as smart.

Cheers,
Cam
