Editing Lizardfolk (section)

==5e==
Lizardfolk in 5e get a fairly good base, with notable traits including built-in swimming, extra skills, and natural armor. The Lizardmen got a rewrite in ''Mordekainen's Monsters of the Multiverse'', granting them the post-Tasha's stat boosts to wherever and scrapping the somewhat iffy crafting bonus and letting Hungry Jaws be used multiple times per day equal to proficiency bonus.

[[Druid]] is especially good due to the Natural Armor synergizing well with the restriction on armor, and having additional wisdom relevant skills never hurts. That said, a boost to Constitution and Wisdom (a frequent save stat), temp HP, an innate swimming speed, and natural armor are features that any class would benefit from.
