Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General The new Lizard race

I was more thinking of something along the lines of a bonus to stealth, or an increased malus to be hit the further away you are from the attacker, for Chameleon.
I don't really fancy a skill redundant of the Stealth global ability, but limited both in time and actions. It would feel like the Shadowmelt of the Night Elves in WoW.


And:
Scaly Skin(passive)
- The scales covering your body act as a natural defense, providing you with a bonus to physical resistance. However, being chilled will impair your movements and slow your reflexes, making you easier to hit.

Whip tail(active/overwatch)
- So they thought they could sneak up behind you ? Whenever a foe tries to attack you from behind, knockdown and knockback up to 2 foes standing behind you.


I also like this one, submitted earlier by Cattletech:
but it MAY provide a huge bonus, especially late game.

Very good points, those are better ideas than what I posted. Well, Elitism sounds really tricky and it could be a pain, because you'd have to constantly poll and check to see "Do I have the highest stat?" "Do I have the highest stat?" "Do I have the highest stat?" "Do I have the highest stat?" "Do I have the highest stat?" "Do I have the highest stat?" And that kind of thing eats up CPU cycles and could cause a performance drop.

Ha ha, I wouldn't worry too much about that. It's just four entities you have to poll, and nobody said it has to be done on every frame or however their event system works.

Also in general I think traits for DOS2 should factor in the competitive play style. Try to think along that line - things that could encourage you to sabotage or keep an eye on what other characters are doing and adjust yourself accordingly, keeping you on edge to be more competitive.

Since when are the lizards specially related to dragons?

I really like the idea of the racial traits being quite substancial. Of course there need to be both advantages and drawbacks to balance things out. Way too often in RPGs the racial traits end up as little more than gimmicks and it would be a nice change to see then really impact the gameplay of different characters throughout the game.
