Description

---

Lacertains possess a toughened scaled skin, a thickened lower jaw, and a scaled tail that trails from their spine. Although their height equals that of the tallest human's, a Lacertain's strength and durability surpasses most well-rounded athletes of other races. As a society, Lacertains place little emphasis on thought. Brute, physical force answers most questions.

Adventure and exploration serves as a means of testing strength and longevity. Non-Lacertains make fine companions if the lacertain wants to know what not to do, or what to punch.

Commentary

---

While considered the best choice for fighters, paladins, and some clerics in the "A2" incarnation of Astaria due to the way in which stat increases were handled, their use has declined somewhat since the introduction of the "A3" incarnation. Nevertheless, with their high strength and dexterity, and innate resistance to all forms of physical damage, they are certainly one of the easier races to play, if only until mid-game.
