v0.91.45 Patch Notes
====================
New Races: Drow (Dark Elf) and Lizardfolk
Lizardfolk's Natural Weapons:
Natural weapons are weapons that are physically a part of a creature.
Making a melee attack with a natural weapon is considered armed and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
When a creature has multiple natural weapons, one of them is the primary weapon and all the others are secondary (–5 penalty on attack rolls).
When unarmed, the melee primary natural weapon automatically replaces the unarmed attack.
Secondary natural weapons may provide additional attacks on full attacks or in certain special situations. For example, even holding a longbow, a lizardfolk can still make melee attacks with its bite.
See Encyclopedia: Equipment - Natural Weapons for details.
Lizardfolk's Racial Hit Dice:
Some powerful races are more special. These races have 2 or more racial Hit Dice.
The effective character level of a character of these races = racial Hit Dice + class levels + level adjustment.
The racial Hit Dice can be considered a “monster class” similar to normal player classes. Effectively, the character will become a multiclass character when he takes class levels. A character's “monster class” is always a favored class, and he never takes XP penalties for having it.
So his actual character level = racial Hit Dice + class levels, which determines other stats, such as hit points, skill points, gaining feats, etc.
Furthermore, he does not get a feat and four times skill points for his first class level as members of the common races do. Instead, he has already received the equivalent bonuses for his first racial Hit Die.
He can start with no class levels, i.e. choosing no class for a lower starting level. He can gain them later.
