Notes

  • Speaks no human or humanoid language: saurial voices are pitched too high to hear, and part of the meaning is carried by scent. A saurial PC usually carries a magical item to be understood by. Some understand without being able to speak it.
  • Has no , whatever the .
  • A saurial wizard cannot use another 's spellbooks or scrolls; saurials record their spells on notched memory sticks.
  • Attacks at −1 with any weapon not of saurial make.
  • Cold sleep: prolonged cold brings on torpor. A saurial resists for a number of equal to its size — three for a flyer, ten for a hornhead — doubled with insulated clothing. Warmth revives the sleeper in one to two hours; more than a day in the cold kills.
  • THE CAPS CARRY A FOOTNOTE. Where earn an experience bonus, a maximum of 9 becomes a maximum of 10. The book notes its own maxima are theoretical, drawn from a small sample.
  • Gains 2 bonus at 1st .
  • Takes as a large creature.
  • Two claws for 1d4 each, and a razored tail that strikes rear attackers for 1d6.
