[Faction suggestion] The Reptilians

“The Reptilians” is a faction that can become very powerful but has a slow start. Reptilians are rewarded for being patient, but being too greedy could cost them the game. The converted reptilian classes are weak at first, but they can evolve to become more powerful, at the cost of skipping their night action.
“The Reptilians” is a set of 12 classes and 1 BD investigative that only appears in reptilian games.

Note: Reptilian games will only start with a matriarch and one random reptilian. If a reptilian successfully evolves, all their limited use abilities will be recharged.
Note 2: Reptilian’s poison is called “Venom” and has a different notification than Nightshade". The Biologist can only heal venom or eggs.

Now this is really interesting and sounds really fun, too. +1

I like it. I am willing to try it out.

Oh god yes, this looks really cool!

Updated some of the classes of this faction. Every lizard except the matriarch now gets a new day ability when evolving, along with a passive on their second form.

The evolution seems like a cool and interesting power. The egg conversion is also pretty cool. I would definitely support this.

Also, is there going to be a set of Killer classes, or will they just become the Cobra (like Cult)

Cobra is a combination of both offensive and killer classes, as well as Basilisk is a combination of both social and investigative. I think it would be better this way because if there was one class for each type that would be around 16 lizard classes if you take the evolved classes into account, which could be overwhelming.

I support this

Alternatively you could also have only one “evolved” form and still add social/killer sets. Social really needs its own conversion, because it is super easy to tell when a social has been converted. Both Noble and Psychic can instantly prove themselves during the day. Kudos for the whole idea though. It’s a very unique and interesting mechanic.

Ok, after reading your suggestions I decided to add two extra classes “The Serpent” and “The Frog” so social and killer classes convert to something different. Both “The Snake” and “The Serpent” evolve to “The Viper”, and both “The Frog” and “The Gecko” evolve to “The Chameleon”.

Please give me your feedback! (Also if anyone could tell me how to change text color/size that would be great).

Use a set of ** to make it bold. Like this.

And use [color=whateveryouwant] followed by a [./color] to do this.

Ok, I changed some of the classes again. Tier 2 classes now combine the night abilities of both Tier 1 classes into a single one instead of replacing one with the other. Also, since lizards have the potential to poison more than other factions the biologist can now also heal their venom at the cost of his limited use ability. I also changed the Serpent’s night ability since the old one was more of a support ability instead of a killer one.

Changed some of the class and ability names, I’d like to thank discord user “Alchemist Chocolate” for name suggestions.

Also I have a question: Should I change the name to “Reptillians” or leave it as Lizards?

reptillians
