Hold breath (Ex): a blackscale lizardfolk can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 4 x its constitution score before it risks drowning.

Skills: because of their tails, blackscale lizardfolk have a +4 racial bonus on balance, jump, and swim checks.

Blackscale lizardfolk are proud and fierce fighters, concerned with heroic action and personal glory. Left on their own, they will fight as disorganized individuals, but their leaders can force them to work together for short periods of time. The blackscales have little patience for tricks and traps, considering such tools to be the trade of lesser lizardfolk.

Reptilian Subtype

These creatures are scaly and usually cold-blooded. The reptilian subtype is only used to describe a set of humanoid races, not all animals and monsters that are truly reptiles.
