Jungle Lizardfolk

Background: Jungle Lizardfolk mediate of their kin, adapting to the constant survival mode of the jungle. They've honed their senses to discern the edible from the deadly and are keenly aware of their surroundings.   Design Notes: These Lizardfolk are well-suited for roles as Druids and Clerics with a focus on nature.   Ability Score Increase: Your Wisdom score increases by 1.   Tree Strider: Jungle Lizardfolk possess a climbing speed of 30 feet in trees and other plant growth, allowing them to navigate the jungle canopy with agility.   Jungle Born: Over many generations, the knowledge of poisons and how to make and avoid them has been passed down. You gain proficiency with the Poisoner's kit, resistance to poisons, and advantage on saving throws against poisons. This reflects your expertise in handling and resisting toxins in the jungle.   Home Sweet Home: You have an advantage on your chosen Hunter's Lore checks when in jungle-type environments. This proficiency emphasizes your mastery of jungle skills.   Nature Be Here: With adequate preparation time, you can craft a suit of nature and blend seamlessly into the underbrush. This unique ability can provide a tactical advantage for stealth and ambush tactics in the jungle.

Your homebrew "Jungle Lizardfolk" race is another well-constructed and thematically rich addition to D&D 5e. It effectively captures the essence of lizardfolk living in a dense, perilous jungle environment and reflects their unique adaptations. Here's a brief overview of the traits you've designed:
Ability Score Increase: As with the Desert Lizardfolk, you've provided players with flexibility by allowing them to choose between a +1 increase to Wisdom or Dexterity. This offers customization and caters to different character concepts.   Tree Strider: The climbing speed of 30 feet in trees and other growing plants is an excellent thematic feature that allows Jungle Lizardfolk to navigate their jungle habitat with ease. It's a practical and flavorful benefit.   Jungle Born: Proficiency in the Poisoner's Kit and resistance to poisons, along with advantage on saving throws against poisons, is a fantastic representation of their survival skills in the jungle. This feature adds depth to their character and is useful in dealing with the threats of their environment.   Home Sweet Home: Advantage on Hunter's Lore checks in jungle-type areas is a logical and beneficial feature, emphasizing their affinity for this terrain.   Nature Be Here: The ability to craft a suit of nature and blend into the underbrush is a creative and thematically rich feature that complements their jungle survival skills. It offers an interesting tactical advantage for stealthy or nature-focused characters.   This homebrew race is balanced and rich in thematic elements. It would make a great addition to a campaign set in a jungle environment, providing players with unique and engaging options. As a Dungeon Master, make sure to assess how these features might affect the overall balance of your campaign, and playtesting can help fine-tune any potential balance concerns.
