A lizardfolk PC may get the 13+dex natural armor, but they don't get much else aside from holding their breath.  So the trade off of base AC for other racial traits would still be in place.  There are also precious few situations where the 13+dex natural armor would be better than something else.I am a big believer in working with players to come up with an exotic (non PHB) race as long is the new race is not better than what is in the PHB (and in reality it may be slightly worse mechanically). I worked with one of my players to make a Half-Gnoll paladin with a Charisma of 8. I would have little issue with a lizardfolk having 13+dex natural armor.  I noticed someone mentioned possibly giving additional AC to dragonborn.  I personally would not do that since the dragonborn is already in the PHB without taking something else away from the dragonborn.</blockquote>
