[QUOTE="fluffybunbunkittens, post: 9189598, member: 7037492"] The old 1/long rest Jaws only got spent on a HIT, which could be a fun vibe because no matter the stats on the Lizardfolk, they could keep spending their bonus action on biting until it works. The new jaws gets spent on every attempt, so a low-Str Lizardfolk now likely doesn't get anything from it. Lizardfolk are such an ecclectic mix of features that I kind of love them.
