>Speaking of which, what's your favorite stat block in VGM?

I like snakes and reptillian things, and want to play a warlock next so it's not hard to really love the absurdity of the Yuan-Ti. Their overwhelming advantages aside, I think goblins and bugbears are going to lead to some interesting builds down the line.

Just hit level 4 with my AT after tonight's session and I'm not sure if I should take +2 dex or a feat.

Current stats are
Str 8
Dex 16
Con 13
Int 16
Wis 12
Cha 10

Mostly excited to play a cold calculating lizard to be honest.

When in doubt go with ability score

+2 Dex. You want to max out your main ability as soon as possible.

You could hire spellcasters to cast spells in previous editions. It's a low level spell.

Even if you don't have a party wizard, finding one who can cast it should be easy.

The formula that Adventurers League uses for such things is:

Spell cost = (spell level x spell level) x 10 + (cost of material components, divided by 10 if they aren't consumed)

So Continual Flame would be (2 x 2) x 10 + 50, or 90 gp.

Which seems alright for a 20 bright/20 more dim permanent light source.

Anons? Something of a crossover question... based on their leaked lore, if you took a Lizardfolk and dropped it into an expy of Malifaux's Bayou, would it be uncharacteristic for said lizardfolk to develop a taste for the local Gremlins?

For the unfamiliar, Gremlins are basically Pathfinder's Goblins (small, weak, noisy, boisterous, stupid, fast-breeding humanoid vermin) given a hillbilly/swamprat motif. They form pretty much the bottom rung of their local swamp habitat's foodchain, being food for, among other things, the giant gators, the giant mosquitoes, a local species of carnivorous fishmen, and the huge, belligerent hogs they routinely "domesticate" for food themselves.

If everything else eats them, why would the cold blooded, emotionally distant, savagely utilitarian lizard people give a flying fuck about eating gobbos?

The Lightning Bug minis are excellent for a goblin mage though.
