True, but he's going to be torn on it at the very least. Wanting to want to be around someone is tricky. Especially if you want to be around someone, but really can't stand their face. At least this much will be interesting.

I imagine it'll take some work, yeah.

I'll be back later to post some more. Have to go to my grandfathers to fix his computer, then to Walmart to pick up a slide and swing set. Then I have to build it.

As good a place for a cliffhanger as any I think. Got work myself.

So I added the bonuses to my 6 scores. Haven't changed to new stats yet.
Do I add anything else? Natural armor, weapons (and damage to those?) Special abilities?
I was worried that I might not qualify for my familiar, but I'm good.
I had plans for other races. Like strix or lizard folk he would've wanted to repopulate and give their race a second chance.
If he was turned small, was going mounted warrior type feats, riding the fearsome Battle-Coon. Might still do that with undersized mount. Think that needs dex, however, and that is now definitely not my forte.
I'll have to drop a skill. Probably know nature, because it's pretty much useless now. Only reason I had a feat in it was to qualify for familiar.

Why's know (nature) useless?
Anyway, you gain natural armor ...
Of +6. Holy crap.
You gain a stench aura.
2 1d4 claws and a 1d4 bite.

Gonna keep the stench aura off. More debilitating to the allies than my enemies.
Know Nature is useless as my Int just got even lower. Total 5 now...
Why are the natural weapons the same damage?
And do I substitute a regular claw for a gem claw?
Natural armor is good. Basic armor and flat foot improve greatly as my touch gets even worse.
All the trogy avi's suck, so I'm gonna keep my bear trap.

Can't turn it off. But one save and you're immune for 24 hours.
Ah.
Donno,
Yep.
Yep.
Ok.

Tried saving my long and masterful transformation scene post and hit paste instead.
Trying to do it over now...
Character sheet should be up to date.
Moved favored class to skills to compensate for greater stupidity.
With your wis score, I woudln't exactly call you stupid.

Ok, looking at the lizard man race; and I'm not sure which one to use. I've found three versions so far. One from "Advanced Races: Lizardfolk" book I just bought, and two different versions on PFSRD.
Here are the other two:
lizardfolk from Paizo Fans United
fan based Lizardfolk built using the advanced race guide rules

Sorry for casting Wall of Text, but I thought it would be fun to be descriptive.
Chose to have him become one instead of getting a second body, since she wanted him to feel it. Also simplifies keeping his gem.
The higher Wis lower Int will be reflected in a deeper natural connection, but less value for social niceties, as in probably not going to start wearing clothes again. Not worth trying to get them big enough, and for some reason, he can't bring himself to care what people think anymore...

Merek Montague |

That works. I may use some of the feats from the book. I'll let you know of any I may use and get your approval first.

I thought you were a troglodyte, not a Lizardfolk.
Edit: I guess they're almost identical.
Looks like troglodytes average 5' tall and 130-150 pounds, and typically have a crest that starts at their head and follows their spine.
Lizardfolk stand 6-7' tall and weigh 200-250 pounds, typically with no crest.

I sorted the races in my head to which ones I wanted the most
7&15=desperately want
1,2,4,8, 10-13: decent
3, 14, 9 requires major reworking of the character,
5&6 proclaim your despair to the heavens, then rework the character and move on (if I could use the medium goblin variant, then it moves to the previous category)

There are other penalties, for instance the circumstance penalties to perception checks made to smell anything other than you, but that almost never comes up, unless someone in the party has scent.
Tavi's get scent, if I didn't mention that.
But I looked it up. No penalty to scent creautres at all.

I've got a bit more before Merek realizes what is happening. Got to give the kids a bath, then I'll finish up his mini story.

Merek Montague |

Nope. That's as much fighting as he's going to do. He's about to realize it. I just ran out of time. :)
Once I get the kids to bed, I can finish up.

I didn't think it was going to get out of hand.
I was just stating that stuff like this is allowed if it is done in good nature.
And this clearly is.

I would like to make a point of order regarding Zvaris' smell - does anyone really think they'd be able to tell over the stench of the swamp? Stagnant water smells really bad.

It's a foul oil. It's likely more like nazel burning then just a horrid stench.
Like smelling a strong acid.

I can imagine that Hazel burning would be quite foul, indeed.

Seriously? Damn. It was just an image. It's a picture of Hazel, a sitcom show from the 60s.
