I mean this to be constructive, because I really like the idea of the race and appreciate all the hard work that went into making them.

I guess my point isn't just to do with 17 strength or putting them against felar specifically, but that they don't really seem to stand out at anything. Their lower HP from a feeble con plus above-mediocre dex plus dismal strength means they stack up poorly against everybody in some way or another except as shaman/healer where those don't matter as much. They feel like they were pre-balanced a little too harshly and may be borderline crippled in their current state for half the class options.

Every other race/class has some kind of niche use that makes them good for something. Look at Svirf rangers, they aren't great on paper but they have some really strong abilities when in caves and they are fantastic with dodging-type attacks due to their small size.

Wood-elf rangers/druids have a lot of boosts to wilderness powers in general.

Giant rangers have the whole bear charge thing in their favor. Storms are amazing mariners.

Gnomes and elves are pretty fantastic for mastering everything fast.

Human rangers have the strength and PK range advantage.

I'm just struggling with why I'd play Saurian ranger over anything other than for strictly RP reasons, it seems like for a race that lives in swamps they'd have something more than just seeing camo to help them. They just feel like they are missing something to give them a niche.
