Tuataurs are effectively identical to centaurs, with a couple differences.  They are slightly worse at divine casting while slightly better at psionic; they are normal size instead of large; they have [[Racial Stealth Modifier | a positive stealth modifier]]; and almost half the TNL. Like centaurs they also have [[Racial Damage Modifier | no melee damage bonus]].

Tuataurs are one of the few races that have both high hp and good casting/mana.  They are normal size and are good at practically everything.  They have [[Racial Stealth Modifier | a positive stealth modifier]], and [[Racial Archery Modifier | a bonus to archery]] but no [[Racial Damage Modifier | no melee damage bonus]].
  
As spellcasters, they are no-fail at 95, and receive [[Racial Spell Cost Modifier | a 20% reduction to psionic spell costs]], thus making very effective psionicists and mindbenders.  They are also capable of prc'ing wizard, and are a popular choice.   They are also popular bladedancers, due to high hp and mana, normal size, and good stealth all benefiting bladetrance.

They also have [[Racial Archery Modifier | a bonus to archery]] (albeit less than hie or cen), so druids (due to good mana gains) or assassin (due to high stealth) are good choices.

A rare offshoot of lizard-folk, the mysterious Tuataurs are gifted with a third eye that grants them powerful mental abilities. They are smarter and better with magic than their common cousins, and their enhanced eyesight makes them superior archers as well. Tuataurs are only available to Lizard Men and Troglodytes via the remort command. Those who wish to become Tuataurs must first prove themselves in a traditional lizard-folk combat challenge.

Comments

Tuataurs are one of the few races that have both high hp and good casting/mana. They are normal size and are good at practically everything. They have a positive stealth modifier, and a bonus to archery but no no melee damage bonus.

As spellcasters, they are no-fail at 95, and receive a 10% reduction to spell costs plus an additional 10% for psionic spells, thus making effective psionicists and mindbenders. Their moderate archery bonus allows them to PRC druid, and their high wisdom allows them to PRC wizard. They are also popular bladedancers, due to their great stats and lack of penalties to bladetrance.

Tuataur Quest

To remort to a tuataur a prospective lizardmen or troglodyte needs to undertake a quest - at Elven Foothills the player will find an invisible Lizard Man Challenge Token, 2nuw2sedw from Nyad. Bring this token to Bask, at Rietta's Wonders to battle Bask. Winning this fight is not a requirement for remorting into a tuataur.
