Size. Chameleons are about the same size as humans or
sometimes a bit smaller. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking and climbing speeds are 25 feet.
Additionally, you don't take a speed penalty while prone.
Hunter's Lore. You gain proficiency with the following
skills: Nature and Survival.
Natural Armor. You have tough, scaly skin. When you
aren't wearing armor, your AC is 10 + your Dexterity modifier.
You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the
armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's
benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.
Tongue-lash. A chameleon's tongue can be up to twice as
long as its body. So long as the use of your tongue is not
inhibited, your unarmed strikes, made with your tongue, are
considered to have the Reach property, and your tongue is
considered a natural weapon. The tongue can hit from a
distance up to 10 feet. Attacking with your tongue deals
bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 + your Dexterity modifier.
Additionally, you can make minor interactions with your
tongue, such as activating buttons, casting touch spells or
retrieving small items that are not being carried, from a
distance of up to 10 feet.
Adaptive Camouflage. Your skin can change color to
match your environment, giving you a natural advantage
when trying to travel unseen. You can take the Hide action so
long as you are adjacent to any opaque object or solid
surface. In addition, whenever you are hidden and stand still,
creatures have disadvantage on all ability checks made to
detect you that rely on sight.
Griptail. Your tail is a prehensile appendage that you can
use to grab and hold small objects and to anchor yourself to
terrain. Objects that are being held with your tail can't be
used and you can't use your tail to cast spells.
