Welcome to Gaia! ::

There are two different types of the same monster, so to save space and time, I will separate the "stats" of the two with a slash.

Description: Komoka look relatively the same as humans, with a few keys differences. The first difference are the facial features. A Komoka's nose resembles that of a reptile, with two slits for nostrils, and nothing else. Also, Komoka rarely have eyebrows.Their skin is usually a dark grey-green colour, they have black or green hair, and they have sharp fangs and claws. Their feet are shaped like a lizard-folks, and they have a similar tail as well.

Komoka are a peaceful race, but will not hesitate to defend their home with force. They worship a variety of gods and do not condemn others for their beliefs.

When a Komokan child is born, he/she almost always has a twin, though the two are never the same. There are two types of Komoka, Reaver and Barbaros, and there is one of each at birth. Those born as Reavers, have a more spiked hairstyle when they mature, and are faster than Barbaros, both mentally, and physically. Barbaros, however, are much stronger and their hair simply grows straight down.

Reavers tend to favour classes such as Monk, Rogue, and Spellcaster types. Barbaros prefer Barbarian, Dragoon, or Samurai classes.

Whether half or full Komoka, a character is able to speak fluent Komokan, Elven, and either Draconic or Infernal. A Komoka PC does not know Common, but can learn it after being in a party with at least one Common speaking member for at least 6 months. Half-Komoka speak Common if it is a language of their base creature, otherwise, the same rule applies as if they were full Komokan.

I hope this makes sense as a monster/playable race.
If someone could help me figure out the CR for this, that would be great, as well as any suggestions, but please keep in mind, this monster is not meant for a low level party to face, and it will have a Level Adjustment once I've hammered out all the details and can figure it out.

Thread hijacking: This is now a custom race thread.
Homunculus:
No longer the diminutive construct familiars of arcane spell casters, advances in alchemy and magic have allowed these creatures to become their own. Built to the specific needs they are diverse in many aspects.
Personality: Homunculus usually take after their creators or may be quite the opposite if poorly treated or hoping to make something for themself.
Relations: Homunculus are watched with a mix of many emotions ranging from being offended by their mere existance, pitied for their terrible fate, or, as sometimes the case with their makers, somber love as the failed phantom of a passed love one. But whatever the case, they are seldom treated as equals.
Alignment: Just as their personality, a homunculus chooses many paths but may follow the moral choices of their maker.
Homoculus Lands: While posessing no lands of their own, they are frequently encountered in alchemist labs and places that could use a keen mind, nimble fingers, or a good back.
Religion: Just as they are treated only in extremes, so too are their sentiments towards religion. Some will become a zealous acolyte of a deity hoping to be blessed with reality while others feel its only nonsense.
Languages: Homunculus can speak two languages taught to them by their maker (or in some cases an inheirent knowledge), even secret languages if the maker knew one. But otherwise may be inarticulate with other tongues.
Names: Homunculus usually are given serial numbers like; E-116 Sigma or give themselves or are given a real name.
Adventures: A homunculus will usually adventure for one of three reasons, they were sent on a quest by their maker, their maker has passed and they seek a new place, or maybe they hope to make the most of the limited time they are given with life.

Homunculus Racial Traits:
Medium: As a medium size creature, a homunculus takes no special bonuses or penalities due to size.
Homoculus base speed is 30 feet.
+2 and -2 to any two ability score they choose. Homunculus are made for many different purposes and are designed to fulfill those roles.
Homoculus may choose one knowledge, craft, and profession (Heal is also a possibility) skills of related a nature as class skills and gain a +2 competency bonus to all check involving those choosen skills.
Favored Class: A homunculus may choose one favored class.
Automatic languages: Any two languages of player's choice. No bonus languages, further languages are recieved through the Speak Language skill.
Construction: To create this type of homoculus has different requirements from the familiar variant.
Materials required are a mixture of clay, the cremated ashes of another sentient humanoid, mandrake's root, spring water, a one pint concoction of holy, unholy, chaotic, and lawful water, and one pint of the creator's blood. The materials must be added together an then passed through all the elemental planes, the costs coming to (haven't figured this out yet.)
Special: Unlike other homunculus, this type is not a simple familiar and is treated as an NPC cohort.

Ages and Aging:
In reality, a homunculus, no matter how well made, lives a tragically short life span seldom living beyond their thirty fifth year.
Adulthood Begins at: 3 years old*
Middle age begins at: 16 years old
Old Age Begins at: 22 years old
Venerable Age Begins: 30
Maximum Age: Venerable + 2d6 years
*While this is what is considered adulthood, at 3 years age a homunculus will still bare the appearence of a person just entering their teenage years but have adult minds. By the end of this year of their life they take an adult form.

Interesting race, to be sure, but my problem is with the stat bonuses. You never see racial stat bonuses that are odd numbers, so I would suggest slightly re-tooling the Barbaros stats. Also, as I recall, Infravision no longer exists, so that would need to be replaced with something different, not to mention the range on it is insanely far. Considering the snake-like nature, I'd recommend possibly tremor sense to 30 ft.

Another thing you seem to be missing, at least for the player character side of the spectrum, is an ECL. As is the -2 Cha that both get is not a good balancer for the other statistical bonuses, plus you have them with a bite attack, numerious racial skill bonuses, and underwater breathing. The double cold damage is a nice balancer, but the half fire damage cancels it out on the balance end of things. I'd consider this race to be at least a +3 ecl, if not a +4. That said, that should give you a good idea as to specific challenge ratings.

Oh, and one more thing, they don't have "favoured classes", I just listed the classes they tend to choose because of their natural abilities. Nothing to do with the whole "no exp penalty" thing.

Reptiles prefer the heat from the cold, that's why I gave Komokas heat resistance and cold vulnerability. They're not completely lizard-like, but they are similar.
Why does everyone assume that they're just a lizardfolk variation?

Once again, I didn't want to outweigh the Con and the Str for the barbaros, but since everyone keeps telling me to put it at 4, then I guess i'll also have to put the Reaver's Wis adjustment up to 4 as well, so that they're not left out.

As I've also stated, the barbaros are more resilient than most humanoids, that's why they get the d10 hit die and higher natural armor...which I forgot to put in the stats...I'm gonna go put that in there.

Would you rather I put it as 12 or 14 d8? I'm just trying to make them have around 100HP everytime.

I don't have any books with me, and I can't find any links, so I can't do much for that part.
