Okay I do not know if anyone here has played Werewolf the Apocalypse with changing breed but i always loved the bastet i am trying to build this race without making too over powered. I f it works i would like to also convert other races from Werewolf the Apocalypse changing breed maybe even the Werewolves themselves. If you feel it is OP please inform me how i can edit to make it not OP. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I did change the story but tried to keep the some of the core concepts within it.
Bastets
Bastets often get confused with werecats since they can shift into a monstrous form that resembles that of were-creatures. The major differences between bastets and were-creatures is this is not cure it is just part of their genes. If bite you there is not chance of you gaining the ability to shift as they do. As well they are not fueled by rage and hatred, they do keep their distances from other races but that is due to them being confused a killed like they are a were-creature. They are willing to work with other races but only by sending emissaries from the villages that hidden deep within their natural territory. There are four different subraces within this species Pansā also known as the Panther clan, Giaguaro also known as the Jaguar clan, Harimau also known as the Tiger clan, and Gepard also known as the Cheetah clan. There use to be more clans, but they have lost throughout history due to being mistaken for were-creatures. All the subraces are very tribal in nature and keep to themselves overall they do trade and interact with the outside would but with trading local villages and rarely going near large city unless they feel they must intervene or help the outside world. The are connected to the earth and nature and can feel when their disruptions within nature and these disruptions are able to cause major harm to world.
Each subrace is different in their own right and live in completely different territories. The Pansā clan is the secrets and gathering information they are know for live in forest and constantly moving their village. They never stay in the same place longer than a month or two. While they may leave people within in local towns or villages to gather more information they always move on and leave no trace they wherever there. The Giaguaro clan is one of the clans that leave deep within the jungle the build their village high in the trees so only the bird and sometime Aarakocra can find them. Due to where they put their villages, they do trade with Aarakocra often and is one of the outside creatures they deal with on a regular bases. The Harimau clan are the strongest and most violent of the clans they use to have tribes in jungles and forest but most of those have hunted so most of them live in the wintery north mountains. This clan is one of the few clans that hate dealing with outsider all together but if the great bastet moot say an emerisary need to be sent most time they send a Harimau clan. Last is the Gepard clan this clan is one of the unique clans of the bastet they live on the open savannah but instead of living in secret village that no one can find they live within the villages and town in the area. The difference is they never use their transformation ability except when only those that what they are around.
One of the main things that make Bastet difference from other races is they have forms, and all three forms are natural to them. They have a four-legged form where they look like the big cat that is part of their blood line. Example would be Pansā can transform into a panther while they do not become any stronger or weaker, they become better at land speed and climbing. They can also transform into their monstrous form which is their normal combat this form makes does give them greater strength and the ability to take more hits. This form looks like were-creature form but nowhere as powerful were-creature when they change.
Physical Description
Bastet are all on average six feet tall and sturdy built. The do have male and female and the female tend to be a bit a shorter than the males. They reach full maturity at age 16 and they live for an upwards of 200 years reaching old age at around 150 years. There have been stories within the tribes of some living up to 300 years old. They come in all-natural skin tones from pale to dark ebony. Their hair color normally depends on their on subrace Pansā normally have dark hair color from black to lighter brown. While the Giaguaro and Gepard have more of your lighter hair color from dirty blonde to white. The Harimau have the most unique hair it can be any color from white to black including red but no matter what color of hair they have there are always highlights of their fur color within their hair. Their eyes always look like cat eyes most are gold but there are some that have blue, green and even black. The do not grow facial hair at all.
Attitudes and Philosophies
Their philosophies are simple they take and protect the land. They understand that other races need to mine and cut down trees which does cause damage to the earth. This damage is minor, and they only get involved when any creatures start going to far and start excessively like when a group of orcs where cutting down tree after tree and just letting rot. The bastet band together and to make there was not a single orc left when they were done. Even though they killed the orc they still respected their body and gave them a burial so they did not harm the land, but their bodies could help them rebuild the land they destroyed. They hate anything they feel is unnatural like vampire which harm they very nature of the world since they are creature that should be dead but are still alive by un-natural means. They can be any aliment, but they tend to go towards neutral base aliments.
