Homebrew Awakened Cat! Species Details
Awakened Cat
Gifted (though others would claim cursed) with consciousness via magic in the form of an intelligence equal to that of an average human, the awakened cat walks a narrow path between two worlds. They are forever removed from their animalistic life but are still driven by many of their old instincts and experiences. An Awakened Cat would think nothing of consuming the meat of a fallen foe. They have little need or want for most possessions, though all tend to have a few special items they guard fercely. They have a tendency toward solitude but will happily join in with a party for warmth, shelter, and easy meals. The promise of a warm lap and generous scratching behind the ears is good incentive as well. Plus, they tend to enjoy surprising people (especially children) by speaking when their counterparts assume they can't.

Awakened Cat! Traits
Your Awakened Cat character has the following racial traits.Creatures of Magic
An Awakened cat is a being created and sustained in part by a magic gem called a soulstone. Any effect that suppresses magic returns an Awakened cat to her former state and temporarily strips away their conscious thought. This can be averted with a successful Charisma saving throw of DC 10 + the spell slot's level used to remove the Awakened Cat's intellect. Should they leave the area of effect or its duration expire, they awaken with no memory of the time while under the antimagic’s infuence. Additionally, due to the magic of the soulstone, an Awakened Cat can use Mage Hand as per the spell, with the following effects:
- You may use this spell to perform finer functions that normally require hands, such as lifting a mug and taking a drink and writing a letter.
- You also may use Mage Hand to weild a one-handed weapon. However, you cannot use this ability to extend the range of your weapon attack beyond five feet of your person. Additionally, an Awakened Cat cannot use any item with this ability weighing over 10 pounds + the Awakened Cat's Charisma score.
