Homebrew Fenfolk Species Details

The Fenfolk are a race of cat-like humanoids who evolved from the common house cat. They have lived in harmony with humans for centuries, but have always remained somewhat of a mystery. Their origins are shrouded in folklore and myth, with many different stories being told about how they came to be. The Fenfolk have a very similar biology to a human but of course of has its changes, in these newer days doctors have realized that Fenfolk actually just had a extremely similar environment to humans, only being colder which allowed them to keep the entirety of their body hair. 

According to one legend, the Fenfolk were once ordinary cats who were imbued with magical powers by a group of powerful sorcerers. The sorcerers had been searching for a way to create the perfect servant, and they believed that by combining the intelligence and agility of a cat with the form and abilities of a human, they could create the ultimate being.

After many years of experimentation and testing, the sorcerers finally succeeded in creating the first Fenfolk. These early Fenfolk were highly intelligent and possessed a range of magical abilities, including the power of speech, the ability to shape shift, and the power to control the elements.

As word of the Fenfolk spread, more and more people began to seek them out as companions and helpers. The Fenfolk quickly became popular throughout the land, and their numbers grew rapidly.

However, not everyone was pleased with the emergence of the Fenfolk. Some people saw them as a threat to their own power and status, and sought to eliminate them. This led to a long and bloody conflict between the Fenfolk and their enemies, which lasted for many years.

Despite the odds, the Fenfolk managed to survive and thrive. They established their own communities and developed their own culture, blending elements of human and cat society. They became skilled craftsmen and farmers, and were known for their love of music and the arts.

As the years passed, the Fenfolk became more and more integrated into human society. They formed strong bonds with the humans they lived among, and many Fenfolk even married and had children with them.

Today, the Fenfolk are a respected and valued part of human society. They are known for their intelligence, their resourcefulness, and their magical abilities, and are highly sought after as advisors and counselors.

Despite all they have achieved, the Fenfolk have never forgotten their roots. They still retain many of the traits and characteristics of their feline ancestors, and they remain deeply connected to the natural world. They are fiercely protective of their communities and their way of life, and will stop at nothing to defend them against any threat

Fenfolk Traits

The Catmen

Cat Malice

Due to the darker colors the furs that cover the Fenfolk’s body, all checks in stealth have advantage on them and as well because of this said fur they have a nicer look to them and makes Charisma checks have advantage as well. 

Stealth Hunter

Fenfolk like most creatures, evolved from smaller weaker creatures. They weren’t lucky like most and didn’t get 2x stronger than their Cat counterparts so most Fenfolk live off their stealth. All Fenfolk have disadvantage on strength checks and saving throws but of course have increased Stealth because of this.

Primal Sense

Due to their background of being from a family of hunter animals, all Fenfolk have a amazing sense of smell and every (D&D) 24 hours or day they can dig into this sense and find one certain thing or person they need in a 50 mile radius. (Note: Item or Person will HAVE to have a smell to track) This ability is mostly used by Fenfolk nowadays for hunting, but… A adventurer could use it for more things, but sadly it does give the user a single bar of exhaustion as they did have to DIG deep to find this strength.
