Homebrew Felidae Species Details

Groups and Gifts

Most Felidae leave home at a young age by themselves or when they form a close realtionship with another, or group of, Felidae.  Rarely do Felidae join groups of more than 6 others, and groups of Felidae that band together usually  have no leader.  Most see fit to help one another, and if two neighboring groups clash in a hunt, both groups tend to resolve things peacefully, and share their game evenly.

Felidae seek happiness for themselves and their significant other, above all else.  they lead simple lives of hunting and fishing, so satisfying happiness can be easy.  Some Felidae choose to spend their time learning to make small trinkets and jewelry, while others hone their hunting abilities.  either way, a Felidaen may present their significant other, or close friends, with gifts that they have either crafted or killed to show their affection toward one another.

Where they Live

They live in warm, dark environments such as abandoned structures or dense forests.

Felidae Names

Felidaen children take on their parent's names until they are considered mature enough to choose a name for themselves.  Some felidae choose to go by one, or both, of their parent's names.  Very rarely do Felidae choose a last name, or use two names that didn't belong to their parents.

Masculine Names: Alex, Caiden, Dante, Felix, Issac, Maddox

Feminine Names: Ava, Erin, Lara, Lily, Mia, Tara, Vera

Felidae Traits

Your Felidae character shares characteristics with other Felidaens.

Lesser Darkvision

Accustomed to living outside, your vision is better than most creatures, but not all.  You can see in dim light within 35 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light.  You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Fast Reflix

When an enemy you are unaware of lands an attack on you, you may instead use this ability to impose disadvantage on them.  The attacker must roll again and take the lower roll.  If the attack misses, you become aware of the attacker's position and may take an immediate reaction.

Attune Ears

Felidae's large, cat-like ears allow them to focus their hearing towards a specific direction, granting them advantage of Wisdom (Perception) skill checks that require sound.

Soft-Spoken

You know the Message Cantrip.

Keen Sense

You gain proficiency in the Perception skill.

Hunter

You gain proficiency with the javelin, shortbow, and glaive.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common as well as read Fel. Fel is not a spoken language and has no written form.  Instead it is communicated through hand gestures.
