Homebrew Mountain Leonin Species Details

Found in mountainous regions, these Leonin have adapted to the rough and tumble conditions of the highest peaks of Theros. Their noble and prideful nature remains in their hearts, but the mountains care not for honour, so their tactics have developed to take advantage of this lawless hunting ground.

Claws

Your claws are natural weapons and have the Finesse property, which you can use to make unarmed strikes.

Creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you that can hear you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn. The DC of the save equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain one use when you finish a short rest, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
