Homebrew Firbbaxi (half Firbolg/half Tabaxi) Species Details

Firbbaxi are rare and often are reclusive due to their parents usually being former or active adventurers.  However, there are exceptions to the rule.  Tribes have been found cloistered in remote forest strongholds, mountain valleys, preferring to spend their days in quiet harmony with nature. When provoked, firbbaxis demonstrate formidable skills with their natural claws and innate magic.

Humble Hooligans 

Firbbaxi love both the calming comforts of nature and the unknowns of adventuring out.  They love nothing more than a peaceful day spent among the trees of an old forest, or jumping from roof top to roof top in pursuit of a goal in the big city.  They see forests as sacred places, representing the heart of the world and civilization as a giant shiny thing in which to bat around their curiosity.

Nature's Arcane Hands

Firbbaxi inherit a talent for druidic magic. Their cultural reverence for nature, combined with their strong and insightful minds, makes learning such magic an instinctive part of their development. They use this to balance out their more aggressive approach from their feline blood.
