Homebrew Half-Tabaxi Species Details

Walking in two worlds but truly belonging to neither, half-tabaxi combine what some say are the best qualities of their tabaxi and human parents: human curiosity, inventiveness, and ambition tempered by the refined senses, love of nature, and physical prowess of the tabaxi. Some half-tabaxi live among humans, their physical differences often adding to their charm, or otherwise being hidden. Others live with the tabaxi, often as some sort of ambassador, bringing news and information from the outside worlds to the tabaxi.

Of Two Worlds

To humans, half-tabaxi look like tabaxi, and to tabaxi, they look human. Most half-tabaxi appear human and have only a minor tabaxi quality, such as ears or a tail, however, others have the inverse situation, with a mostly tabaxi look and only minor human qualities.

Half-Tabaxi Names

Half-tabaxi use either human or tabaxi naming conventions. As if to emphasize that they don’t really fit in to either society, half-tabaxi raised among humans are often given tabaxi names, and those raised among tabaxi often take human names.
