Homebrew Aäriadri (Tabaxi, Housecat Variant) Species Details
When a Tabaxi spends too much time around civilization , it can rapidly evolve so that only two generations later, its offspring are perfectly adapted to the urban environment. When this happens, they shrink drastically, and become even more charismatic than they already were.
Aäriadri (Tabaxi, Housecat Variant) Traits
Forced to adapt, Aäriadri master deception to survive in the ruthless slums of big urban areas.Ability Score Increase:
Aäriadri are surprisingly nimble for their size, and very, VERY, persuasive.....damn those kitten eyes.
Your Dexterity score increases by 1, and your Charisma score increases by 2.
Age:
Aäriadri age at around the same rate as humans, reaching middle age at around 50, and rarely living longer than 110.
Size:
Your urban adaption has drastically decreased your size. Typical Aäriadri stand between two and a half and three and a half feet tall. But get one thing straight: they don't need to be tall. They have style. Do you still impudently disagree? Fine, amigos, I shall persuade you otherwise.
... (your size is small).
Speed:
Your base walking speed is 25 feet. But let's get this straight.....
Darkvision:
You have a cat’s keen senses especially in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 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.
Feline Agility:
You gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill, and your jump distance is doubled.
Those big, watery eyes.....
People can't help but to like you. In many cases, they even find it hard to say no to you. Very hard...so...so hard....I....yes, McStuffins, you're wish is my command.
You gain proficiency in the persuasion, deception, and performance skills. You're proficiency bonus is doubled for any check you make with these skills.
Alignment:
You are a naturally born hero, with the Charisma to prove it (Or....deceive those fools into thinking otherwise....), naturally driving you towards good, or, at the very least, Neutral. BUT. This is a big but. No one ever, EVER, tells an Aäriadri what to do. EVER. You are undeniably Chaotic. You are immune to any feature that would change your alignment in this regard.
Languages:
You can speak, read and write in Common, and one other language of your choice.

Posted Aug 30, 2022So this type of Tabaxi is pretty much shorter than their taller tabaxi? I love the extra trait of big water eyes. Reminds me of Puss in Boots, this looks like a ton of fun. I would love to try this. ^^

Posted Apr 14, 2026I have actually used this race for my sorcerer, and I absolutely love it. And noticing that almost none of its features asides from the movement speed apply, I've opted to fix that with a feat to compliment your subrace!
Introducing: Aäriadri Talent!
https://www.dndbeyond.com/feats/2178566-aariadri-talent
This feat was made specifically for use with your subrace, so I have a disclaimer that it should only be used under that condition. To avoid the oddness of having a link in a dndbeyond character sheet, I've opted to put the link to this page as a comment on the feat page itself.
Thank you again for this wonderful bit of feline flavor! <3
Do note, the feat only provides proficiency; this is for balancing purposes, as my group has found what is effectively 4 free expertise from a race to be rather much. However the 4 proficiencies are epic and still applied in the feat!
