Homebrew Catling Species Details

Catlings are nocturnal and diurnal beings that wander the world seeking adventure. Not content to sit idle longer than a mid-afternoon nap in the sun, they are often mercenaries and explorers. 

With no country to call their own, they are reluctant to put down roots. Sometimes they travel as a caravan, but often they will be solo adventures looking for their own purpose in life. 

They come in a wide variety of colors and markings, but are usually around 3 to 4ft tall, and between 30 and 60 lbs. Their hands and feet have retractable claws, lending to climbing and digging as well as combat. They seldom wear shoes, as thier soft foot pads lend to their natural stealth.

A natually curious and sly race, they are often seen as thieves and brigands. Though they do seem to have an affinity for shiny objects and baubles, they can also be easily intrigued by the allure of magic.
