Homebrew Enchanted Cat Species Details
Enchanted Cats are felines that have had their intelligence increased, either intentionally or accidentally. Most have an intellect comparable to humans or other races, along with wildly varying personalities also attributed to them. Most if not all enchanted cats also gain the ability to speak the most common tongue for the area they lived before becoming enchanted, and those that can't still fully understand the most common tongue for the area. As they are physically still just cats, they are commonly overlooked as threats from most other races unless they make their abilities known.
