Homebrew Enchanted Cat Species Details

A failed experiment trying to magically turn a cat into a human. The cat did not turn into a human, but was granted hightened durability and intelligence, and the ability to occasionally turn into a human for a period of time. An enchanted cat should only use the Wizard, and maybe Sorcerer, classes. This is not meant as a serious race, it is just something I'm experimenting with. Feedback is still appreciated though.

Enchanted Cat Traits

The enchanted cat has some traits from it's feline form, and some from the magical enchantment placed on it.

Keen Smell

Your hightened sense of smell gives you advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Feline Agility

Your nimble physique and quick reflexes gives you proficiency in the Stealth skill.

Claws

Your unarmed attacks uses your Dexterity instead of your Strength but only deal 1 slashing damage on a hit.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Languages

The enchantment has granted you the ability to speak, read and write common and one other language, although your paws might make writing difficult.

Shapeshift

As an action, you can magically turn into a human. As a human, your size is medium, you can use your regular strength score, and you can wield weapons and use tools as a human would. Your base walking speed becomes 30 ft. and you lose your climbing speed. You also lose your Keen Smell trait. This change lasts for 3 hours or until you use an action to turn back into a cat.

You choose whether any equipment you're wearing or carrying when you shapeshift drops to the ground where you're standing or merges into your new form. This applies both when you shapeshift into a human and when you shift into a cat.

After you use your shapeshifting, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Weak Physique

Because of your tiny physique, your base Strength score as a cat is always 3. When you turn into a human, you can use your regular Strength score. This also means you can't use weapons and tools that would require humanoid features such as hands.

Arcane Focus

You have a magical gem embedded in your forehead that can act as an Arcane Focus. This stays in bouth your cat form and your human form.
