Homebrew Felis Species Details

Felines are a type of humanoid creatures called Morphed that were created sometimes on purpose, but mostly by accidental magic. Some used to be cats, many used to be of another humanoid race, but gained cat-like characteristics. Felis often choose a last name reflecting their animal race, such as Felis, Wandercat, or Pounce.

Felis are quick-witted, unpredictable, and athletic, often keeping to themselves, yet can be a very valuable member in an adventuring party. They are unlikely to form close bonds with the other members, and may betray them given a good enough reward. They can be easily offended, and can be very fierce when angered. When they do form a close bond, their word is gold and their loyalty is unwavering. Like all Morphed, it is difficult for them to find their place among other races, since Morphed are rare enough to not have their own cities and towns. Many Felis do not mind this much, and sometimes enjoy it, living a secluded life or living among other races with a casual disdain for the fear and suspicion that surrounds them.

Felis Traits

Felis' racial traits reflect cats very closely, in the same way that a half-elf shares the traits of humans and elves. Felis are often originally elves, humans, dryads, or cats, and are rarely dwarves, gnomes, or halflings. All Morphed can be originally animals, and it is usually quite rare, but for Felis to be originally a cat is not too uncommon.

Observant

The sharp ears and eyes of the cat make Felis proficient in Perception.

Stealthy

Felis are naturally stealthy, and so are proficient in Stealth and Sleight of Hand.
