Homebrew Felis Species Details
Physical Description
Short And Furry
Felis are often underestimated due to their short stature and cuddly demeanor. Felis come in all shapes and colors. They can grow to be up to 3 ft tall and often vary in their weight due to differing habits. Felis range from the fiery gingers to the cool, calculating cerulean blues. The sub species of Felis all have their own quirks, but as a species they are known as intelligent and gifted adventurers. Each breed of Felis has their own Clan of which they are extremely proud. This often leads to scuffles and contests for pride of oneself and of Clan. There has always been a healthy rivalry among the different breeds of Felis. Some rivalries end in brawls and others end with shame and loss of respect. Often, individuals will be challenged to single combat for their honor, and on the rarest of occasions, the honor of an entire clan.
Felis live up to 135 years of age. the Felis travel alone with an eagerness to get the most from life which drives them to move through it rarely forming strong attachments to the many non-Felis with which they become acquainted. Felis live their lives with a strong sense of magic. Most Felis are able to sniff the wizard in a room full of grey bearded, pointy hat wearing men. Other races often construe the Felis’ innate magic sense to their origins as Wizard’s familiars, used as conduits of magical energy to aid in spell casting.

Overcoming Underestimation
Felis are among the shortest races and are often overlooked for their small stature. Their domesticated ancestor, the house cat, is sometimes what all other races will see when dealing with a Felis. Adventuring Felis have learned to use this to their advantage, often sweet talking the tall folk into increasing their fee and rewards. But this talent isn’t just limited to deal-making; in combat, foes will often disregard and even turn their backs to a Felis, providing an opening to strike.
