Homebrew Forest Tabaxi Species Details
Hailing from a strange and distant land, wandering tabaxi are catlike humanoids driven by curiosity to collect interesting artifacts, gather tales and stories, and lay eyes on all the world's wonders. Ultimate travelers, the inquisitive tabaxi rarely stay in one place for long. Their innate nature pushes them to leave no secrets uncovered, no treasures or legends lost.
The Tabaxi of the forest tribes are a generous and loyal people. More closely connected to the outside world than their reclusive kin, the Tabaxi of the forests welcome outsiders and trade, believing that they can impart their knowledge and beliefs upon those they forge bonds with, thus reducing the misunderstandings between their people and outsiders.
