Homebrew Exceed Species Details

History

Exceeds come from Edolas, a plane similar to the Prime Material Plane, with the exception that magic has long since left their land, resulting in the Exceeds being the only creatures left in Edolas who have access to the Weave. This led to Exceeds being treated as gods by the other races in their world. 

Physical Features

Exceeds appear similar to plush dolls of cats, having small bodies with small paws, oversized heads with large eyes, and a long tail. They come in all colors that a normal house cat comes in. They stand on two paws and, despite having such small paws, have very capable grips with their front paws. 

Society and Personality

In Edolas, Exceeds live on floating islands, free from all other races, where they live under the rule of their queen, of whom they worship as a goddess because of her ability to divine the future. Those born in Edolas believe themselves to be above the other races and feel threatened by any other creatures who can use magic. Edolas is dying without its connection to the weave, and the Exceeds know the end is coming. They send their children to the Prime Material Plane, having a strong connection to the weave, hoping to find a way to steal the weave maintain the life of Edolas, and if they cannot do that, find a way to colonize the Prime Material Plane and the Forgotten Realms. 

Exceeds are being whose magic comes from themselves, so most are more likely to become sorcerers than any other class. However, their devotion to the weave drives them to pursue magic in many forms.
