Homebrew Firbbaxi (Half-Firbolg/Half-Tabaxi) Species Details
They say that battle builds strong bonds, like brotherhood. Well, I have never witnessed a love or companionship with greater respect or love then that of my two fellow party members. One, an aggressive and impulsive tabaxi. The other, a whimsical and courageous firbolg. Both full of inquisitive nature and compassion for others. If ever their were perfect balance, it is between these two races and peopleml.
Firbbaxi are rare and often are reclusive due to their parents usually being former or active adventurers. However, their are exceptions to the rule. Tribes have been found cloistered in remote forest strongholds, mountain valleys, preferring to spend their days in quiet harmony with nature. When provoked, firbbaxis demonstrate formidable skills with their natural claws and innate magic.
Humble Hooligans
Firbbaxi love both the calming comforts of nature and the unknowns of adventuring out. They lov nothing more than a peaceful day spent among the trees of an old forest, or jumping from roof top to roof top in persuit of a goal in the big city. They see forests as sacred places, representing the heart of the world and civilization as a giant shiny thing to bat around their curiosity in.
Nature's Arcane Hands
Firbbaxi imherit a talent for druidic magic. Their cultural reverence for nature, combined with their strong and insightful minds, makes learning such magic an instinctive part of their development. They use this to balance out their more aggressive approach from their feline blood.
