Hello forum members, I need help beefing out a home-brewed race of small cat people called 'Ketai'. Below lists what traits they have so far;
- Ability adjustments: The Ketai are weak but dexterous, giving them +2 Dexterity but -2 Strength.
- Small size: The Ketai are small-sized creatures.
- Keen senses: The Ketai have keen hearing, smell, and sight, giving them a +2 racial skill bonus to Listen, Spot, and Search checks.
- Stealthy: The Ketai are stealthy creatures, gaining a +4 racial skill bonus to Move Silently checks.
- Darkvision: The Ketai may see in the dark up to 60 feet.
- Favored Class: Ketai are thieving scoundrels and prefer the Rogue character class. Thus, their favored class is Rogue.

Let me give some background info. on the race of Ketai:
"In the back allies and sewers of the largest cities live the Ketai people. Thuggish, small, and sneaky cat men who move in large groups known as gangs. Their large heads and torsos are contradictory to their small cat-like legs and their short, fuzzy arms and paws. The fur patterns and appearance of a normal Ketai is like that of a domesticated tabby cat or ,in rare occurances, like that of a domesticated calico cat. The Ketai people are most active during the night, while most hide out, pick-pocket, or nap during the day. Unknown to many, the Ketai are actually very curious. What most interests them are spinning patterns or moving, circular shapes, since the sight of these geometries shoots a playful gleam into the cat person's eye. Some are curious to see what is outside of their city life and set out as adventurers. Despite the stereotype, not all Ketai are raggedly clothed vagabonds living on the streets. A minority of Ketai folk learned proper mannerisms, purchased their own land, and a good number of them have even partaken in feasts of nobility, ballroom dances, and theatre performances."
