Jan 19, 2009 14:02:04 First published homebrew, the Fey Feline.

They represent (in D&D) a third branch of Fey people (Elves, Eladrin, and Fey Felines), as well as (personally) a love for fey and cat people.

Without further ado,

Fey Feline

Graceful fey people, in tune with Nature's ebb and flow.

RACIAL TRAITS
Height: 5'10''-6'2''
Weight: 90lb-160lb
Ability Scores: +2 Charisma +2 Dexterity
Size: Medium
Speed: 8 squares
Languages: Common, Elven
Skill Bonuses: +2 Nature +2 Acrobatics

Racial Weapon Profeciency: Katar - You gain katar profeciency.
Feline Grace - You ignore falling damage for the first thirty feet of the fall, and then any other falling damge taken is halved.
Natural Weapon - You can use the Raking Claws attack instead of a basic weapon attack in an encounter.

Raking Claws
Encounter
Standard Action: One creature
Effect: You deal 1d6 + Charisma to one foe. If it bloodies the foe, you gain combat advantage on that enemy for a turn.

NOTES: Fey Felines have slightly elongated necks (compared to Humans) and their fur patterns can match any wild cat's (Panther, Leopard, and Tiger, but no Lions). They have large paw-feet, and long fingers. Their nails/claws are black, and more solid than a Human's nails.

I'm sorry if they are so similar to Narashai Felines, I had the idea for weeks before reading that post.

If you make homes in trees and don't have a connection to nature, something is wrong. And there isn't much to your race, no stats, no abilities, no discription.

Jan 21, 2009 8:11:30 Racial power is increadably weak, oh and just a suggestion you might for flavor's sake want to add that they don't fall prone at the end of a fall.

As written, it's autodamage without requiring a hit role. The damage is fairly pathetic, but I wouldn't necessarily consider it weak.

I'm concerned that speed 8 is a bit much for a race, although the derth of other racial abilities might make up for it.

I'm also wondering if the race has low-light vision? It makes sense for a feline race (unless they're modeled after cheetahs), but no mention is made of vision.

Jan 22, 2009 21:11:28 Yes, low-light vision, and no prone for falls are both correct.

Will fix whenever.

Jan 28, 2009 22:49:04 Sounds pretty original but a few things:
Have you ever heard of the Khajiit? .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Races_of_The_Elder_Scrolls#KhajiitThey are from the Elder Scrolls series. They may help with and inspiration and what not. Seems original and try thinking up of a different name for them y'know?
Anyways, awesome!
