Tabaxi

Tabaxi are cat people from a distant star and part of the colloquially named "Hunter Races." The Tabaxi are known for their quick speed, quick wit, and their unusual desire to subservience. As one of The Hunter Races, they're often prized as ship crew members and mercenaries and famous for their speedy thefts.

Power from Subservience

Their culture heavily upholds the idea of learning from the eldest. Tabaxi have a strong gerontocracy, where the old rule, and they'ver built a tradition of following those they are under for wisdom and learning. However, some argue this tradition goes much too far, with young Tabaxi being taught to become like those above them and having their own emotions and beliefs pushed aside.
As the Tabaxi spread across the galaxy, this culture has splintered and not stayed quite identical everywhere. Some Tabaxi prize the eldest rule as the prime idea, others that they are to learn from others and not take any of their own knowledge as important, and others still that the ultimate position is servitude to another.

DND Mechanics

• Ability Score Increase. When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20.
• Creature Type. You are a Humanoid.
• Size. You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race.
• Speed. Your walking speed is 35 feet and you have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.
• Cat's Claws. You can use your claws to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
• Cat's Talent. You have proficiency in the Perception and Stealth skills.
• Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.
• Feline Agility. Your reflexes and agility allow you to move with a burst of speed. When you move on your turn in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.
• Languages. Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character.
