Mythic Odysseys of Theros gave us some new catfolk that are far more ferocious than their distant tabaxi cousins. Where the tabaxi are catfolk, the Leonin are lionfolk with muscular jaws, claws, and resplendent golden manes. These kings of the savannah are brand new to D&D, and while they technically only exist so far in the world of Theros, you can expect some new Leonin characters to roar into your next adventures. Does their pride hold muster? Sharpen your claws and practice your best roar as we go through everything you need to know about Leonin 5e.

I'm playing a Leonin Paladin.
His name is Mufasa, and he's Lawful Good.
He's fond of conversation, a good joke, and a small drink. He's also really good with kids.
He rarely uses physical violence. If you have the balls to insult him, he'll just glare at you and growl. But if you strike him, he will fight back. His roars can vibrate the air, and make even the most bravest bad guy shit his pants.
Was Leonin "gods=nope" nature ingnored in the setting of game you guys play, or does he have backstory reason to be a Paladin?
I’m playing a leonin barbarian in the ice windale campaign and he’s an absolute tank
I homebrewed it that the large cats like tigers, Jaguars, and others in the panthera category of cats are leonin, the smaller cats are tabaxi.
Gonna say this now, leonin conquest paladin is pretty strong, being able to lock down numerous enemies and force them to take psychic damage without burning a spell slot is pretty great, you make a group of enemies sit absolutely still and thus make them into easy prey for your party.
I mean, leoneses hunt together, so it makes sense to have a pack mentality when it comes to the totem Barbarian. Just reskin it as Lion totem, because you love yourself and your people
This race has intrigued me and I enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it.
Glad you liked it. Huzzah!
I’m playing Lancelot of the iron-mane he is an artilerist artificer with the soldier background as a city gaurd, he learns quick and leads with those skills
Leonin Eldritch Knight / Vengeance Paladin. Lions hate hyenas and this character hates gnolls. Being able to cast shield as a reaction, and use the other spell slots is great. That's especially true when you're using your vow of enmity to attack at advantage.
Going to be playing a Leonin Wild Magic Barbarian in an upcoming campaign! Planning on him being a street tough delinquent, with his mane being a pompadour on top. He's adopted into a well connected family, but likes to leave the house and fight in the streets with his new pride, the street gang he joined up with! Very excited to try out this race!
I have never played DnD and I just made my first DnD character. I came here to get some ideas on how to play my character and you have given me some great ones! My character is a leonin female that is druid/barbarian and she came out very balanced. I started with barbarian and plan to do my character levels 3 barbarian 17 druid in the long run and with totem warrior and 9th level spells the character should play relatively well. The leonin race just gave the character that extra little bit the classes needed. With my size I'm starting off with a great sword, quarter staff and have a few javelin in my equipment. I'm excited to play with this character! There isn't much out there about leonin, thank you for making this video!
Huzzah! Welcome Adventurer!
Helo fellow Druid
Been playing for about 6 years now, only recently came across the Leonin. This is probably my favorite race I have played as so far, rp wise and ability wise.
I play Nero IV, a Ranger/Beastheart (MCDM) just nearing the age of 37, alongside his deinonychus companion Chipp.
Most people assume the tallest and biggest members of adventuring parties to be the most brash, but mine is the most level-headed, making an effort to de-escalate certain situations if at all possible, but should violence be the only option, he has the tools to issue massive damage thanks to the stacking abilities of Hunter Ranger and Hunter Beastheart.
I’ve played many characters, but this is easily my favorite of all time.
I’m playing a Leonin Bloodhunter in my newest campaign and it’s been SO exciting! This vid has given me so much great insight too, so thank you!
Rolled a leonin fighter as am eldtritch knight. Flavored him after a the mountain lions, and he is set for being an A.C. tank.
I am currently playing a Noble Leonin Kensei monk. With my kensei abilities I get two monk weapons and one can be ranged. So I have a staff with spear heads on each end, a light crossbow for ranged action ( which is killer for a monk to have that option ). Also my kensei abilities allow me to use a bonus action to add bonus damage to ranged attacks when I hit. It’s been really fun. Plus the daunting roar. And other Leonin traits. I am a noble so I am always trying to keep my mane combed with my claws and keep myself clean.
Nice! Interesting on a monk; being able to move around more than you would with a fighter, etc and then doing the roar to cc them into things is an interesting option.
First time playing dnd and chose leonin. Rocking a duel axe wielding paladin of glory.
Paladin/Warlock Leonin that is running from his pride and Paladin order for killing and taking the matching gauntlets (One acting as a bladed weapon and the other a shield) that called to him and force him to kill his Alpha. My tortured budget barbarian.
While playing around on Heroforge, my little girl (4) made a Leonin model and so we have been doing research on the lore to make her character. She decided on a rogue and will likely build towards arcane trickster. Looking into the lore, we went with the Ironmane pride.
None of this is optimal 😂 but she does things her way.
I’m running one as a war domain cleric, been really enjoying him.
Just started my first campaign ever with a Leonin monk with the way of astral self (had a friend help me build it) and gotta say lots of fun, dude tears people apart 🤣
Oath of Conquest Paladin Leonin with a built in fear effect sounds pretty great!
Raw Kal, Barbarian, lawful good, friend to the common, double handed great axe, two handheld axes, and 4 javelins 😉❤️ he's pretty cool, left half b&w tuxedo, right half grey tabby tuxedo.
I'm joining my very first campaign at 49. It starts soon!
Thanks for this video! Currently I have a Leonin College of Glamour Bard PC and he just got his first cool longsword that enables him to cast Searing Smite 1/day! I use intimidate a whole lot more AND the Daunting Roar feature is pretty great to set up attacks of opportunity ^^
Leonin brute sounds kinda good or paladin of glory maybe beast barbarian with slasher and piercer
Here’s an idea: what about a Leonin “Path of the Beast” Barbarian?
The purpose of this build is to create a truly powerful hunter character with primal instincts.
I made a leonin barbarian path of wild magic. He was born into a tribe of tabaxi. But being born a leonin is extremely rare (like once every hundred or so year) rare. He is bestowed the wild magic by the tabaxi god 'cat lord'. I'm playing him in TOA as Ascerak is looking for him to use his soul to bring the atropol to life.
My daughter made a Leonin lady in a pink dress in Hero Forge, and rolled a rogue character sheet. She named her character "Princess". She's 4. 😅
Welp Armello have a corrupted lion as a king... And he looked cool! Maybe that i'll do one if i ever play dnd.
Currently working on a Leonin Lycan Bloodhunter that becomes a Weretiger. Or in this specific case, a Wereliger. Very excited to see how it plays out once I finish its deets and find a campaign.
I've made a half blind fighter samurai and my DM bent the rules to get me blind sight so that initiative bonus makes wonders when I pare extra attacks and the roar to take out big chunks before my first turn even ends, leaving my party to finish off the weakened and terrified enemies.
Thank you for this, I think I’ve found a character to create.
I'm working on a Leonin Gloomstalker. Hope to test the build in an upcoming one-shot.
Battle beast from invincible perfect fit
I have my first dnd character named gao the leonin eldritch knight and he's awesome. He's chaotic good and he hates being called a tabaxi even thought he lost what was dear to him, he won't stop protecting the innocent and friends
Leonin path of the beast barbarian has me sold!
That's a pretty interesting combo. Like it.
Just started a campaign where I'm a Leonin Paladin, based a lot off of the MtG plainswalker Ajani.
Oath of Vengeance and Polearm master, he's a big boi with a lot of options when it comes to single target combat options!
Nice. What feats did you pick up? Why is he a vengeance paladin?
@@SkullSplitter knowing ajanais story the world took his loved ones away or someone who meant something and the world will pay for that. Hence oath of vengence
@@SkullSplitter His twin brother fell to the cult in the area and in doing so my Paladin ended up slaying him. Swearing an oath of vengeance against the cult and vowing no one else would have to slay their own kin in some twisted occult game.
I've picked up Polearm master and Sentinel, I enjoy the idea of being so vengeful that my target is NOT getting past me.
I enjoy these videos. They are very informative and helpful. :)
Twilight cleric from T.C.E. is also a good fit as its Chanel divinity abilities make its fear effect as a bonus action a great way of pushing enemies away while providing a bubble of protection for your party.
Nice! Have you used this in your campaign? Or is it planned for a future PC?
@@SkullSplitter used currently playing a leonin twilight cleric with a belt of Dwarven kind which has been ruled to effect my whole mane by making it the most luxurious mane in all the realms. Merchant background also gives me ample opportunity for screwing with the dms economy and getting the party gear and resources at quite the discount.
"the most luxurious mane in all the realms" 😂 That's fabulous. Is there a fireball in their future?
@@SkullSplitter Shhh... I already became a ring once... I don't think my party members want me in their head again.
Never played D&D but I got invited to play and I chose a Paladin Leonin.
His pride was slain by a Pale Orc leading a massive army that sacked his village and he was sold into slavery.
Currently playing a Leonin Monk who came from a tribe of barbarians
Leonin monk sounds like it would be fun, I wanna make a Kensai Leonin.
im playing a barbarian leonin with the storm herald subclass, overall, pretty fun and efficient i would say
Imma play a fighter leonin who is a noble because his great grandfather led a raid party of leonin and lions and took over and started ruling over a human city.
I made a leonin hexblade warlock starting it next week can't wait to see how it goes
Nice!
@@SkullSplitter also doing icewindale
I'm thinking about doing Leonin echo knight.
Thank you for this video!
Im thinking of doing a leonin druid!
playing a Leonin Barbarian on the Zealot path lvl 6 right now. its lots of fun
Huzzah! What made you choose zealot?
@@SkullSplitter the benefits worked for me as we have a cleric in our group
Im creating a leonin Barbarian influenced by Hercules.
does he wear a skinned human as a cape?
I have an idea for a Gladiator Leonin Rune Knight.
nice!
I'm making a Leonin monk/samurai
Demon lion for the win
Have you played one?
Im planning to play as Leonin Warlock Hexblade or Undeath
Sad that I cant use this on any boss or anything like it. Cause my DM said that they are not scared of me .-.
That's really...odd.
Your dm sucks lol
A tiger Leonin? Jaguar Leonin? 🤔
Here's some advice on roleplaying a Leonin hero/heroine, and creating heroic/villainous Leonin NPCs and this comes from what I know from the lore first presented in Magic The Gathering. Basically if you create a villainous Leonin NPC go with the stereotype of being a super-arrogant/egotistical xenophobe basically Leonin extremists who are most of the time Iconocasts. For creating heroic Leonin NPCs, and/or roleplaying as a Leonin hero/heroine go with the attitude most Leonin have that being cocky, and competitive yes but not super-arrogant/egotistical, and not xenophobic and willing to trust others of other races but still understandably cautious due to that incident involving that one infamous Archon Tyrant.
Making a leonin swarmkeeper ranger. The swarm? PUPPIES
Where'd you get this idea from?
@@SkullSplitter myself after one too many drinks haha
Please say "lycan subscribe", when talking about bloodhunter subclasses
Is it safe for me to mix my race and do Half Leonin half orc of Eberron?
When you say "safe" what do you mean?
Ajanai rises no class fits jace but in my eyes charnda Ileana nissa and rip gideon could be made in dnd
I don't get why they can't just make leonin bit cats in general
nothing stopping *you* from doing it
Are lions forced, can I make a more cheetah?
You can kinda do whatever your DM allows =)
Are minotaurs the biggest medium sized?
🤷♂️
It just says they over 6 feet tall so I assume 7 feet max then so then by that Goliaths should be the largest since it just says they are 8 feet tall
No. Based on the leonin Random Height and Weight table, an average one is 6'5" tall and weighs 257 pounds. This makes them bigger (on average) than orcs, minotaurs, and dragonborn, but smaller than firbolgs, goliaths, bugbears, and loxodon.
Do female leonin have manes
Do you want them to?
Some players do have the Leonin heroines they create and RP have manes like males if the DM allows it. But most DMs and players keep to the tradition of female Leonin having human hairstyles with the most common two human hairstyles used being medium to short, and the long hair tied in a ponytail.
They look more human than the males. Smaller manes
