    “You’re playing a cat.” Honestly that’s gotta be one of the best ways to describe the beast like races. Lizardfolk, you’re playing a lizard, Yuan-ti you’re playing a snake, Kenku you’re playing a raven, Aacroka you’re playing a bird.

    • @weezact7
      @weezact7 3 года назад +20

      Ehhhhhhh, I don't know. I think the beast races' adherence to their animal inspiration varies. For instance, Gnolls are (usually) stupid murderers whose only social structure is "big man on top", but real life hyenas are A) matriarchal, B) Have an incredibly nuanced social structure complete with their own fucking NAMES (I mean, they're just like yips and barks, but each hyena has a unique combination that they and their pack use to refer to that specific Hyena. How cool is that?), C) Are intelligent enough to have a means of communication that borders on an actual (if very simple) language, and D) Are only aggressive sometimes because, you know, they need to eat.
      Kenku's intelligence is mostly just mimicry, but Ravens (and corvids in general) are actually VERY intelligent and creative. Though they can also mimic things. Yuan-Ti are WAAAAY more active than snakes. Depending on the lizard in question, a Lizardfolk might be LESS emotional than a real-life lizard. I've seen people play with big monitor lizards like dogs. They fucking play fetch with their 6ft lizard.
      But yes, Tabaxi are pretty much just cats. Except they don't try to murder you on a whim because you brushed your hand against them.

  • @mentalrebllion1270
    @mentalrebllion1270 Год назад +1

    I just finished up a mini campaign with my tabaxi scout rogue. They have a hermit background and are known to work as a contractor for candlekeep (it’s a mutually beneficial arrangement) and go out and research flora, fauna, and ancient ruins/caverns (they know dwarven and undercommon from all their research). This arrangement is beneficial to them because they grew up in a caravan family with many children. As my tabaxi is a bit quieter and more reclusive, far more of an introverted personality, they often took off for their own “mini adventures” as a kid and self taught themselves the basics of being a scout. They did gain a mentor who is their sponsor for candlekeep and was given bracers of archery and a bag of holding from them to take on their journeys as an adult. When my character became an adult they left their caravan family behind, promising to send letters and journals filled with notes and drawings from their adventures back to keep their family informed, reassured, and amused by their antics. This is how their story starts. I gave my character a deep curiosity of the natural world and the past and they like to collect things. They don’t really steal, not really at least, though they obviously pick up stuff during a dungeon crawl. Most times they sell back the historical and magical items they don’t keep for themselves to candlekeep. Though valuables aren’t all they collect. My tabaxi is somewhat practical and also has a slight obsession with being over prepared. Their bag of holding is filled with tons of mundane items from shovels to spyglasses to pretty leaves. They will of course trade easily and if you gift them an item of practical value they will give you something in return (I did this with a silvered +1 returning dagger and gave the player a healing potion, my character can make them, and a poleof collapsing). They just keep tons of stuff on themselves at all times, even extra signal whistles and tents, and cold weather clothes. Heck, they have a costume even and soap (who buys soap? Or keeps empty vials for that matter? Or a whetstone?). My party members and the dm loved how my character turned out as he was everything practical but everything comedic too, especially when I would have him say “Wait, I think I got something for this” and dig so far into his bag of holding you could only see his lower body and swishing tail and occasionally a random item would be thrown out as he digs. It all came in handy eventually though he definitely lost some items along the way, mostly his ball bearings and some unlit candles he was using to mark the path. He plans to pick up some incense sometime soon as, now in the epilogue he is going to travel with the wizard to candlekeep (they realized they were headed the same direction). It’s been fun to play this character. Had no magic but it was amazing and powerful nevertheless and he served his party well with his many abilities. I really enjoyed playing him and hope to bring him back from retirement sometime.
    Oh and I should probably mention this. Part of why my dm loved this character is that he loved how creatively my character would use mundane items. He said they are under used and he hadn’t thought to use them the ways I would or would have my character use them and he would talk to his main dnd group (we were playtesting a dungeon in preparation for the main group) about some of the antics I got up to so they too might consider spending their excessive coin on such things and have fun with it. I genuinely was just doing this to test myself on how much trouble I could get into and how much I could break with as little magic as I could gat away with.

He has gold but doesn’t really know it’s true value, to him they are just shiny pieces.

    The Cat Lord also appeared in Planescape (Monstrous Compendium I), where she (actually a cat lady) was one of the animal lords of the Beastlands. She was a "quasigod", who could shift between human and panther forms, and she was busy helping the cats and other felines throughout the multiverse. Also, an animal lord may die, and then another spirit takes its place. So we may have different Cat Lords throughout D&D editions.

    After leaving home, he was taken in by a wizard as a 2nd apprentice. Alas the wizard would infect their minds with the whisperings of demons while they slept, thus enables him to access his spells through memory. (Op i know.)
    He loved his adventures so much, he sought out to become a lich, and have adventures forever 💚🖤
