My daughter plays a tabaxi almost every chance she gets. She really leans in to the whole cat thing. She attacks the toes of other players at night, sleeps in boxes or on unattended clothing, and always starts fights at the tavern by knocking drinks off the bar.
Thats pretty great, I think the attacking of feet is pretty clever.
@@Rookzer0 She calls it "taking a feet."
@@CrownRock1 bloody gold.
Lol boxes, I usually go for the rafters if sleeping is indoors
I feel tempted to play exclusively tabaxi but that'd obviously be boring, with my current tabaxi rogue I have had her drink milk at a tavern and I hope to knock things off tables and cough up hairballs at every opportunity I get.
This video is just so sporadic it fits the cat vibe perfectly
I really tried to channel my inner purr demon.
You don’t need to rest to use feline agility all you need to do is move 0 feet for one turn and then you can use it again.
Really?? Good to know!
Yeah no problem man :) I really enjoyed the video I just thought I would let you know
@@Rookzer0 It is super good for melee characters because you're going to get stuck in at some point so your guaranteed to be able to use it more than once in a fight to murder pesky ranged enemies who thought they where a safe distance away.
Wait... Does that mean they're doing the little butt wiggle that cats do while calibrating their pounce?
My gf made A character named tabasco the tabaxi, her miniature was a tiny bottle of tabasco, and yeah she played a bard.
That's really great! I had a player name his cleric Tabasco, and them presume to paint his gnome mini into a Tabasco bottle.. was pretty great all around.
Was she a..."spicy" addition to the party? 😏
@@SunBrohan lol
@@SunBrohan she played an e-girl, it was glorious
@@mathieugariepy2306 That's pretty hilarious!
We've got a girl running a erotic dancing dragonborn female with the stage name "Titdebotums" she's all spice and not sweet in the slightest.
I liked how sparadic and wandering the commentary is, it feels like what would happen if my ADHD ass had to sit down and do commentary. Absolutely love it, and of course I love the wonderful artwork you always provide for your community's viewing pleasure.
:D I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!
THAT IS THE PERFECT DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU!
I’m playing a Tabaxi storm sorcerer in a friend’s campaign, and she may be my favorite character I’ve played as in D&D. Some of her notable adventures include pretending to be a lamp salesperson, witch-bolting a cyclops’ arm off, and convincing a pseudodragon to pursue a directing career and stop working under a narcissistic blue dragon. Right now, she’s not doing too well emotionally because the aforementioned blue dragon may have killed the party’s paladin, and she was the one who started the started the scuffle.
In our latest campaign our paladin was killed by a PC necromancer. We revived her as an anti paladin and now the two of them have their own campaign. Sadly we don't have a tabaxi in the group. I hope things work out for the best!
They actually make good Sorcerers, best as probably a Draconic bloodline since the bonus dex goes directly into your ac, your Fly speed after getting wings is linked to your movement speed, in general, your Tabaxi sorcerer is a kiting machine able to keep itself at a safe distance or climb to an inaccessible spot overall your mobility makes you dramatically harder to take down than say your average human.
FLYING DRAGON CAT!!!
@@Rookzer0 Three words that would only make sense in Dungeons and Dragons
Ended up playing as a Tabaxi Bard/Monk with a starting Dex and Chars of 18.
My DM had this to say:
"...oh no."
Ha ha that was my first though too
I play a rogue with 20 dex 18 cha everything else is 12, plus a custom (DM created) ring of passive invisibly, it ended up an incredibly over powered build until about level 8 when the rest of the party started catching up were lv 12 almost 13 now
*we hit lv 13 on Tuesday and I took a level of Twilight Cleric so I have not only a +10 to initiative, but now also advantage on initiative rolls, also have a +13 to my proficiency and any roll 9 or lower is treated as a 10.... so even a crit fail is a 23 (slight of hand, stealth etc) I am slightly re-broken again
My 11 year old has a D&D class this year as an elective, and your character breakdowns are giving some incredible material for these kids. My kid is a slime and his best friend is creating a Tabaxi. Thanks, mate
That sounds awesome! Im glad to see a new generation of writers and storytellers!
Only cat owners know the true horrors of bathroom expeditions. Many toes have been nibbled on by the night walkers, yet they are forgiven, as they always will be
Actually a Tabaxi Barbarian and Fighter is pretty fun to run around with, since you can either tank a lot or just be a DPS machine with the right build.
good point
I know this is an old video, but I’ve been trying to get the anatomy right to make my own tabaxi character and this has really helped… thanks man
Tabaxi druid I think is underrated as a concept. I'm playing one (albeit in a sci fi campaign because I'm weird), and unless she needs to wildshape into something specific for tactical purposes, she pretty much exclusively wildshapes into a house cat or a panther.
I dig that idea!
tabaxi rogue soulknife character: Over Powered
Psychic kitty sounds pretty awesome
I'm playing my first dnd game and im making a tabaxi sorcerer and this video is really fun! also your painting style is very inspiring!
thank you, I hope you enjoy playing tabaxi let me know how your game goes!
I have been working on a setting that is Tabaxi based. A long time ago, this one Tabaxi thought ‘hey, our original homeland doesn’t exist anymore, imma make one!’ He then walked into the desert, and made a giant mountain and huge river. And when I say huge river, I mean he basically took the Nile, shoved the source into a mountain, curled the river around the mountain in a crescent, and then shoved the Amazon River into it.
Now, his descendants rule an empire of Tabaxi kept safe by powerful artifacts, enchantments, and guardians tied to deep histories and stories that the First King, that guy who turned a chunk of a desert into jungles, forests, swamps, grasslands, and hills, collected over his LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG life. It is said that if you wish to learn or find anything, a secret weakness, a hidden artifact, a lost tomb, then this empire holds the secrets you seek.
I have a ton of stuff for it, if you are interested in anything more, go ahead and tell me, I’d love to share some!
Sounds like a pretty good set up. I assume the first king isn't around anymore? Let me know how it plays out!
I played a tabaxi fighter with the soldier background in a Roll20 game. Skinned her as a Mayan Jaguar Warrior with an obsidian club, hide covered shield, and ceremonial turquoise dagger that she used to cut out the hearts of her enemies. The character was searching for the lost Eagle Warriors so she would stalk birds to find out if they knew anything about the missing eagle tribe. She ended up being carried off to a mountainside village of Aarakocra so I guess she found what she was looking for.
Thats a nice little character arc,
Did think end well for her in the viilage?
P.s. i thought that said tarrasque dagger at first...
@@Rookzer0 I imagine that she lived with the bird people for a while but eventually missed the privilege of nobility and returned to The Empire with as many Eagle Warriors as she could persuade.
Also, now I am thinking of a character that uses a tarrasque tooth/claw as a rapier/scimitar and brandishing it makes people panic that the creature might be nearby.
@@dandelionv1257 that would ve pretty awesome. I like the idea of items that grant bonuses to intimidate. Or bonuses that arnt immediately obvious like possible extea siege damage on a dagger could be fun.
@@Rookzer0
That sounds like a dagger made from it's claw.
I really love these vids. Stuff I hadn't considered gets brought up for these races and it just makes me want to make yet another character that I might not get a chance to play. Lol. The videos are also amusing to just listen to. Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks, I'm always open for ideas if you have some fun characters to share. I had a problem about making characters i never got to play and it turned into me DMing 3 to 4 times a week :)
Puss in Boots: A Tabaxi Swashbuckler Rogue
Had a recent private homebrew dnd campaign at my friends place. A world of massive floating islands in the sky, very fantasy sci fi ish, hints of Final Fantasy too. My character was a black furred, green eyes Siamese Tabaxi sharpshooter(sniper) named Azula Kresh. Spoke her with a russian accent. Kinda a loner but easy going once people got to know her. She like the squad(the party) were referred to by some big shoot mayor of a private sky island, owned the whole place and hired our crew for missions and fetch quests. Got VERY rich from that man. 😅
New sub. New to D&D. Not new to concept of turn based strat or WOW like concepts of combat and managing slots and spell cool downs etc. Thank you for the video and artwork. It’s inspiring me to create my own for my character(s).
I look forward to finding more inspirational images and content. 🤘🏼🙏🏼
Found this video while doing research for a Tabaxi character built to go fast and hard (with fists) kinda inspired by the Flash named Bari Al’ann. Great artwork and I love the alternative Tabaxi ideas.
Yeah Let me know if you end up using any of them
I just learned about this race last week. My best friend wants to do a DnD campaign and I have never played before. I am going to be a Rouge Tabaxi who is a tiger.
Sounds like a great character
im playing a dex fighter its gonna be fun
I've got a handful of Tabaxi characters, I find their racial bonuses pretty neat!
do you have a favorite?
@@Rookzer0 my favorite at the moment is my Tabaxi Ranger named Hawk Feather. He was tasked with helping the party traverse the forests near King's Reach by a mage who works at one of the taverns there (I joined the campaign late)
One time I built a Tabaxi ranger that drinks milk which is why he has such high constitution furthermore, he has a cat friend that he used to distract enemies with his cuteness so he can steal from them, the DM permitted it and I rolled a 20 for performance so I went into the dudes basement stole all his gems place them into the chest of a nearby merchant, framed him for stealing his gems and he gave them to us man Tabaxi are fun.
When I finally get back to playing D&D. My player character is going to be a Tabaxi.
Nice any idea on class?
@@Rookzer0 Well if I can find a DM that allows homebrew I was going to go with Gunslinger if not Inquisitive Rouge.
@@derrickhaggard Both can be really fun. Let me know if you start one up!
@@Rookzer0 Sure thing. For background I was thinking of going with a homebrew background(if I can find a DM who allows homebrew) called Archeologist due to it sounding like something fit for a Tabaxi.
@@derrickhaggard Make sure they get a dope hat
i miss rot pelt my favorite tabaxi character iv ever made he was a reborn skinned from head to his hip and his pelt would just hang there like a waist cloth
Made a Tabaxi Twilight Cleric. Was a toss up between Arcana - obsessed with magical artifacts, magic and learning new things to do or Twilight - as Cats as mostly nocturnal.
Night tabaxi sounds like a fun idea.
I’m currently working on a Tabaxi character he’s a Lion like tabaxi and his name is Curious he’s in very early stages of creation but I would love to play as him one day (I’m also really new to the DnD community so I’m trying to understand everything I’m doing my best)
I appreciate using tabaxi over lionids.
I'm currently working on a Tabaxi Rogue as a backup character, Hidden Gift (known to her friends as "Hidden") of the Flickering Jungle clan. I actually only found out about the Tabaxi about a week ago. I'm very disappointed in myself for not knowing about this wonderful race.
Tabaxi are surprisingly good barbarians who are the bane of enemy spellcasters because you can rush them down before they get off too many spells.
move speed it king!
I was a wizard tabaxi
Tabaxi bard? Hello! A purr-verted Tabaxi bard who is a peeping tom-cat who uses his climbing ability to get over the wall and into women's bath houses just like in anime. He gets away with because "cat "but also because silver tongue.
P.S The secret to his super silky voice? Special milk from a certain monster.
Mineta if he was a cat...
Or, you could go the Miroku route with a lecherous Monk :p
one thing they do very well is counter ballance the typically edgy classes of Rouge and Warlock or sometimes rangers sure they can have their moments of dark brooding but then the half orc scritches behind their ear XD
Thats pretty good. Have you seen the lazer pointer ring?
She's looking great.
Thank you
My cat was rubbing on my phone as I was watching this
I made a tabaxi that was an oriental shorthair raised by goblins
black panther is a totem warrior..
Rookzer0 approved
Played (Technically still playing, just got on hold like half a year ago thanks to the pandemic.) Rime of the Frostmaiden. Spoilers ahead.
Actually played a gnoll swashbuckler (A survivor from the pirate ship Dark Duchess no less.) not a tabaxi, but there was a tabaxi artificer in the party, a good looking female too. So the gnoll who was pretty much a hedonistic sleazebag who liked to take whatever life offered made one of his usual crude passes at her. She was the kind-hearhted sort who could not walk past an injured animal without helping it.
He was neutral evil, she was chaotic good. He was a large ugly hyena-man, she was a short cute snow leopard girl. No way would anything happen, or if it did, it would not work, right?
But instead of a fight, or one of his one night stand-s with whatever humanoid female that struck his fancy and did not put up too much of a resistance, it ended up with an actual romance and a kind of a redemption ark for my gnoll pirate. To the point that when it came to the cackle casm quest, he tried to similarly redeem the gnoll tribe snatching people from the roads between the ten towns. Best he could do was teach them fishing so they would stop starving and could be convinced to not provoke the humans anymore, but hey, progress. Most of the rest of the party believed he only did it to get the leadership of the tribe and to get together with Chiska, the large albino gnoll female who lead them until then.
To their surprise it was at that point that it became known for the whole party, that he would not trade anything for what he already had with the tabaxi artificer.
I enjoy your use of language sir ^-^ very entertaining and informative! Subbed!
Thank you much, I'm glad you enjoyed it
As another commenter mentioned, your sudden and sharp tangents makes my ADHD feel understood. I know many might see that as distracting, but it’s the best part. All of a sudden, ‘wait, is _____? What about ______? Is _______? Anyway, I was saying-‘ it’s my god damn brain. Do you have ADHD, or do you just not want to cut the very entertaining bits out?
Glad to hear!
going to play dnd for the first time and with out watch critikol roll was thinking tabaxi arcan rogue
Talk to your dm about getting a cat scratch with your mage hand! Good luck woth your game.
@@Rookzer0 yes i will try it is an awesome idea and see how it goes
@@Rookzer0 got a no on it he said that do to that it so light 10 pounds not
enough impact and it is more of a telekinesis thing so what you going to do a no is a no
Thanks for making this video! Like the rest, its a riot!
Thank you good sir!
I'm actually really wanting to make my first D&D character a Tabaxi because of a lot of reasons, after watching this I have more reasons
Tabaxi can be a lot of fun
@@Rookzer0 they really seem like it, though I'll admit I do want to change my Tabaxi a little to be more serious due to his backstory but still have some funny cat behaviors too, like having a wise old wizard who also a little senile, that kind of random funny
Im joining a campaign with my friends and my character is a tabaxi warlock!
Do you have a video on explaining your process for doing highlights / shadows? I see this method of yours done in other speedpaints but I've never found a video explaining it.
Hrmm some of my videos touch on it but I talk a lot about it in the live streams. I could make a video on it people would find that useful
I don't have a group of people to play with but I wanted to create to a snow leopard tabaxi rouge/bard
Very cool look for a tabaxi, feel free to ask around in the LFG on the discord. There are some reddit and discord for pathfinder and 5e
I'm hoping to run a Tabaxi Warlock (Great Old One) in my friend's campaign. The rona kind of messed that up though.
mage hand says it cant make attacks, but it doesn't say i cant pick up blade or sword and nonchalantly move it into the jugular of my enemy, or drop a really heavy object on their head.
An argument can be made
I am considering a tabaxi or leonin for my next charecter. But im thinging more sabertooth tiger than other cats for the moment, and more brute-ish build think rengar from league of legends. But more of a not to edgelord build abit like some of bauregardes backstory from CR. the "problematic" child with some Engeenuety but but rogue instead of monk. I kind of like the idea about being a rogue but not nessesarily be the i grew up on the street guy. Even neutral good-ish. Still dont know how i would build exactly but those are some ideas i have. A nice giant with a set of questionable skills.
LVL 18 one shot tabaxi rogue bard next weekend!
Nice, let me know how it goes. What type of performance do you do?
So it's kind of like the Kobolds how we originally started as monsters but sense now we're also playable characters as well we've had to get some Buffs in certain areas while also losing a lot of the other things that we naturally had as monsters. Nice video by the way I always wanted to try one of these cat folks but I don't know if it's Aventure legal illegal to play one and I already play a kobold so if I just play one of these guys now people will just assume I am a furry. I'm sorry I just like playing the odd races that are not humans I mean this is D&D were talking about we have thousands of creatures we can be but everybody just wants to be the variant human.
It should be adventure league legal but Im not 100% sure. Id love to find out though. If anyone can answer that please do.
And i wouldnt worry to much about the furry thing, when i was a kid dnd was looked at as being really wierd by its self. People will always be judgemental about stuff best to just do what you enjoy!
@@Rookzer0 oh trust me I have no issue with people call me that are not. I mean my second character that I play is a Dragonborn because half dragons are not allowed in adventurers League what makes no sense but I guess it does. But you said something about becoming a patreon by the end of your video you mind if I ask what are your prices because I might have you as my very first person I support on patreon
@@goldtoothslair3052 Good on ya! Half dragons have some pretty sweet buffs, As for Patreon, I'm asking for a dollar a month, and for that I give access to all the transparent character files as well as digital token assets for roll 20 or printing character tokens
@@Rookzer0 okay sweet I can definitely do a dollar a month once I get out of work I'll set up a patreon end be one of your supporters
@@goldtoothslair3052 Thank you! made my day!
So I like to build regional variance into my campaigns so Lynx, Jaguar and Ocelot Tabaxi are going to be a thing.
I dig it, cool way to ad some variety
I want to make a Tabaxi, based on a lynx
There is some cool chatacter art out there for you if you do! Let me know how the build goes. Also get pounce!
I’ve actually done that. Homebrew lynx Tabaxi with benefits in ice and snow. Made him a super Scottish bard with a bagpipe; he was the most fun character I ever role-played.
@@goldfencer Really cool idea, That could be a fun character to draw.
A thundercats campaign? How have I never heard of this? XD
Throw the sword of omen in there and get it on!
Right on!
After I look it up to refresh my memory lol
Never played dnd so two questions.
1. Can you have more than one character?
2. If yes, how should I make a tabaxi and small war forged to make Ratchet and Clank?
Ha ha I would absolutely allow that in one of my games.
I'm making a Village of tabaxi but not having much luck figuring out their coulture. Should it be in the desert or the forest or snow? Mountains? Trying to fit a lot of races on this map so we have some verity
I would decided if the map or the Tabaxi are more important then let that inform the other.
Ex. If it is a mountain town - maybe they are Tabaxi that look like Mountain lions, If its a snowy area or High mountains maybe they look like Lynx.
Low land cats could look like house cats or Lions. ect.
I think it was Scott McCloud that said the world should inform your characters and the charters should inform your world.
Pick which is the most important and start letting it fill out what makes the most sense!
Let me know what you come up with!
@@Rookzer0 actually that's kinda what we did. We picked Sand Cats(from Africa and assia) and put them in the desert with arches and red sand stone. I'm excited for this
@@annebird9195 I dig it! let me know if you get some art up of them! feel free to use my tabaxi image for references in game if you need them.
@@Rookzer0 I appreciate that thanks. Probably won't be for a few months, but they're on the map to be used if/when the party goes that way.
Thanks for replying and giving some advice, I'll have to check out your other stuff and see if that's useful too. Thanks!
Nice vid dude.
Thanks!
Watch Kats!
When your tabaxi eats catnip
Hey guys you should try this thing
"You spice?" Scanlan Shorthalt
What's the difference between Tabaxi and Leonin?
In my mind.... nothing...
I'd love to talk in the Discord, wheres the invite link?
Right now its just for patrons, as I'm still setting up mods and getting everything set. once its up and running I will throw out invites for those who want them :) right now check out the r/characterdrawing on reddit for a cool community i frequent.
@@Rookzer0 got it, thanks for the info
Tobacco :)
Tabasco :P
A tiger tabaxi shouldnt use bite a tigers bite is way weaker than just their front limbs and claws ,jaguars should use bite they have the strongest bite among all cats
do you need to buy anything to make a tabaxi character? (exept dice to play ofc)
same question goes for gnolls and ratfolk
I'm not sure and new to dnd
You shouldn't have to. You can homebrew it on dnd beyond and as for buying the books you can get a lot of the info from the SRD and wiki.
I'm french and tabby doesn't have a french root
Well poop. I got it from the wiki,
The English term tabby originates from the translation of the French phrase "striped silk taffeta," the root of which is tabis, meaning "a rich watered silk." This can be further traced to the Middle French atabis (14th century), which stemmed from the Arabic term attabiya.
Is any of that true, or is it all a lie?!?!?!
@@Rookzer0 Ok, so it's an old French root. No need to poop things up.
what tool did you use to make this drawing?
Photoshop cc
I came to the comments looking for people who have said first
Wait I’m first
And second I belive. Well done!
Rookzer0 thank you
Your drawing was great, except for the feet, they seem really short.
The feet are my bane...
@@Rookzer0 I hate ears. Why do we have them? No character should be given them. I'm certainly not drawing them.
You are completely correct at the lack of typical cat features. Cats are apex predators yet in d&d they are a joke. Furry jokes don't help, cheap shot really.
