    LIONS, TIGERS, AND CATFOLK, OH MY!
    Wanderers from a far-off land, precocious minstrels and thieves, the Tabaxi 5e race are the quintessential catfolk of the D&D multiverse that we got introduced in "Volo's Guide to Monsters". Tabaxi range from lion-esque noble felines to mangy alley cat pickpockets and everything in between. Tabaxi can make for some wonderfully flavorful and fun characters, so let’s take these cats out of the bag and go through everything you need to know.

    in my first DnD game im playing a tabaxi barbarian named Vincent. He was born and raised in a circus by his mother. The beautiful tigress bard played the Lyre to support some of the various graceful circus acts. At one of the towns they visited she met a lion (or liger, i havent decided) with Lycanthrope. The two hit it off (another player having been good friends with Vincent's mother being her wingman) and not long after leaving the town for their next performance, she found she was pregnant. Unable to send word or find the man again she raised her Liger half-lycanthrope son alone (at lvl 3 for barbarian i got to choose the beast sub class). Vincent became the circus strong-man, his strength stat being 18 (+4). One day at a town they were purchasing supplies for their next travel and a stranger aproached Vincent with some produce as a "gift". The fruits were poisoned but Vincent didn't know. During their next travel his mother discovered the fruit and was the first to eat some. She quickly fell ill and died. Some of the circus crew blame Vincent for his mother's death, Vincent feeling quite guilty as well. The campaign will start with us about to leave the circus and meet the other 2 players. the DM might do something fun with the unknown father, we'll see

    I'm currently playing a Tabaxi Warlock, Pact of the Great Old One. Think Serval Cat from a desert climate. RP with a weird syntax, call other people by a descriptive term (I refer to our party's Tiefling Swashbuckler as "the Dark One" or "the Slippery One"- his sexual proclivities and penchant for dropping items at key moments). The Pact of the Great Old One lets me really dial up the creepy/unsettling factor coupled with his weird speaking mannerisms. Love this race.

    The Tabaxi Barbarian is surprisingly effective!
    If there is one thing Barbs want to do it is get into the enemy's face on the first round of combat. A 40 ft movement speed, coupled with Feline Agility and the Feral Instinct feature from Tasha's means that you can do that in nearly every battle you will face. That's 40 + 20 x 2.
    That's a 120 ft movement speed and you're still able to attack.
    Their latest iteration in Volo's also gives them a climbing speed equal to their walking speed. So even if the enemy is up high, you can still reach them.

    This might be the perfect place to seek help building my next character. For Rime of the Frostmaiden, I want to build a bard. I love the idea of a reclusive snow leopard clan of Tabaxi, who have sent out an envoy to find out what is affecting their homeland. The problem is, I am torn between the college of swords or the college of lore. A blade dancer wielding two scimitars, fighting and casting in a capoeira-esque dance fighting style. Or an innately curious, lore driven cat, uninterested in anything but the truth of the matter, seeking only to heal the land for his people.
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Rolled a tabaxi dex cleric (flavored as shaman) with rogue 2 dip a while back, and he's been a total blast to play. Cunning action + cat dashes give so much mobility while doing cleric things, an insane amount of skill proficiencies, and he does a lot of pseudo-ranger work. RP wise, so many opportunities to give flavor to otherwise mundane encounters.

    Hi, so I have a question for curiosity. I have never played dnd and I don't know if I would have the opportunity to play. However, I am trying to figure out a build for a Tabaxi Fighter who later would learn magic. At the beginning I was thinking about Eldritch Knight since it sounded cool. But then I realize I would need INT and Tabaxi doesn't help me with it. I was planning to do it anyway and put a lot of INT, since I am stubborn and I want to stay a Tabaxi Fighter and I still want to do magic, however I felt bad not using my bonus in +2 DEX and +1 CHA. I think I can use my + 2 DEX for dual wielding and AC (and other stuff I still don't know a lot) so I wouldn't be wasting it to much, however, my CHA would be non existing if I try to go for a INT Tabaxi. I was thinking instead in multiclassing and use that +1 CHA for either Sorcerer or Warlock (or even both since Sorclock sounds cool) since their kind of magic use CHA instead of INT. So, several questions, can an Eldritch Knight merge well with a Sorlock or if is to OP, just sorcerer or warlock? If I want to multiclass any of those, should my Tabaxi Fighter stay Fighter and not take The Eldritch Knight subclass? Is there an Eldritch Knight equivalent but with warlock so I can drop INT and still have the benefit of Eldritch Knight? Or should I do it anyway using the rules of cool. For now my Fighter , since I don't know if I would need INT or not, is +2STR +2CHA +1DEX +1CON +1INT -1WIS. Should I drop INT like WIS and level up more a different modifier? I don't know if I would ever play but one never know.

    Currently playing as a khajiit/tabaxi now. Rogue/hermit-- weird, I know.
    Her obsession is an adolescent kitten who she claims to be her younger alfiq brother. But the rest of the party thinks he's just a normal housecat she adopted, because he never speaks. This suspicion is understandable, because she fried her brain accidentally ODing on skooma, and has some memory loss. Regardless, she dotes on him endlessly, and brings him everywhere.
