[D] Custom Race #1: The Felin
« on: January 01, 2012, 08:50:15 PM »
This has been superseded by the racial write-up above. I have decided to not give racial feats because if I do it for one, I have to do it for all.



I have been working on a few of the custom races for The World of Taluria and decided I'd release the first, completed race.




The Felin (fey-LYN) are a race of cat people and their looks are as varied as those of house cats and the great cats. Taluria is littered with Felin who act as merchants, shop owners, and generally the face of anything and everything related to commerce and trade in the legal world. The majority of merchants resemble lions, tigers, and other great cats while adventurers, explorers, and lower-class folk tend to resemble house cats and the lesser wild cats such as pumas, cheetahs, lynxes, and the like.

Felin have a long-standing rivalry with dwarves for market share since the dwarven race is notorious for their black market. Most Felin shop owners will treat all customers equally, however, regardless of race. They will never go back on a deal and will complete a commercial contract to the very letter. This level of dedication, trustworthiness, and non-bias towards other races (at least when dealing in commercial ventures) earns the Felin a near monopoly on all trade.

Of course, there are exceptions to the rule...
