Full Moon Tabaxi

Born at the apex of the moon's power, full moon tabaxi have very little in common with their humanoid brethren. Resembling muscular lions, tigers, panthers, and other big cats, but with broader muscles and larger fangs, with long toes that are the vestigial remains of the hands and feet found on normal tabaxi.   To the uninitiated, full moon tabaxi resemble nothing more than mindless beasts, but this is could not be further from the truth. Like all tabaxi, they can speak and learn. Some develop deep philosophies on the nature of the line between man and beast. The great strength and size provided by the moon have their drawbacks, however, at all times a full moon tabaxi feels the constant urge to hunt prey and return to the wilds. Such emotions are found in all tabaxi, but in full moon tabaxi, this urge is hard to ignore. As such, many full moon tabaxi have a hard time developing skills that aren't related to combat or wilderness survival.   Common classes for full moon tabaxi include barbarians, oath of the ancient paladins, and rangers. A rare few choose to undergo dangerous arcane rituals in order to protect their weaker siblings and cousins from supernatural threats and become blood hunters.
