Inspired primarily by the leonin art in Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed books, magic cards, African folk tales and getting our paws on the shiny new rules me and Melissa went to work building a new race.
Lionfolk: Living in southern Gerund the reclusive natives to that continents plains are a young race. Newly emerging from mysterious origins the lionfolk's first encounter with humanity was a group of Chelish slavers who decided they would serve magnificently in chains. Capturing a lionin (as they call themselves) proved almost as difficult as keeping it alive afterward making them a rare but prized site in the slave pens. Some few have escaped captivity and make their way out of Cheliax and to the plains of Varisia where the naive nomadic peoples have shown these rare few a different side of humanity. Though the greater majority of the race still resides on the plains of Gerund.
Lionfolk (humanoid (leonine)). +2 str, +2 cha, -2 int. +1 natural armor. Lowlight vision. Speaks Leonine only base, bonus languages Mwangi, Gnoll, Common. +10 movement on a charge. +2 vs. fear. +2 dodge bonus to AC and CMB checks against humans. Perception and Stealth always in class.
I like this build... I'm tempted to even use it for the house game I DM.
(With permission, of course)
I was originally going to say you would save an extra point off (making it completely standard) by getting rid of Stalker- ... but thinking of the 'Lionfolk' without it would be a little odd :P
Having built a race or two on my own I have to say that its defiantly a lot more fun as a collaboration project.
This is why I poach from these threads soooo much. Other people tend to scour the BS from 'favorite' projects. It's like peer review by people that give a rat's patootie.
