====== Rakashans ======
{{tag>Race}}

Rakashans have the form of humans with the features of felines. They come in a wide variety: the bright colors of tigers, the speckled hides of leopards, and the exotic look of Siamese cats are all appropriate. They have sharp claws and teeth and a cruel nature when it comes to dealing with their prey.

Rakashans can be found in their own remote and exotic cities or as fringe elements of normal society. While they are too beautiful to be shunned, they are too foreign to be easily accepted. 

  * **Agile**: Rakashans have the feline grace of their ancestors. They start with a d6 [[attributes:agility|Agility]] attribute instead of a d4.
  * **Bloodthirsty**: Rakashans can be cruel to their foes, often toying with them for simple amusement. They rarely take prisoners and feel little compunction about punishing captured foes. This causes a -4 [[traits:charisma|Charisma]] penalty among more "civilized" types.
  * **Racial Enemy**: Rakashan society rose at the expense of another. Pick a common race in your setting. Members of each culture suffer a -4 [[traits:charisma|Charisma]] when dealing with each other. Unless fettered by other authorities or common goals, individuals of the two races typically attack each other on sight.
  * **Claws**: Rakashans have retractable claws that do [[attributes:strength|Str]]+d6 damage and grant +2 to [[skills:climbing|Climbing]] rolls on all but completely sheer surfaces.
  * **[[rules:low-light-vision|Low Light Vision]]**: Rakashan eyes amplify light. They can see in the dark and ignore attack penalties for [[rules:low-light-vision|Dim and Dark lighting]].
