Races of the Realms: Tabaxi - The Dungeoncast Ep.76

[@meerkatx]

I would love to see a show exploring various official D&D campaign settings; Birthright, Dark Sun, Planescape, Greyhawk, Eberron and anything else I've missed.

[@Thedungeoncast]

These are coming eventually.

[@joluoto]

Mystara, Ravenloft, Spelljammer, Dragonlance

[@SpaceCowboy5001]

I like that Tabaxi has been implemented as a race, I played one in several earlier editions, and enjoy that I now can play Castor Stormclaw, the tabaxi diviner(wizard). I will purr at friends and claw at enemies, also his familiar is a small songbird called Lucky, occasionally Lucky gets swapped and/or eaten, but reappears soon thereafter thanks to find familiar :) Also, great show guys, I always recommend players listening to your show when before they dive into a specific class or race. :)

[@Shmaardvark]

My Tabaxi monk looks like a cheetah and is from the savannah in the far south-east of Faerun. And sounds like he's from Wakanda. This video was very helpful in building my character. Thanks guys!

[@Haunted_Gallows]

Finally a cheetah episode! I've been a DM for ten years, and I've been subbed to you since you had less than 100 subs, and NO ONE, source books included, could tell me if cheetahs outlived dogs or not! Until meow. Ladies and gentlepaws, they've done it. Thank you Will, thank you Brian. You've answered my decade long questions.

[@Thedungeoncast]

You're welcome! Thats what we are here for. To answer the hard questions.

[@sagesheahan6732]

Cat Lord says lazily: "I'm sorry, did you pray?" 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@BIGDADLORD]

YES, I just made a tabaxi college of swords bard. Great timing

[@themediocremaster2388]

Dude....a Tabaxi paladin would be sick...

[@sagesheahan6732]

So would a Tabaxi warlock

[@seanw159]

Just made a Tabaxi Paladin for a new campaign. Lion type (well, lioness lol)

[@J_liz]

@@sagesheahan6732 just made a tabaxi warlock with a pirate background

[@cadecook8067]

khajiit has wares if you have coin

[@Licjr]

Lee Cook A guy I used to play with had a Tabaxi rogue named Khajit. He eventually retired to smuggle sallo (our d&dized version of cocaine) across the Sword Coast on a ship he "acquired). He was awesome

[@ilikegames828]

khajiit were actualy based of tabaxi

[@jasonniebuhr8607]

My party is playing Tomb of Annihilation and we had recently killed the insane Tabaxi assassin in Omu. My character was also a Tabaxi. The party was talking about giving him a proper burial, but all of the religious characters had failed their religion rolls to remember the last rites of followers of The Cat Lord. So I decided to say, “I don’t know about Chult, but in Maztica we push them off of high edges.” That became canon and now I know what will happen to my character when he eventually gets himself killed. (He tends to think just enough to get himself into trouble. He tried rigging the dinosaur race with a ball bearing trap so that a party member would win. All racers except the party member died including the son of one of the Merchant Lords and my Tabaxi has a huge bounty on his head. The party ran into a young dragon that the party had no chance of fighting head on. He climbed the dragon and tried strangling it by using a chain and crowbar as a garrote and twisting. That did cut off the fire breathe for a few turns before the dragon flew high into the air and dropped him. He would have instantly died if the paladin hadn’t caught him using all of her healing touch. One more point of damage would have killed him instantly and now he believes Tabaxi have 9 lives and he has lost 2 so far.)

[@derrickhaggard]

That is awesome and hilarious.

[@MrB_Chamberlain]

Hey that's my painting in the thumbnail! DOPENESS overload!

[@leorictristram4894]

Omg Brian summed up Tabaxi when he was like, this sceptre of destruction... and now it's mine.

[@alexandersmith9144]

I could easily see a Tabaxi Bard! They seem to line up purrrrrfectly~

[@piknic7986]

They make epic Bards of Lore! Great Rogues, obviously, good Sorcerers, and maybe decent Divination Wizards.

[@RufusMcTwigglefart]

I recently made a Tabaxi rogue/scout archetype. After taking the mobile feat, this dude is nearly untouchable in melee.

[@happytrees7274]

I'm going to play a Tabaxi in DnD so this was very helpful, thanks 😄

[@sethduzan4441]

Thunder... Thunder... Thundercats, HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[@TheLict0r]

I would be ever so grateful if you guys cover the morkoth. No one had yet to cover it and id like to hear your guy's take on it

[@Pantjay]

Stealing the Cheeto Mcguffin for my next campaign.

[@matteberhardt1750]

Playing as a Tabaxi monk tomorrow in a One Shot. Making my cat into a character

[@meerkatx]

Faerun is the main continent you'll find in Forgotten Realms. To the east is Kara-Tur, the south is Zakhara, to the west and south is Maztica and to the west is Anchrome. Strangely Tabaxi was also a name of Chultan human tribe iirc. Maztica is an analog of South America, and in the FR it originally had been invaded by Faerun explorers who were very conquistador like tendencies.

[@TheBogdanTV]

Because that was them back in 2e

[@UberBri]

According to National Geographic, Jaguars live 12-15 years, Leopards 12-17 years, and Cheetah 10-12 years.

[@tishabyte]

Cat Lord. lmao

[@derrickhaggard]

When I get back into D&D with 5e I'm going to do for my character a Tabaxi Gunslinger(if I can find a DM that allows Homebrew classes)who is a Treasure Hunter due him/her being blessed by the Cat Lord with a curiosity and fascination of the Forgotten Realms' history, and folklore/legends. Personality wise I was think about making his/her personality similar to Nathan Drake especially once he/she figures out what the artifact/legendary location at the heart of whatever adventure the party is on is he/she starts going into the more academic-esque detail with one of his/her party going "Will you please cut to the chase and get to the point already."

[@giraffedragon6110]

I’m making a tabaxi fighter. He’s a Persian cat VERY floofy head but the tail is trimmed to be less so. He has a plus 4 to intimidation I laugh every time imagining him intimidating a soldier to action.

[@skyenyc3661]

My first character ever was a Cat person way before we even knew about tabaxi being a thing. I named them Purrjaks. My name was Santiago and I was much more chaotic than puss in boots

[@MomsAgainstCatboys]

Now with the 2024 rules brought the college of dance which is a bard/monk bybrid... im interested to see how well Tabaxi work with that .

[@micdeezy95tillinfinity]

I'm gonna play a Tabaxi who is Archane Archer subclass wild magic. Going for like a magical sharpshooter that's likes to just run around and is easily excitable and quick to draw haha I think it'll be fun. Didn't even know anything about tabaxi before this, just came up with the idea lmao

[@yoshter135]

I’m gonna go Tabaxi Shadow monk, super excited

[@DragonGunzDorian]

Koops The Koopa I know this comment was made some time ago but I just had to like and comment simply because of the profile picture and name since I love paper Mario ttyd.

[@scatteredplanes6667]

You should do an Atlas video on each of the popular prime material planes. Like the ones from grey hawk, dragonlance, eberron and dark sun. Hec, if you really wanna get into it you can even look at the planeshift material wizards released.

[@dferver]

Could you please do an episode about the Sciurian? I play a giant black squirrel in a 2e homebrew. I would love to hear more about my character. Thanks for your consideration.

[@harleycriswell8504]

Funny thing I'm playing a tabaxe in my next campaign I'm going to be a bard rouge and a wagon house

[@theonlythingtofear9152]

I made a tabaxi whirling dervish, oh boy this'll be fun.

[@Gh0StF1sHy]

You should do one on Lorkhan.

[@Foxbate]

I am having a lot of fun with my warlock/Rogue tabaxi.

[@Dreg_s]

Can you look into the audio levels between your into/break music and the actual cast? It's way louder than your voices.

[@Thedungeoncast]

I will look into this. Thank you.

[@Dreg_s]

It's just a little jarring to turn volume down for the intro, then up for the cast, get blasted & turn it down for the first rift into the break (break outro is fine) then turn it back up for the second half of the episode. I'm listening on Soundcloud if that changes anything too.

[@AnyOccasionAsian]

I wanna use this for my next character! 😍 I’ll name her Felicia haha

[@meerkatx]

Selena is a good choice for a name for a cat woman.

[@iratevagabond204]

Goliaths were a 3.5 thing. Think their first appearance was in "Races of Stone".

[@kylemendoza8860]

Does the Australian version of Dungeons & Dragons have a Kangaroonoid ?

[@darrenkalkwarf4695]

As a side note the Tabaxi were originally back in 2nd ed. a tribe of humans in Chult.

[@ajl676]

21:25 For reference just to spread the information, a "butt ton" is a variation on the original term "a** load." A** being the word for a donkey at the time that the term was coined, an a** load was the amount of a certain thing (gold, wheat, stone, etc.), anything, that a single donkey could haul.

[@OnBr0kenW1ngs]

Ppl forget that big cats are more like dogs then their smaller domestic cat cousins.

[@ShugoAWay]

Lol that intro only way to make it better is if she rolled a 1 and got that info to shoe that even a blind deaf fool can tell it might not be for kids

[@Theonemanoffire]

I think tabaxi is a great sorcerer. Everything you do is qiuck, like quickened spell and feline agility lmao, I found out you can use feline agility with fly spell as well as mobile goes along with fly speed I’m pretty sure😂 so 70 feet fly base and 140 feline agility and if you get boots of speed your fast as shit😂 and sorcerer is just a great blaster and movement is a great utility for blasting as a glass cannon and if you take at least a level in rogue for athletics expertise you can carry Allie’s out of danger or just drop an enemy from like 70 feet. Gimmicky? Yes, effective? Yes

[@Ocaisionallysane]

are there even any races left at this point?

[@cadecook8067]

Ocaisionallysane I think bugbears, tritons and tortles are the only ones left

[@Thedungeoncast]

And whatever may be coming out in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Eladrin and Shadar-kai maybe.

[@Ocaisionallysane]

EVEN MORE ELVES

[@blakebrockhaus347]

ALL THE ELVES

[@werewolfblood6548]

do you have a discord

[@fobbles_]

Curiosity Tabaxi are the plot of Moana

[@himboghost629]

I gunna make a pride full lion man thats searching for a real challenge

[@PrimordialAnnihilator]

Snow leopard aka ghost cat

[@IncrediBiscuit]

is a lion tabaxi out of the question?

[@Ahreman_egy]

found homebrew race lionfolk / lionkin

[@ShugoAWay]

Uh there us an official one in theros

[@weare7043]

Tabaxi Tax collector

[@philiphamel8504]

In our current game, we have ourselves a tabaxi artificer.

[@cameroncox2739]

Alright guys, you keep using butt ton as a synonym for 'a lot of', and here you ask how much it is. A Butt is a Medieval measurement for wine, equaling about 129 gallons, and a tun is a large barrel used in shipping during the age of sail. A butt tun then would be a ~130 gallon barrel worth. This has been a history fact you never asked for.

[@fjLKA]

Tabaxi should never wear gloves. If you can't see their hands, they are indistinguishable from rakshasa.

[@whiskeyhound]

nah, they are the cat devils, I think theres some other cat people called something similar to it.

[@UberBri]

Sean Sakamoto Raksshasa “jazz 🤚” are tiger devils from the 9 Hell’s.

[@timothymccarthy2751]

Cat Lord Chester

[@ruecumbers]

INDEED.

"MAZ-ti-ka" - not "/mas-TI-ca/", please. "The Cat Lord" (Bastet) deserves MORE respect. Also "Tabaxi" comes from TABASCO (In México), my homeland. From the historic Tabasquenian Warlord, Tascoob.

[@tylerbaptiste4125]

Short break... aka doobie break
