In the mystical realms of Catnymph lives an elusive race of fey known to mortals as faelines. Sprightly and playful fairies, the faelines often masquerade as the common house cats of humans and other beings. Notably different from their cousins, the lynxies, faelines embrace the playful aspect of cat-like personas, instead of the mischevious and often malevolent intentions of the lynxies. On common terms with the ocelelves and tigerens, the Chaotic interests of the faelines make their merry catvorts among the wildest in the fairy realm.
Personality: Faelines edge towards playful and energetic moods followed by long and luxurious naps. As most fey, faelines experience exaggerated emotions and seem to maintain a continuously upbeat and cheerful attitude, even in the midst of danger.
Physical Description: Appearing as up-right standing cats, faelines are lithe and agile creatures, given even greater prowess in such acrobatic feats through the help of their wings. Despite their habit of being easily mislead through illusions and other effects, faelines are capable of utilizing their athletics in their favor, and tend to take less damage from blows than most.
Faelines normally stand around 2-2½ feet in height and often weigh about 20 pounds. Sporting butterfly-like wings and many sensitive whiskers throughout their bodies, faelines have extremely soft fur in warm colors such as pink, orange, or gold. While most prefer to live unclothed, faelines feel no qualms about wearing armor or equipment and regularly make sure that such items are ornate and especially shiny. Jewelry is very common among faelines, especially bright gems, and are often held in necklaces or armlets of precious metals.
Alignment: Despite their good-natured attitudes faelines are free and wild first and foremost. Faelines are always Chaotic, with an equal division between Good and Neutrality.
Faeline Lands: The youngest of the faelines spend their years dancing and playing eternally in the realms of the fey in their faerie realm. The faelines of the mortal world are often adventurers or tricksters who enjoy tricking or helping mortals in their everyday lives. While they don't hold any lands of their own, Faelines can be found (disguised or else) throughout human, elf, and gnome lands most commonly.
Religion: Faelines embrace Chaos and often pay homage to Couggles (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116099), but those who are as Good as they are wild worship Leoparddles the Cat Brother (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116099).
Language: Faelines speak Slyvan, the language of the fey, but crafty faelines have been known to pick up Common or Elven most often.
Faeline Racial Traits
-4 Strength, +2 Dexterity
Fey Type: Faelines are not subject to spells or effects that affect humanoids only, such as charm person or dominate person.
Small Size: As a Small creature, a faeline gains a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but she uses smaller weapons than humans use, and his lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.
Base Land Speed: 20 feet, but increases to 30 feet when the faeline moves on all fours. Faelines also have a fly speed of 20 feet (good)
Low-light vision: Faelines can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
Eaisly Distracted: Faelines are quick to lose their focus when it comes to bright dazzling lights or colors. If a faeline looks directly at a spell that produces bright light or a stream of colors, she must make a Will save equal to 10 + the level of the spell or try to attack the effect of the spell (if the spell is part of the Illusion school), or become dazed. A faeline that successfully saves cannot be affected by the same spell for 24 hours.
Athletic: +4 racial bonus on Climb and Jump checks.
Nimble: +2 racial bonus on Balance checks.
Fey Spirit: A faeline has Damage Reduction 1/cold iron which increases by 1 every 5 levels (DR 2 at 5th level, DR 3 at 10th level, DR 4 at 15th level, DR 5 at 20th level).
Change Shape (Su): A faeline can assume the shape of a common house cat as a standard action. In cat form, a faeline cannot wield weapons or wear armor.
Automatic Languages: Slyvan. Bonus Languages: Auran, Common, Elven, and Gnome.
Favored Class: Rogue. A multiclass faeline's rogue class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
