I did a search, and three years back or so someone did this, but it turned out prety, lame. So, here's my attempt. It's lame to, but it's lame, in the"I like pie" way.
Leonin
Out on the plains a race of lion-like humanoids roam in packs. These, are the leonin.
Tall, strong and proud, the leonin are difficult to best on their own terrain, and they will most often be territorial if encountered in the such plains.
There are two defining differences in the male and female leonin, and that is their build, and their social status. Where as males usualy protect the territory, females are usually the hunters. And as such, their bodies are built much differently.
Males receive a +2 strength, and a +2 constitution. However being more focused on brute strength rather than finesse and guile, they take a -2 to dexterity, and -4 to intelligence. A male Leonin in a pack, not just a wanderer who has met a pack, gain a temporary +4 to charisma when dealing with females in the pack. This comes from their standard station as leaders of a pack creature.
Female leonin on the other hand receive a +2 to dexterity, and a +2 to constitution. Due to their hunter and finesse nature, they take a -2 to strength, and a -2 to wisdom. They are great deducers and trackers, but they aren't always as intuitive as other races. Known for their prowess in hunting female leonin gain a +4 bonus to charisma when dealign with non-pkayer character fighters, barbarians (excepting other leonin) and rangers.
Leonin are medium and as such gain no bonuses to speed. However at 3rd level the female leonin gains the run feat. And at sixth level male leonin gain leadership, with a +10 leadership score. A male leonin who does not belong to a pack only gains a +5, however if he starts his own pride, it becomes a +10 afterwards. ( A pride of leonin must consist of atleast two other males and atleast 5-6 females)
Male leonin's manes are think and tough, they receive a +1 natural armor bonus. However female leonin are quick, and combat masters. They receive dodge as a bonus feat at first level
Leonin have low light vision.
Leonin have claws and a bite that both deal 1d4. A leonin is always treated as being profficient with their natural weapons.
Language: leonin have a very basic language consisted of growls, roars, and intricate body language. However some leonin have developed a written language, consisted of a mesh of dwarven and elven.
Favored Class: Barbarian (Males) Ranger (Females)
Leonin aren't always seen around society as they are semi-nomadic, travelling over vast tracks of fields, but never usually levaing their territory. Leonin are usually almost always lawful, with some females drifiting into neutral. It is almost impossible to find a chaotic leonin.
Questions, comments and concerns are welcome. This is my first homebrew in a long time, so if you see anything that should be added or have suggetsions, feel free.
