- Kitty Goods:

- Feline Transformation:
At will, as a standard action, a Ralteki can transform into a house cat. This effect is similar to the spell polymorph. In cat form, the Ralteki becomes size Tiny.
A Ralteki can transform from a cat back to her humanoid form as a full-round action. She must wait 1 hour to turn back into a cat after reverting to her humanoid form.
A Ralteki's equipment usually transforms to become part of her cat body. She loses the benefits of any weapons, shields, armor, or robes she wears or carries. Items that require a physical apparatus to function, such as a ring or a pair of boots, shift to adopt a form suitable to a cat, such as a collar or anklet and continue to provide their benefits. A Ralteki's cat form is unable to speak or use her paws to manipulate fine objects. She cannot cast spells with a verbal or somatic component, use scrolls, or otherwise activate magic items. While in cat form, a Ralteki gains the scent ability.

What’s the lore of this race? The combination of abilities seems pretty random.

Dragon and Giant are listed as if they were subtypes, but those aren’t subtypes. Dragonblood is a subtype.

D12 hit dice are incorrect for the Monstrous Humanoid type. All good saves is also incorrect for the Monstrous Humanoid type. The skill points are wrong too.

It’s highly irregular for a DC to scale with half an ability score modifier. Standard is to just add the ability score modifier.

A level adjustment of +4 is punishingly high. I think next to no one would try playing a race with such a high LA.

If you drop the breath weapon down to something comparable to a Dragonborn, change the fire immunity to fire resistance 5, reduce the ability score bonuses, and lower the natural armor, you should be able to fit this into LA +1 easily. I’d also remove the racial hit dice, and let characters be defined more by their class choice. Maybe model the feline transformation ability on the one given by the Tibbit race.

If this isn’t based on some preexisting thing, I’d go with fox instead of cat. Then the association with fire would seem more natural.



Edit: Maybe something like this.

Need new fox-themed monsters.

It is just a Tiddit with half dragon and half ogre templates. Slapped it up based on the lore of a friend.
I just put it here because he shy.

And it it Kitty not Fox.
Hence "Kitty goods" and artificer.

If they had an ACF it would be for Artificer/Psionic Artificer.

In that case, I’m pretty sure the type should be Dragon (augmented Giant, augmented humanoid, shapeshifter).

And the breath weapon save DC is based on the full Con modifier. “Half-dragon’s Con modifier” means the Con modifier of the half dragon, not that Con modifier is halved.
