Features:Catfolk Body: The Catfolk loses all other racial traits and gains humanoid traits (basically nothing). She's a medium sized humanoid with base speed of 40 feet and low-light vision. The Catfolk can use her Dex bonus to attack rolls with the martial weapon she choose at first level instead of Str. If she could already do so, she may add her Dex bonus to damage rolls with that weapon, even if already adding another ability score (or no ability score, like longbows).
In addition she gains a +1 bonus to Natural Armor.
Cat's True Grace: A Catfolk gains a +2 Racial bonus on Listen and Move Silently checks, that increases an extra +1 for each 3 HD of the Catfolk. In addition as a swift or move action she can grant herself a +4 bonus to Dex for 2 rounds. You must wait until the end of the duration of this ability plus 1d3 rounds to use it again. The bonus to dex increases by 1 for each 3 HD.
Cat Heritage: Catfolks show quite a bit of diferences among their species, each family resembling more of a particular feline animal. The catfolk chooses one of the options below.
Lion-Nature itself recognizes your majesty. If the catfolk would multiclass into druid, she adds +1 CL to her druid spells and may use Charisma as her main casting stat instead of Wisdom, plus counting cat-like creatures as one level lower for animal companion purposes. Cat-like creatures you summon last twice as much as well.
Tiger- You follow the paths of the warrior. Choose a martial initiator or pilot class. Catfolk levels grant full IL/PL for that class.
Common Cat-You have a short(er) attention span than other catfolk. If you multiclass into Ranger, you can change any or all of your Favored Enemies as a Fullround action, as long as the new creature type(s) is(are) one(s) that you can see right now.
Cheetah-You're pretty quick in your legs. When benefiting from Cat's True Grace, the catfolk's movement speed increases by 10 feet for each 3 HD.
The Catfolk gains a +2 racial bonus to either Dexterity or Charisma. She can change this bonus as a swift action.
Kitty Fu
Some catfolk skip the learning of more advanced weapons in return for turning their own body into one.
Gain: You gain Improved Unarmed Strike as a monk of your catfolk level, stacking with monk and other such classes.
Lose: You lose your martial proficiency and are only proficient with three simple weapons of your choice. If you would multiclass into a class that grants proficiency with all simple weapons, you instead only gain proficiency with one new simple weapon of your choice. If you would multiclass into a class that grants proficiency with all martial weapons, you instead only gain proficiency with one new martial weapon of your choice.
Didn't feel like doing any big monster, and this one was just 1 level long.
The original catfolk falls on that unpleasant region where it's definetely not a LA 0 race but neither is it really worth the +1 LA on its stats. Pretty passive abilities all around, nice stats, fast and a couple skill bonus.
Working on that, made the skill bonus scaling and added a pseudo weapon finesse because they're suposed to be ninjas stealthy rangers and stuff.
Don't like big ability scores right away so tried something new with swappable bonus to either Dex or Cha (so you can be either cute kitty or angry whirling kitty). And then a super cat's grace because they're suposed to work in bursts of speed acording to the fluff as well.
Cat's Heritage to give some sinergy options based on their background.
So if you want to play a kitty/tiger/lion/cheetah person, the catfolk's for you!
