Adding in Fairy-type to deal with the ubiquity of Fighting, Dragon, and Dark types doesn't help if your problem is too many Fighting/Fire starters. I mean, that fairy doesn't even have type advantage due to the fire typing!Giving a ton of races boosts to strength and constitution does nothing to address the design issues with dexterity. Too many str/con races and dex doing too much are unrelated issues.
I had forgotten about Intimidation with Strength (variant abilities for skills). This of course also doesn't solve the Dexterity rools problem, actually it can exacerbate it because the +Dex race Rogue is going to be asking to make every skill check a variant one using Dex instead of Cha, Int, etc.Lions themselves aren’t that charismatic, though. More than tigers, sure, being more social, but they’re still territorial jerks.
And there are plenty of Cha races already.
But most importantly, Cha isn’t needed to be proud, Noble, etc. They can intimidate with strength at most tables, and their story in the world they come from is more important than a generalized idea of what lions represent.
Ultimately, if you (untargeted you used here) want Dex or Cha on your Leonin, why aren't you playing a Tabaxi?
