I'm currently working on a homebrew race of lionfolk. I got the idea while playing bloody roar on ps2. I ask my DM and she said she would think about it. So I'm working on creating the race in 5e. If anyone had any useful ideas or opinions I would be grateful.
This is all i have pulled from sources on the web....
