[QUOTE="Set, post: 3087071, member: 41584"] The Forgotten Realms setting used the word Tabaxi to describe the human natives of Chult. (And since the author didn't know any better, he didn't really describe the Tabaxi well, resulting in it not being clear until he got to the scene depicted on the cover that the Tabaxi *weren't* cat-people...) In any case, the culture of the FR Tabaxi, which is loosely African-inspired (although perhaps more Incan/Mayan in flavor), could be interesting to pillage. Changing the FR Tabaxi to 'cat-people' would change nothing at all about their culture, architecture, living divine avatars or scary dinosaur-worship. The FR Tabaxi live in a huge city, supposedly crafted by their god, in the middle of a dinosaur-infested jungle. They have a half-dozen 'priests,' who are divinely empowered with different aspects of their god. Instead of being standard Clerics, each 'priest' has one basic sphere of influence (like Death, or Animals) and a lot of power narrowly focused in that one area. They tended to be more like Paladins, being warriors with some holy powers. They could be statted up as Paladins, but dropping the various Paladin peripheral powers to add a single Domain and Domain Spontaneity in that Domain, representing their unique dedicated focus.
