I enjoyed writing about orcs for Volo's Guide. Here are some early notes from my sketchbook. #WOTCstaff #dnd pic.twitter.com/hsndaIEjfU

Volo’s Guide to Monsters
Thinking about a more lion-like catfolk/rakasta. Thoughts on using the Tabaxi?
thinking about a more lion-like catfolk/ rakasta for a character instead of leopard/ jaguar. Thoughts on using the tabaxi as is or making changes? Is the intent to cover a wide “cat” spread?
Tabaxi are really aimed at agility/springy sort of cats, so a rakasta would be a different design IMO. Str-based, for a start— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) November 9, 2017
When a Celestial Warlock uses healing abilities or spells, are those still arcane?
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls When a Celestial Warlock uses healing abilities or spells, are those still arcane? Or because their patron is a divine/celestial being, would they be treated or feel more like divine spellcasting? #DnD

Warlock spells are arcane spells, regardless of your patron. #DnD https://t.co/d6h59vMqGP

So, it’s about the connection, not the patron/diety? An entity could have both warlocks (arcane connection) and clerics (divine connection) in service to them? Yes, that's possible.

Would the celestial warlock’s radiant soul ability apply to attacks made…
@JeremyECrawford Would the celestial warlock's radiant soul ability apply to attacks made using the radiant soul ability from protector aasimar in volo's?

I how would one go about reskinning a Tabaxi into a Leonin?
how would one go about reskinning a tabaxi into a Leonin? I was thinking STR instead of dex and halforc resil instead of runningI think that would work well

How likely is it for one to spot a Tabaxi in Emon?
I’m putting together a Tal’dorei game for my niece, who REALLY wants to be a literal cat-rogue. I know anything goes, but how likely is it for one to spot a Tabaxi in Emon? 😀 Rare but possible! It would turn some heads!

Where did you guys get the idea for the name “Tabaxi”?
Where did you guys get the idea for the name “Tabaxi”? I think it’s a great name! I’m trying to create a wolf humanoid race and want some inspiration for a cool name. Thank you for your amazing work! Alas, it’s a name we inherited from Fiend Folio, a D&D book published back in 1981. Not familiar with where the name came from.
