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.

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

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.

Is the Boggle tiny or small?
Is the Boggle tiny (DNDBeyond) or small (Volo’s)? Also what would you say if a player wanted a Boggle warlock familiar?small – i'd allow it, but as a DM i'd have to focus on making it a real pain the ass
