Kittypet Cat (5e Class)
Kittypet Cat[edit]
"I know all about being a kittypet, and it's not as easy as you think. You only eat when the Twolegs (humanoid) give you food. You only go in and out when the Twolegs say you can. Is that what you really want?"
— Macgyver to Parsleyseed after he decides to become a kittypet in Hawkwing's Journey, page 352
What is a Kittypet?[edit]
In this world, animals, like cats, are as smart as humans. Kittypets are cats that depend or used to depend on a twoleg (humanoid) for their food. Out of all the cats, you are most familiar and friendly to twolegs. You are the only one how can figure out and use twoleg's technology. Kittypet's life tend to be easy and lazy. This has robbed kittypets of their strength and dexterity. When they are released into the wild with almost no knowledge of combat and hunting, Kittypets use their best ability: the mind. They create their own armor and weapons after twolegs to overcome their limitations.

Bardic Inspiration[edit]
At 1st level, you can inspire others through logic and understanding. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d4.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d6 at 5th level, d8 at 8th level, a d10 at 11th level, and a d12 at 15th level.

When you spend at least 4 hours searching for twoleg items in a location with twolegs, you are guaranteed to at least find one of the salvageable items for your level or a salvageable item that your are searching for. Searching can take less than 4 hours. It does not guarantee that the item can be obtained without any difficult but it cannot be deadly difficulty. Example: guarded by a cat or stuck on top of the house.
If you are at your cap, you can "trade" one of your salvaged item for the salvaged item that you just found. Any twoleg or magical items that you have that is not gained from this feature does not count to your item cap and cannot be "traded" for salvaged item.

A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn, as the irritation makes it hard to attack anyone someone else.
Defensive Field As a bonus action, you can gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus in this class, replacing any temporary hit points you already have. You lose these temporary hit points if you unequip the weapon. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Once the balls hits or miss its target, it returns to your hand or stick to the side of you.
