This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Incomplete. This really needs to be fleshed out because as of right now it lacks any tangible Fluff. While it can be regarded by some as useless information it has a significant impact on how your content is used by players. Consult the 5e Race Design Guide for help.

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Stronger than any first party race and uses incomplete and incorrect wording throughout. The traits need to be mechanically worded correctly as they are often vague or written like casual conversation. +4/5 ASI, saving throw proficiency, granting a feat, weapon proficiency based on damage type, Gnome Tinkering on steroids. Overall poorly executed and needs a rework both from a mechanic and lore perspective to better integrate with the first party content. Consult the 5e Race Design Guide for help and see the Featured Articles pages for some exemplary content.

Lombax[edit]
Banished from their original plane, Lombaxes are a race of humanoids with slight cat-like features. They tend towards intelligence and curiosity.
Physical Description[edit]
Lombaxes are Medium humanoids, 3'6" at the shortest and 5' at the tallest for adults. They feature large eyes, feline noses, large ears without visible openings, and a tail with a lion-like tuft at the end. They are fully coverved in fur sans their noses, and can come in anywhere between pale cream to medium brown, with lighter stomachs, and darker stripes appearing on the ears, tails, and backs of all but the darkest individuals. They have large, triangular feet with three toes per foot, and five fingers on each hand.
History[edit]
Lombaxes were originally from a plane known as Solana, but were banished to the material plane after a great war with an opposing race. They have endured hardship beyond most races. Their original plane was a place of incredible technology, but such tech is very difficult to recreate in the mortal planes.
Society[edit]
Lombaxes live in familial groups led by a Patriarch, who takes many wives and bears children. Females are expected to contribute to society and mate with the males of other families, while males besides the patriarch are expected to rear children born of the Patriarch, who are actually their own younger brothers. Lombaxes have a history of building fantastic technology, favoring metal, rubber, oil, electricity, and magic as components. Males are usually quieter and subdued, females are generally more involved in society and craftsmanship. Odd males will occasionally show more interest in their surroundings, compelling them to interact with other races, possibly leaving their home behind for good. Monogamy is uncommon, few males outside the patriarch are allowed a mate, and females believe bearing children for their patriarch is secondary to their job or role in society. Males are about 1/7 as common as females. A male becomes a patriarch if he owns land and has mated with at least 3 females. Females make up the governing bodies.
Lombax Names[edit]
Lombaxes Patriarchs pass their name unto the females with whom they mate. Males have a single name. Females have their given name and the name of the patriarch with whom they have mated. Female names always end in an "A", male names always end in a consonant.
Male: Rachet, Teth, Clun, Dorsek, Metjez, Harzet, Kaden, Alister
Female: Sersa, Zorema, Gekka, Hetza
