Lionels

Lionels stand between 6 to 6 1/2 feet tall, and weigh around 200-225 pounds. They appear like bipedal lions, with tawny fur, green or yellow cat eyes, and slightly rounded pointed ears. Females tend to be smaller and lack the dark brown mane of the males, though both are just as capable in battle. Lionels are the most noble of the the greater catfolk and therefore tend to be the more lawful of the subraces. They prefer the more honorable and cause driven classes, like the bard, cavalier, inquisitor, paladin, and warpriest.
