If I were asked to redisign felids...
- Cats die. They get no extra lives, which is a mere gimmick that doesn't even make fantasy sense. Cats suffer and die just like everything else. They have one life to live, as all do.
- Cats are hyperaware. They are granted an unprecedented power of complete awareness of their surroundings. Every level is magically mapped upon entry, and every monster in range is fully known, like an enhanced antennae that shows not just the presence of a monster, but what monster it is. They simply see everything. Nothing is hidden.
- Cats are magical. Increase their spellcasting and specialty school aptitudes accordingly. They should be magically affine second only to deep elves.
- Cats don't leap. They pounce, grab their prey in their front claws and teeth (a kind of constriction), and eviscerate their victims with forceful kicks of their sharp hind claws. Let this vicious attack be their special ability.
Edit: Removed:
- Cats are pious. So they gain piety at 1.5 times the normal rate of other species.
