The Raksashas are a race feared and respected by all who know them. Short striped fur covers a humanoid body, thickening in the ruff of a neck leading to a tiger's head. A movement of the hand reveals retractable claws in their fingertips, and a banded tail lashes behind them as they walk. Truly as mighty as their bestial appearance makes them appear, raksasha are consummate scholars and sorcerers as well as fearsome fighters. A raksasha's home is usually well appointed with civilized luxury, perhaps decorated with the heads of enemies brought down over the years.
