Editing Rakasta (section)

==Hello, Mr. Welch!==
When [[Mr. Welch]] decided to do his Mystara [[Player's Handbook]] for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], he naturally thought to include the rakasta, seeing them as far more interesting than Wotc's milquetoast [[tabaxi]]. But even he thought that the last set of stats they had in AD&D were crazy, though he agreed with the basic idea of rakasta being more generally "[[catfolk]] as a whole". Thus, he created a 5e version of the race divided into three subraces; the solitary hunter-themed Greater Rakasta, the Wild Rakasta, and the Domestic Rakasta.
