Empathy (Su) A kittykhore can communicate by project its feelings and emotions to nearby sapient beings.


Kittykhores are tiny felines that somewhat resemble manticores. They are usually friendly to creatures they didn't classified as prey, often trying to get sapient beings to feed and protect them, by their disarming cuteness or their addictive venom.

A spellcaster willing to take care of, feed, and entertain one, can select a kittykhore for an Improved Familiar at 7th level, though this usually involves getting addicted to their poison, unless one is immune to poison or really good at avoiding their stings. Surprising number of liches get themselves kittykhores as familiars.
