About 12 years ago, running some 3.5E D&D
1st level party decides to 'help' village by investigating the 'witch' on the edge of town
'Witch' is a 2nd level druid/crazy cat lady with a pack of about 20 house cats...
PC's start some shit, someone didn't like cats.

Regular housecat is kind of rubbish, they tend to die a lot so you do need 20 or so and they only do about 1 damage or so.
Ol dire cat though, he'll fucking tear your shit apart
>>
>>46852198
I destroy them utterly. I skin them and sell the pelt.Dry and salt the meat into ration. Animate the skeletons into undead servants. Capture and devour their soul to gain power. Claim Xp and loot.
I won't let the DM railroad me. The moment you show any value of care for something, is the moment they try to hook you with plots ! I must remain free to kill so I must kill !

Whoever wrote up the stats for cats was a different person who wrote up the stats for Lions, and they didn't compare notes before the book was published. Happens all the time.

Cats and lions are part of the felidae. Since they both are stealthy creatures, it stands to reason that this is a property of their family. A lion is much, much heavier than a domestic cat, meaning there's a couple hundred kilograms worth of felidae more in it. Logically, it inherits more of the stealthy property.

>>46852474

Lions, having more HD than Cats are obviously higher level and thus better at Stealth.

A cat doesn't need more stealth because it's just a fucking cat, therefore easy to hide.

A lion needs to be more stealthy because it's a really fucking big cat, therefore harder to hide.

SCENARIO A
Orc walks into a room.
>"Fuck, I could have sworn that hobo ran in here."
Stealth check failed.
>"Oh, there's a cat in here. Weird."
The cat, who was actually the druid escapes out the door before the orc can catch it.

SCENARIO B
Orc walks into a room.
>"Fuck, I could have sworn that hobo ran in here."
Stealth check failed.
>"HOLY SHIT A FUCKING LION WHAT THE FUCK."
The lion, who was actually the druid is a fucking lion.

A group of cats is called a "clowder", actually. This would apply to kittens, too.

To answer the question,

>>46852267
Dire, so notably bigger than average, generally be a size category or two. But as these are dire kittens they're probably the size of (large) house cats and will eventually grow to be the size of a panther or maybe a small tiger.

There's your fucking roleplaying. Actions have god-damn consequences. I'm perfectly happy to run a sandbox for you, but if you're going to act like that, expect to get murdered to death. Or did you expect everyone to just run onto your sword?

My party got attacked by a room full of cats the session before last. We managed to escape without having to kill any of the cats (they only attacked us when one of us took the cat idol in the middle of the room) and my bard even managed to make a new friend (I was holding one of the cats when everything went violent and thanks to a series of grapple checks I was able to get it out of the room.)

Nah he's cool. He already tried to attack me once but I was able to calm him down because I was the only member of the party who hadn't displayed any outright hostility toward him. Realising that it probably wasn't too safe for him to be on his own in an ancient mages college filled with werejackals he decided to follow me around (the fact that I fed him probably helped.) The only member of the party he's outright hostile towards is our monk, who was the one that stole the cat idol.

Don't knock the ferret, they've got insanely sharp teeth. Mate of mine had 3 of them which we'd take out for rabbiting and they're liable to either snuggle or bite the fuck out of you at any given moment.
You sure know if they bite!

Funny, somewhat related story.
Same friend had his house broken into when we where out on the town, came home to find this junkie at the bottom of his staircase bleeding like a motherfucker.
Turns out his flatmates dogs got him
Tore out the Achilles tendon from his ankle and then he'd taken a tumble down a flight of stairs.

I'd argue that if there were some objects in the area that the animal could hide under/behind it should gain advantage.

So a cat would roll two dice if there was a stool to run under where as a lion that can't physically fit under would not and perhaps roll disadvantage if it tried.

One of my fucking players made his character into a goddamn Tibit. If you don't know what a Tibit is, it's essentially a gnome that can turn into a common house cat at will. By doing this his character gains certain buffs and debuffs. For example, in his cat form he has a higher AC and a bonus to his hide and move silently skill, but he has a lower speed stat and a lower strength modifier. But somehow, this fucker only kills things in his goddamn piece-of-shit cat form. He keeps getting higher rolls in his cat form than in his regular form and kills shit a normal house cat shouldn't be able to kill. Ill give an example on some of the shit he pulls off

You know wasps aren't actually that awful.
When on vacation, we ate outside and i used to feed them with tiny bits of ham, bread and fruit. They're usually really nice.
The only time i was ever stung by anything was a few years before that when a wasp or a bee tried to take a bite from my sandwich at the same place and at the same time i was.
