Khajiiiit
A khajiit has a nice set of claws already. Now they find it 20% easier to move undetected too. Also their deft hands make them 10% better at lockpicking and pickpocketing.

How about their cozy fur makes them a bit more resistant against frost? Like 10-15%?
Yokai  [developer] 20 Mar, 2014 @ 3:07pm 
i'm thinking they'd be weaker to it given they come from a desert. They would need to loose as much heat as possible therefore theyd freeze in skyrim.

automatic night eye when its dark. Afterall, they are "cats"

and i like Siddius frost resistant idea, however maybe a small disavantage with fire because the fur also
Yokai  [developer] 20 Mar, 2014 @ 3:15pm 
They have a night eye power though and it'd then render that useless. If anything they'd be weak to frost and resistant to fire. They may look insulated but they live in deserts. They're going to have so many sweat glands that they'd flood a small town on a hot day.

Deserts get cold at night :) Desert creatures generally have to have coping strategies for heat and cold.

What about an improved movement speed? I think a cat should move faster than a human. Falling damage resistance could be a good idea too.
Yokai  [developer] 21 Mar, 2014 @ 9:27am 
Yeah I was going to give them movement speed bonus but I can't work out how yet. Theres a list of about 2000 effects that it could be so it may take a while. As for fall damage i have no idea how to reduce that. My just give them featherfall. After all, a cat always lands on it's feet.

Actually khajiit dont only live in deserts. they also live in jungles.
Yokai  [developer] 22 Mar, 2014 @ 11:07am 
Still pretty hot places. Those are just humid too so it's harder to cool down.

cllimbing ability? as in scaling castle keeps or walls?
Sudo Kitty 22 Mar, 2014 @ 10:44pm 
i have the best idea ever

make it so when a kahjiit gets seton fire their fur burns off like a spinx cat i would laugh 4 days if u do so
Yokai  [developer] 22 Mar, 2014 @ 11:30pm 
@shade_mondas interesting idea but it'd probably cause all sorts of problems. Especially if you're climbing over the wall of whiterun or something.

@moozman YES! If i could then I would, that would be amazing. Maybe they can also get their fur trimmed :D I also realised - if a khajiit wears fur armour they may as well just be wearing a literal continuation of their skin.

What about a jump boost?

I do that all the time as Khajiit :D

I'd definitely stick to lower fall damage. You should be able to find the effect for that if you follow the perk Cushioned (Heavy Armour). You'd just need to remove the precondition of wearing all heavy armour...

As for the rest, yeah, maybe a bonus to movement speed... And I'd definitely not say that Khajiit could be weak against frost... I mean a) look at them b) it is officially stated that the Khajiit of Skyrim are whiter and have longer furs. They are cats, they adapt to the situation. Ever let a cat live on your balcony in winter? It will get longer fur no matter what type of cat it is (okay, probably not siamese but you get the point). I'd suggest a fire weakness and frost resist of 5% or max 10%. anything more would seem unlikely.
