Hey i would really like to play this character. I have homebrewed some thing to make playing this character possible,please note that this homebrew is underpowered(because i am playing a cat) if you want you can nerf it further i just want to get a couple of items/abilities to start with so Fireball can be able to cast spells. Name: Fireball Race: Cat(Dex+2,Wis+1,Str-4,Con-4) Size: Small,Speed: 40ft,Darkvision ,Feline grace: Advantage on Dexterity(Acrobatics) checks,Languages:Cat. Subrace: Wizard cat: Permanent mage hand: A wizard cat has permanent mage hand which he can use to preform somatic components of spells as well as use arcane focus,he can also decide to make a hand disappear and appear at will.(This is the only hand i will have) Class: Wizard(School of Abjuration) Backstory: Fireball lived a good life as a cat,until one day his master a powerful elven wizard named Xaveus left him in his tower never to return. Seeing that his master isn't returning Fireball started exploring the forbidden areas of the tower,where he found his masters armory. In there he started playing with a headband and in that playing he put it on his head (<a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Headband%20of%20Intellect#content" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Headband%20of%20Intellect#content</a>) when suddenly the magic in the headband caused him to become very intelligent even compared to humanoid standards. With his newly found intelligence Fireball continued exploring the tower , finally figuring out where his master hides catnip and snacks from him, in time he started looking at books in his masters library and began learning language and in time started learning the arcane arts from his masters books and old textbooks(which he used while in school). His favorite spell is mage hand which he uses in his everyday life. After reading most of the books in the library he set of into the world to find his master and experience what lies outside the tower he spent his whole life in. I intend to roleplay Fireball as a cat,a very smart cat, what he knows about the world is what he read in the books,but he is otherwise very ignorant about the world. From items he has a bag of holding he uses to carry things,his masters spellbook,headband of intellect,a crystal that allows him to communicate telepathically(he can't speak),a lot of catnip and 10 days worth of rations.
