Bast evolved from the ‘big cat’ family, mainly from the Africa area (so Leopard, Lion, Cheetah), but the other big cats are represented as well. They have a culture that is heavily ancient Egyptian in feel, and decorate themselves in jewellery and similar (though not head-dresses). As with the big cats of today, it is the female of the race that hunt, but evolution as made the male of the race more domesticated.

Bast are exceptionally agile, and use their nimbleness to avoid blows from opponents. They are equally skilled in casting and fighting in close combat.

In game terms, Bast have increased speed but decreased health and toughness.
