It isn't done but it does give an idea of how Mystara 4.0 may look. Please play test and tell me how it works.

Warrior Code: When you're bloodied, you gain +1 racial bonus to damage roles. Fangs of the Rakasta: You can use Fangs of the Rakasta as an encounter power Fangs of the Rakasta Rakasta Racial Power In the heat of battle your primal instincts allow you to bite your enemy with your predatorily fangs. Encounter Minor Action Melee Target: One Creature Attack: Strength vs. AC Hit: 1d6 + Strength modifier damage. You gain combat advantage against that enemy until the end of your next turn. Increase to 2d6 + Strength modifier damage at 11th level and 3d6 + Strength damage at 21st level. Heroic Tier Feats Battle Cat Prerequisite: Rakasta Benefit: You gain a loyal animal companion of a young Saber Tooth Tiger. Animal still requires handle animal check to use in combat. (Still working these issues with the MM. will give stats latter.)

The pet cat feat seems a bit too powerful to me, and the racial power seems too focused on melee fighting - most PHB races have racial powers that would be useful for just about any class. You might want to take this over to the homebrew forum and get some feedback there.
