Homebrew Ant's Kitsune Species Details
Kitsune have a size that's near same to that of an elf, being slightly shorter, and lithe than a typical human of the same stature. In their natural form they are much like anthropomorphic foxes. They usually have light colored fur, Orange, reddish brown, golden brown, though it isn't completely unheard of for them to posses black, white, silver or golden fur covering their entire body. Some may have multiple colors in their fur such as being mostly reddish brown with white gloves and socks. Their eyes range in color as well, though most have blue, green, or brown eyes. Albeit uncommon they may also have orange, purple, yellow, or even red eyes. They have mostly human-like hands though they do possess dark black claws at the ends of their fingers. A kitsune is born with a single tail, but gain more tails as they grow older. A Kitsune's age is very difficult to tell since they appear to stop aging in their early twenties and commonly live to be a few years past nine-hundred, some for a full millennium.

Kitsune Shapeshift
You can appear as a human, or fox of the same sex indefinitely using a very simple illusion magic. However, on a DC 10 + proficiency bonus + Charisma Modifier Investigation check, a person looking directly at you can tell that you are not what you appear, though they still cannot tell your true form. This magic is detectable and dispelled in an anti-magic field or by dispel magic (your character level divided by 2 rounded down is the level of this spell for the sake of dispel magic). If your illusion is dispelled you cannot use the effect again until after a long rest. A kitsune also always assumes the appearance of a specific humanoid (Player can choose, only 1). The ability functioning as alter self (change of appearance only).

Magic Tails
Starting at level four, you gain an extra tail and another tail every four levels after. With each new tail, you gain one new spell that can be cast once, a long rest being required to cast again. When you gain a new tail, you gain a spell of that level as shown on the Kitsune tail table above.
While this feat will only gain you magic for five tails through leveling, as with the Faerie tails trait your DM may award you extra tails at their discretion. Such as through Enlightening, uplifting, incredible or even distressing/traumatic events. As said earlier, upon gaining a new tail you may choose a spell of coresponding lvl, it must be either from the Illusion, enchantment or transmutation schools.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma Modifier

Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Charm Person spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Once you reach 5th level, you can cast the Phantasmal force spell once a day with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Posted Jan 23, 2024The only thing that isn't showing up on this is the spells that are granted with the Kitsune Arcana. My player in the campaign I DM for can't access the spells as part of their racial trait.
I'd also like to see the Kitsune tail able :)
