Homebrew Fox Race Species Details
This homebrew exists to serve a purely mechanic purpose, and does not come with any lore. The lore of this race is entirely up to the DM who runs it.
Due to D&D Beyond's systems, attritbute bonuses will have to be applied manually as an "Other Modifier" in step 3 of character creation. Like all other races now, the Fox Race gets a +1/+1/+1 or +2/+1.
A race of fox-like humanoids with; a slow climbing speed, darkvision, a bite attack, proficiency in Perception and Stealth, heightened senses for hearing and smelling, and the ability to jump double the height you would expect sometimes using this to pounce onto a target.

Speed
Your walking speed is 30 feet, and you have a climbing speed equal to half your walking speed.

Fox's Bite
When you take the Attack action, you can replace one attack with a powerful bite. This bite is treated as an unarmed strike and, on a hit, it deals 1d8 + your Strength modifier piercing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Fox's Grace
You have proficiency in the Perception and Stealth skills.
Keen Hearing and Smell
You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Vulpan Leap
When you make a high jump on your turn, the height you can leap is doubled and making a standing high jump does not half this distance until the end of your turn. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.
