Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

As a bonus action, you can switch between your fox form and your humanoid form. You can switch between forms a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. You decide the looks of this humanoid form, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height and weight and can change your size between Medium and Small. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You can’t duplicate the appearance of a creature you’ve never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren’t changed by this trait. Your new form retains one or more Kitsune traits, such as a tail, ears, or fur betraying your true nature.

While in your Fox form, you can't speak but you retain your personality, memories, statistics, hit points, known languages (which you can understand in this form but not speak), features, feats, skills, saving throw proficiencies  and use your proficiency bonus for them etc. You cant cast spells, but shapeshifting dosent break concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you've already cast. Your ability to handle objects is determined by your fox form's limbs. In addition, you choose whether your equipment falls in your space, merges into your fox form or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but DM decides whether it's practical for your fox form to wear a piece of equipment base on the form's size and shape. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match your fox form. Equipment merged into your fox form has no effect while you're in that form.

Kitsune begin their humanoid lives with a single, furry, fox tail approximately 3 feet long. At 4th level, and every three levels afterwards, you grow an additional tail as you increase in age and worldly experience, The last two tails a gained through Uplifting and incredible events, at the discretion of the DM, up to a maximum total of 9. Each tail you possess increases your lifespan by 100 years, to a maximum 1000 year lifespan.

When a fox becomes a Kitsune, they receive a special arcane focus called a Faerie Jewel. This spherical gem glows faintly with fox-fire and is the source of the Kitsune's magical powers. It is a gem that weighs 1lb. The Kitsune may use one of their tails to carry the jewel as if it where a limb, unless they are shapeshifted, in which case it can merge into their humanoid form. If the Kitsune is ever separated from their Faerie Jewel, they can still cast spells, but gain one point of exhaustion every 12 hours until they die.

The Spiritual nature of a Kitsune dictates the way their magic and skills take form and shape.
