Homebrew Foxtail Species Details

The child of a Kitsune and a mortal, these beings are rarely seen. When they are, they're often performing magical tricks, or guiding adventurers through woodlands and forests. Quite noticeable are the fox ears and tail they often have quite prominently displayed. They understand they are rare, and take great pride in it.

Foxtail Traits

Your foxtail has many abilities, granted by the kitsune blood that flows in their veins.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity and Charisma scores both increase by 1, and one other score of your choice increases by 1.

Darkvision

You gain Darkvision at a range of 60 feet.  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.

Age

Foxtails mature at the same rate as humans, but can live to be 300 years old.

Size

Foxtails are the same size and build as humans, though on average slightly shorter. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Languages

You can speak Common, Sylvan, and one other language of your choice.

Kitsune Legacy

You know the Dancing Lights and Prestidigitation cantrips. At level 3, you can cast Scorching Ray once, regaining the ability to do so on a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Kitsune Shapeshifting

Beginning at level 3, you can shapeshift into a fox as an action. The appearance of this fox is up to you, but generally follows the same coloring as your ears and tail (e.g. if you have the ears and tail of a red fox, you would shapeshift into a red fox). The shapeshift lasts one hour, and ends early if you fall unconscious or end it early as an action.
