Homebrew Fox-kin (Kitsune) Species Details

The Kitsune come in various colors and fur patterns, but the most common two seen are the Red Kitsune and the Arctic Kitsune. Kitsune reach an age of maturity at 18 years old, similarly to humans, however they can live upwards of 150 years and frequently live to 200.
Kitsune hail from an ancient deity who's name has been long forgotten, but due to this heritage they find themselves drawn to magical things. Often members of this species end up being closely attuned to nature and the mystical arts. 
Kitsune are often timid creatures, and it is not uncommon for a member of this species to take several days working up the courage to simply just speak with someone they are unfamiliar with. 
As Kitsune age and grow they sprout additional tails, often manifesting in moments of extreme stress or during sleep. Kitsune have a number of tails equal to their proficiency bonus.
Kitsune gain a +2 bonus to DEX and a +1 bonus to CHA.
Due to their ancestor's hunting patterns, Kitsune have darkvision up to 60 ft, and have a heightened sense of hearing in their natural habitat (while within their home habitat, a Kitsune may roll advantage on a Perception (WIS) or Survival (INT) checks that rely on hearing a number of times equal to their proficiency bonus).
Kitsune Fortune Magic:
At level one Kitsune gain access to the Guidance Cantrip and the Gift of Alacrity Spell. Guidance can be cast at will but the Gift of Alacrity Spell can only be cast once per day.

Luck of the Fox Spirit:

Kitsune can, a number of times equal to their proficiency bonus, bestow an ally with a +1d4 bonus to an ability check. This ability is a reaction, and can only be used on allies within sight.

At level seven this reaction can be used to add this bonus to an ability check or a saving throw
