Homebrew Averzian Kitsune Species Details

Hailing from more secluded areas of the feywild, Kitsune make a living for themselves as farmers, hunters, and sometimes guides for those who find themselves lost. Preferring their distance away from the summer and winter courts, these people choose places that embody spring or fall. Legend tells of tricksters and wise foxes, while much more than that, at their core the Kitsune people are a free loving and inquisitive race. Many take to living on the the material plane for a number of years before returning to their home in the feywild with tales of their experiences. Though tales of these people are still told today by those that have been entranced by them.

Wild looks like wild foxes. 

While the kitsune people come in all shapes and sizes, they generally lean towards a tall and slender build as their yokai form mirrors their humanoid self. Their eyes range from average greys and browns to pale silver and bright oranges, with their hair or fur being anything from reds and greys to blue silvers and greenish browns.

Kitsune Trickery

A creature looking directly at you can make a Intelligence (Investigation) check, to tell that you are not what you appear to be, though they still cannot perceive your true form. The DC for this check is equal to 10 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. This magic is detectable by spells such as detect magic and dispelled in an antimagic field or by a successful dispel magic. Your proficiency bonus is considered the level of the spell for the sake of dispel magic. If your illusion is dispelled you cannot use the effect again until after a long rest.

Fox Form

The kitsune is able to change into its natural fox form at will. As an action, the kitsune is able to take the form of a fox with as many tails as the kitsune decides (maximum current spell level). While in this form, the kitsune is able to communicate telepathically in any language it knows. The kitsune also maintains all ability scores, saving throws, and skill modifiers while in this form. The kitsune gains a walking speed of 40 while in fox form.
