Your Wisdom score increases by 2.

Kitsune are very long-lived. A Kitsune does not mature until it reaches 100 years of age at which point it gains its first tail. It can then live to 1,000 years, when it receives its ninth tail and changes a golden color, ascending to celestial status.

Kitsunes are often good. However, Shiroi kitsune tend towards neutral good, whereas Kuro kitsune are usually chaotic and may even be of neutral or evil moral alignment.

Kitsune are usually shorter than most humanoids, standing between 4 and 5 feet tall. They average around 60 to 90 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

You can use your action to magically assume the shape of a spirit fox, or your true form, which is a fox- humanoid hybrid. You can also revert to your normal fox- humanoid hybrid form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. And you automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed into your fox form, the following rules apply:

Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the fox (see below), but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the fox. If the fox has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher
than yours, use the fox’s bonus instead of yours.

When you transform, you assume the fox’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form.As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.

You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning that you’ve already cast.

You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is
physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any your special senses, unless your fox form also has that sense.

Your equipment merges into your new form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the fox form.

Once you’ve changed into a fox and changed back, you can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan, the language of the fey. The language uses the Espruar alphabet and has a melodic, chiming sound to it, akin to choir singing. If your kitsune spent time in Shinou, it also knows the language of that land, known as Shiwen. In addition to knowing Shiwen, they would also understand Shewai without difficulty, as Shewai is a Common variant that sounds a bit like a mix of both Shiwen and Common.
