Avalon Approved Kitsune Traits

Your Kitsune character has the following racial traits.

Many Forms

As a Kitsune you have the ability to shift between multiple forms, as an action you can change between the following:

  • Human Form- While in your human form you blend in with others. You lose your tails, ears and fur to walk around unnoticed. Also, your clothing and equipment doesn't change, and if a creature suspects that you aren't human, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) checks to avoid detection. 

  • Kitsune Form- While you are in this fox-like form you gain advantage on Dexterity (Stealth)checks, but you gain disadvantage on any Strength checks or saves. Your ears, tails, fur and claws come back. Your claws become natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. 

  • Fox form- You may only use this form three times per long rest, shifting into a fox through the same effects as the Polymorph spell. The statistics for your fox form are the same as a [monster]Mastiff[/mosnter]
