Homebrew Dark Kitsune Species Details

A kitsune is a shapeshifter, and usually when it reaches the age of 100 years, it learn the ability to take on a human form. Thus, they have to be a fox for a hundred years before it can shapeshift from a fox to a human and back again. It is also said that a kitsune can duplicate other human beings, in other words shapeshift into the look-a-likes of different people.

Dark Kitsune Traits

Dark Kitsune are Mischievous and playful creatures

Shapeshift

As an action, you can assume the appearance of a specific single human form of the same sex.  You always take this form when you use this ability. You cannot use your bite attack in human form.  In order for anyone to see your true nature, they have to succeed on an int modifier.  

Trickster

uses tricks and lies to deceive people for fun or just because they want to

A fox's Charm

Starting at the 5th level, you learn Charm Person. Charisma is your spellcasting modifier for this spell. You can only cast this spell on a creature of the opposite gender.

If you successfully charm your target, the target stays charmed until you dispell the charm, the target is hurt by you or an ally, or is given a command that would cause it to do something that would cause it to harm itself. You can only charm one person at a time. 

Fox Magic

You learn the Cantrips: Minor Illusion, and Message.

Fox Tails

You have a number of tails equal to the highest level spell you can cast (minimum of 1).

Hoshi no Tama

A white orb ornament every kitsune has, it can be used as an arcane focus. The orb absorbs magical energy from the kitsune that owns it as part of their soul lives within. Once per long rest, the kitsune can draw on the orb to cast a spell that would otherwise require a spell slot without expending a spell slot. Any spell cast this way also does not require a vocal or somatic component.

If the kitsune has 5 or more tails, the orb can be used to attack enemies.

Should the orb be stolen or forcibly taken away, the kitsune will gain a stack of exhaustion every 8 hours until they are dead.
