Kitsune Race

[Taryn_Aisha]

For your consideration, first draft of my idea for a Kitsune race:

Kitsune

Kitsune are a race of shapeshifters; however they are bound to four forms – human, many-tailed fox/human, many-tailed fox and full fox. The more tails a kitsune has, the higher in rank and age they are, but don't be fooled by a kitsune with only two or three tails - she may be a nine-tail in disguise!
They first started appearing in Panasia as bodyguards to some gem traders, then it became obvious that more of them were around than originally believed. No one knows exactly when they really came, since they can portray themselves as totally human.

Kitsune are known to be tricksters. They delight in sarcasm and dark humor, finding the subtleties of it hilarious, but are more famous for their practical jokes and light humor. Many famous court jesters such as Marn the Magician are suspected to have been kitsune in disguise.

Garb: Red fox tails and ears. Wears Japanese-influenced clothing. This includes traditional Japanese wear (Kimono, hakama, etc.) and modern shirts and pants with a Japanese feel to them. (No t-shirts, etc).

Kind: Standard Humanoid
Armor: No natural armor, other as per class.
Weapons: When in fox form – may Bite (as per blue weapon)
Immunities: None

A kitsune gains tails as it progresses in levels, but may opt to show less tails than it is entitled to.

Abilities:
Shapeshift 1/game.
Fox forms are the size of a small dog – can not carry anything larger than itself or takes hands (common sense, people!)
Benevolent
Luck Point

Mastery: Gains Sanctuary

(Would like to see Kitsune gain bonus EAP as Rogues or Warriors)
