As a side comment: yes, Jdvn1, for some reason, I do read that. I think I just assume that eventually, you'll change it, but you never do... |
Yes, the addition of tails is indicative of power, but most importantly of Prestige.
Quote:
Humans use word-of-mouth and personal bearing to properly convey Prestige, but kitsune have a physical and very visible way to demonstrate just how important they are: their tails. Kitsune grow additional tails according to their rank and Prestige, with the maximum known number of tails being nine (although it’s rumored that certain enlightened kitsune can surpass this number). A kitsune grows her second tail when she turns a century old. At this point, she becomes sentient and gains the first of the kitsune racial powers. From that point on, she gains the rest of her tails through effort. The kitsune’s tails aren’t merely cosmetic or useful for social occasions. The number of a kitsune’s tails are also a measure of her magical power. All of the powers listed as fox magic depend on the number of tails the kitsune has, and most powers are unavailable for foxes with few tails.
A kitsune gains a new tail when she reaches a particular Prestige score (or through advancing in one of the two kitsune racial classes); she doesn’t lose the tails she has gained in this manner even if her Prestige drops below the level at which she gained a tail (but she also can’t gain a new tail by rising again to a Prestige score that has already awarded her a tail).

This is detailed most in the Character Options chapter, actually. We take you deeper into the potential of the kitsune in the next chapter, where the two kitsune classes Myobu and Nogitsune are discussed.
Also, for anyone interested in a print version of this - P.O.D. from rpgnow and a full color print version from our website will be available mid to late September. Hurricanes depending.
