[QUOTE="Hella_Tellah, post: 4316963, member: 52669"] Here's a fifth race, as well as racial feats for all five races. [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4]Kitsune[/size] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/Beholden_Caulfield/kitsune.jpg[/IMG] [b]Average Height:[/b] 4'8"-5'10" (human form), 3'-3'8" (fox form) [b]Average Weight:[/b] 80-120 lb.

[i]Myobu[/i] (Inari fox): Resist Radiant 5+1/2 level [i]Nogitsune[/i] (field fox): Trained in Bluff. [b]Change Form[/b] Kitsune Racial Power [i]You change form, from fox to human or from human to fox.[/i] [b]Encounter ✦ Polymorph Minor Action[/b] Personal [b]Effect:[/b] You change from fox to human or from human to fox. While in fox form, your size is Small, your base speed is 7 squares, and you gain a +5 racial bonus to Athletics checks. You cannot use manufactured weapons, but you gain a bite attack that deals 1d6 damage and has a +3 proficiency bonus. Your clothing and magical items change with you, and you alter their appearance to suit your new form--amulets and cloaks become collars, boots and gloves become bands around your paws, etc. You only have one appearance as a fox; you cannot use this racial ability to mimic other foxes. While in human form, your size is Medium, your base speed is 6 squares, and you lose your +5 racial bonus to Athletics checks. You can use manufactured weapons, and you lose your bite attack. You may take the appearance of any human, even a unique individual. Kitsune are magical foxes native to the forests and fields of Hachishima, known for their magical powers and slyness. Kitsune are known to spend months, even years, disguised as humans, particularly as beautiful women infiltrating the courts of powerful daimyo. They come in two main breeds: the myobu, white foxes with a special connection to the rice kami, Inari, and nogitsune, reddish-brown foxes with a penchant for trickery and deceit. As kitsune age and grow in power, they grow additional tails, up to nine in total. In human form, they can take the shape of any human, but usually maintain some connection to their appearance as a fox--pointed ears, hair colored like their fur--and when distracted or drunk, may have difficulty hiding their fox-like features. Play a Kitsune if you want to: ...sneak into and manipulate human society. ...lead a double life as both animal and human. ...play a Rogue, Ranger, or Warlord.
