View source for Kitsune (3.5e Race)

===Racial Traits=== 

* {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Strength|&minus;2 Strength}}, {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Dexterity|+2 Dexterity}}, {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Constitution|&minus;2 Constitution}}, {{Property Link|Racial Ability Adjustments|SRD:Charisma|+2 Charisma}}:  Neither strong nor tough, kitsunes need not be, for they can get out of situations with their nimble moves and social charms.
* [[Type::Fey]] ([[Subtype::Shapechanger]]): While they may appear as animals, kitsune are spirits of the forest and are considered fey.
* {{3.5e Racial Size|Small|Kitsune}} 
* Kitsune [[SRD:Base Land Speed|base land speed]] is 40 feet.  However, if they use their Change Shape ability, they adopt the movement speed of the duplicated race.
* {{3.5e Low-Light Vision}}
* Kitsunes have a primary natural bite attack which deals 1d4 + [[Strength]] and a half in damage.
* Animal Body {{Ex}}:  The base form of the kitsune is not human-shaped, but fox-shaped.  As such, they have no hands to manipulate items (though they have hand and arm slots as normal), are quadrapedal, and require barding instead of normal armor.  When they use their change shape ability, any magical gear which they are wearing reshapes to fit their new form and they can use and wield items appropriate for their form.  As a quadraped, they have stability, granting them a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being [[SRD:Bull Rush|bull rushed]] or [[SRD:Trip|tripped]] when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
* Change Shape {{Su}}:  Kitsunes have the ability to turn into any small or medium humanoid as if using the ''[[SRD:Alter Self|alter self]]'' spell, except the duration is unlimited.  When in a different form, they assume the base land speed of the race, and can use items and weapons with their newfound hands.  Many kitsunes assume humanoid form all the time.  Caster level is equal to hit dice.
* Scent {{Ex}}:  Kitsunes have the [[SRD:Scent|scent]] ability.
* Spell-Like Ability {{Sp}}:  ''[[SRD:Silent Image|silent image]]'' -[[Cha]] modifier/day (minimum 1).  Caster level is equal to character level.
* Kitsunes possess a +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]], [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]], and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks.
* [[SRD:Automatic Languages|Automatic Languages]]: Common and Sylvan.
* [[SRD:Bonus Languages|Bonus Languages]]: Any (except Druidic).
* [[SRD:Favored Class|Favored Class]]: Beguiler<sup>PHB2</sup> or {{Property Link|Favored Class|SRD:Sorcerer|Sorcerer}}
* [[Level Adjustment]]: +[[Level Adjustment::0]] 
* [[ECL|Effective Character Level]]: [[Effective Character Level::1]]
