Horrifically Overpowered Kitsune Traits for PF1 (Patreon)

I did species traits for all the standard traits of the standard species. And I thought that would likely be all I'd do of that. And then I got a commission to do tiefling traits. And, upon discovering that was an option, ANOTHETR patron opted to commission me to do Horrifically Overpowered Kitsune traits...

Just to be clear folks--you can almost ALWAYS pay me to write something. That's what I do! I game and I write things. :)

You could either access these through HO feats (One feat per trait, or maybe one feat per two traits), or a GM could just run a game with Super Species with Horrifically Overpowered Traits, and let the chips land where they may.

As always, paying Patrons can find this, and all other HO content, at the Index of Horrifically Overpowered Content.

HO Kitsune Traits

Low-Light Vision: You have blindsight to a range of 150 feet. You gain information as if you had seen the creature in bright light, sniffed them, heard them, touched them, and tasted them, though you don't take any associated penalties for doing any of those things.

Change Shape: You can change your shape to that of any humanoid within 1 size category of you. This supernatural ability can act as alter self or giant form I, except it is instantaneous (you retain the shape until you change it again), and you can change shape to look like a specific individual.

Agile: You receive 1 bonus rank in Acrobatics at each character level, restricted to a max number of ranks equal to your level. You receive skill unlocks for Acrobatics as if you had 5 more ranks than your true total. You can move at full speed at no penalty when using Acrobatics for tasks that are normally restricted to half speed, or take a penalty if moving faster than half speed.

Kitsune Magic: You gain the Charm domain as a cleric with a class level equal to half your character level (minimum 1st). You can cast each of your domain spells once per day, or expend a higher-level domain slot to cast a lower-level spell. Some kitsune bloodlines gain access to a different domain, as determined by the GM.

Natural Weapons: In any form you take, you may choose to have a bite attack you can make as a primary attack, adding 1.5x your strength to the damage, even when making other natural or unarmed attacks or using manufactured weapons. The base damage of this bite is equal to an unarmed attack of a monk of a level equal to your character level. You have an arcane pool equal to that of a magus with a level equal to your character level, and can use this pool exclusively to augment your bite.

Languages (Kitsune): You gain the ability to speak, write, and understand the native language of any creature you emulate with change shape, and can use your character level in place of ranks of Linguistics to emulate their handwriting and formal documents.

Horrifically Overpowered Alternate Kitsune Species Traits

Keen Kitsune: Your Dexterity and Intelligence increase by +2. These increases stack and are gained as if through level advancement.

Gregarious: The penalty creatures take from this ability is permanent. You can make Diplomacy checks to change attitude as a standard action.

Skilled: All skills are class skills for you. You gain skill unlocks for all your skills as if you had 4 more ranks in each skill than your actual rank total (9 more for skill you already gain unlocks 5 ranks early with other HO kitsune features, such as Acrobatics if you also have HO Agile).

Multilingual: You can speak, read, and write all languages except secret languages (such as Druidic). If you also have HO Languages (Kitsune), you gain 1 bonus rank of Linguisitics at every character character (to a maximum ranks equal to your character level), and your ability to emulates and forge handwriting and documents of humanoids you assume the form of is so perfect it cannot be detected without divination magic.

Duplicitous: You gain 1 bonus rank at each level in Bluff and Disguise, to a maximum equal to your character level. You gain skill unlocks for these skills as if you had 5 more ranks in each skill than your actual rank total. You have a permanent nondetection cast at your character level against any spell that would reveal a Bluff or Disguise of yours.

Fast Shifter: You can use your change shape trait as a free action up to twice a round.

Superior Shapeshifter: You can cast polymorph on yourself as a spell-like ability an unlimited number of times per day. It is treated as permanent--any form you take you retain until you use another shapechanging ability. You gain the shapechanger subtype.

And, a new Horrifically Overpowered Feat!

Kitsune Paragon [Horrifically Overpowered]

You are a legendary kitsune, embodying the most vaunted traits of the bloodline.

Prerequisite: Kitsune.

Benefit: You are immune to all polymorph effects you wish to be immune to. If you choose not to be immune to a polymorph effect, you can choose to end that effect as a free action at any time, even when it is not your turn. You gain the See in Darkness universal monster ability. You gain the Magical Tail feat eight times, all as bonus feats.
