Fox

Your fox character has a variety of abilities that come with being a fox.

• Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.
• Age: Foxes typically reach adulthood around 8 to10 months old and live to be about 11 or 12 years old, though some live much longer!
• Alignment: Foxes delight in breaking rules. That’s what they’re made for after all, right? So, their alignment is best described as chaotic. They tend towards being neutral aligned, equally likely to rob a mansion or to stop the robbers in their tracks.
• Size: Foxes tend to average around two and a half feet in height, approximately. Your size is Small.
• Speed: Your base walking speed is 35 feet.
• Bite: Foxes possess pretty sharp teeth. You have a bite attack dealing 1d6 + your Dexterity modifier piercing damage. This increases to 1d8 + your Dexterity modifier at level 5, 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier at level 10, and 1d12 + your Dexterity modifier at level 15.
• Darkvision: You have darkvision up to 60 feet. Keen senses: You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
• Night Stalker: Foxes are keen nocturnal hunters, and they tend to stalk their prey before pouncing upon them. If it is dark, you have advantage on Stealth checks to hide.
• Rodent Rations: While a fox will eat just about anything, their favourite snacks are rodents. Sadly, most rodents know and flee at the sight of a fox. When encountering any rodent for the first time, the rodent must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be afflicted with the fear condition.
• Sly: Foxes are sneaky, but sometimes you still manage to find yourself caught with an enemy between you and the exit! You have advantage on Charisma (Deception) checks, useful for trying to talk your way out of sticky situations.
• Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and speak Vulpini—the fox language, composed of a few dozen vocalisations including haunting screams, howls, whimpers, crying, and a chuckling noise used both when fighting or when playing. You won’t find any foxes barking or yipping!

Standard Racial Traits

• Ability Score Modifiers: Foxes are agile and companionable, but tend to be physically weak. They gain +2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma, and –2 Strength. (0 RP)
  
• Type: Foxes are the Animal type. (2 RP)
  
• Size: Foxes are Tiny creatures, and gain a +2 size bonus to Dexterity and a –2 size penalty to Strength. Tiny races gain a +2 size bonus to their AC, a +2 size bonus on attack rolls, a –2 penalty on combat maneuver checks and to their CMD, and a +8 size bonus on Stealth checks. Tiny characters take up a space of 2-1/2 feet by 2-1/2 feet, so up to four of these characters can fit into a single square. Tiny races typically have a natural reach of 0 feet, meaning they can’t reach into adjacent squares. They must enter an opponent’s square to attack it in melee. This provokes an attack of opportunity from the opponent. Since they have no natural reach, they do not threaten the squares around them. Other creatures can move through those squares without provoking attacks of opportunity. Tiny creatures typically cannot flank an enemy. (4 RP)
  
• Base Speed: Foxes have a base speed of 40 feet. (1 RP)
  
• Languages:Foxes speak Vulpine and one extra language of your choice. Vulpine is the fox language, composed of a few dozen vocalisations including haunting screams, howls, whimpers, crying, and a chuckling noise used both when fighting or when playing. You won’t find any foxes barking or yipping! Foxes with high Intelligence scores can learn any languages they want (except Druidic and other secret languages). Do note that as creatures of the Animal type, if they learn languages spoken by humanoids, they are physically incapable of speaking those languages without some sort of magical aid. (1 RP)
