A Wierd Thing Happened in Pathfinder....
11 years ago
...well, at the start of the game. Were are starting the Emerald Spire Superdungeon and we started with rolling up our character's histories. I'm playing a female Slayer (Advanced Class Guide) and when I was rolling up her sins I got the 'twins' result and then 'identical twins'. As per the rules, I rolled again and once again, same result. So, my character is currently walking around as a set of identical quads -- and each one is a different Adventuring class: Slayer (current), Sorceress (2nd born), Ninja (3rd born), and Oracle (4th). I was thinking they'd make great characters. So, what kind of animal species has multiple births and ISN'T dog or cat? I was thinking something furry, not scaly, and different...
If you want to go double-plus extra weird, what if they were actually two sets of conjoined twins and had to be magically separated as newborns?
And as an aside, you'll envy the 'Sune Sorc, just sayin'.
They get a Str hit, which isn't a problem for a Dex-based class like Slayer, or a Cha-based Sorc, or a Cha-based Oracle, or a Dex-based Ninja. In fact, you'll notice they get a bonus to Dex and Cha. You chose wisely, friend.
They also get some nice racial traits and alternate traits. For example, Kitsune get +1 to the DC of Enchantment spells. They also get a special ability called Change Shape, which can be modified to completely break the Polymorph rules. You see, ordinarily, Polymorph and similar spells only let you take the form of a generic example of a given race. But the Realistic Likeness feat allows a Kitsune to assume the form of any specific humanoid. Specific. That's perfect for infiltration.
There are so many awesome things you can do. Take a 'Sune Sorc with Realistic Likeness and the Rakshasa bloodline and become the ultimate man-with-no-face. 'Sune Sorc with the Fey bloodline is someone everybody loves. A Slayer or Ninja with Swift Kitsune Form and Vulpine Pounce can take a full attack action on a charge. A Kitsune Oracle can become an unexpected weaponmaster and gain proficiency with pretty much anything thanks to the Favored Class ability. A Kitsune Ninja can gain a bonus use of ki points. And so on.
There's a lot you can do with Kitsune, especially now that they've added subraces.
