Another one of the races for my big book of races. Trying to build this guy to be balanced with the original set of races.
Please any help given would be appreciated.
Hmm, I like the concept.
It's a bit too elf-like for me in terms of the stats. In addition, I think the crucial aspect of foxes is not just brains but the telling of excellent lies and a certain force of personality. I'd drop the bonus to DEX and give them a bonus to CHA instead.
Now they're getting a bit too gnome-like. So how about a bonus to Acrobatics--possibly instead of Stealth?
I would also make the bonus rounds to Polymorph part of the base stats rather than an alternate: that's a cool thing! Not really very powerful, so it seems perfect for a little "extra helping."
Hope the suggestions help. Awesome race design!

One is bound to repeat the stats if they are following the so called "guide" to race building, which I'm kinda am. Which basically states 1 physical stat, 1 mental stat and then 1 -2 stat.
Though if some others say its good to do that, then I guess I will. After all, several monster races don't follow it..
Actually I should that skill bonus to something else, cause they are getting a +6 to stealth with it. Acrobatics sounds like a good one there.
The polymorph might actually get rolled into fox fire, with a new name fox magic. Kinda based off of kitsune.
Just thought of something else.. through out most stories of foxes they tend to be exceedingly lucky.. So perhaps some sort of "luck" bonus for the fox.
You know, I'll go with that.
Rough draft of the rework here..
New stats are -2 con +2 int +2 cha.
Small
Fast
Their racial skills are Acrobatics and Bluff.
Fox Magic: +1 Dc on Illusions and +1/2 minute duration on Polymorph spells per character level. Does not stack with extend spell.
I'm not too sure what to put in for a lucky aspect for them.
