How does one make an ageless Kitsune?


Homebrew and House Rules


Hey all, I've been lurking about the boards for quite some time and reading alot of the cool stuff people have come up with.

I seem to recall reading in either the Inner Sea World Guide or Dragon Empires Gazetteer (sp?) that kitsune were fae like and lived much longer than 70 years or so. Would someone be able to help me out with this and if I was mistaken anyone know of a way to achieve this for a PC?

You do it through the mystical art of the handwave!

Seriously though, giving Kitsune an elven lifespan is something I'd be happy to do in a home game, as Paizo stating them with a human lifespan in the ARG really had me scratching my head.


I've honestly been looking everywhere trying to figure out how I made the mistake.

The best I can figure out is I was recalling the Oriental Adventures Kitsune which had Fae as a subtype and as such were ageless.

It doesn't make much sense to me either to have them live as long as orcs in some circumstances but as I am not the DM it would be their call.

This was why I was wondering if I'd gone mad and imagined them not having a max age or living longer or what, and if I had gone round the bend, how to achieve it via the rules.


If they eat part of a dead god, they pick up some of the godhood.
I've got to get the book they are in.

Personally, my house rule is that every kitsune feat grants a kitsune an extra tail (not just magical tail) and every tail delays the onset of aging penalties (but not bonuses) by 1,000 years. This includes physically advancing to new age categories, thus preventing you from reaching Venerable and dying with your glorious, beautiful tails.

But yeah, the kitsune and their nine-tailed legacy are woefully underused in Golarion. Breaks my heart.
