kitsune human form, clothing?

[daimaru]

A kitsune in human form can be a different size than in fox form so what about their clothing? I would think that if a kitsune had to take time to strip, transform, and put on new clothing and larger armor the rules would say so, so at the very least I would assume all sized items would transform along with the kitsune.

So this brings up another question. A kitsune has only one standard human form so do they always come dressed in the same set of clothing when they take human form? If it's better clothing than the base adventurer's outfit does it have to be paid for? Probably, since presumably the armor does too.

A kitsune's alter self ability works just like any other polymorph effect. Your clothes and gear automatically resizes to suit the new form.

[Claxon]

A kitsune's human form is the same size as it's fox form, at least in the sense that both are medium creatures.

Now, in the sense that the bodies not be exactly the same size. Handwave it. It's not importnat. You transform and are wearing the same clothes before and after.

I thought clothes and other worn items were absorbed (hidden) when a kitsune shifted to animal form? In that case, upon assuming human form, a kitsune would be wearing whatever he was wearing when he last shifted from human to animal form.

But if we are talking about their alternate humanoid form, then yes, the clothing would presumably resize to fit the new shape if the sizes of the forms are not identical -- and any clothes removed after being resized would revert to their original size as soon as they become unattended items.

The two humanoid forms (kitsune and human) are the same size. Ergo any cloths remain unchanged between the two. If they turn into a fox (tiny) the clothes are absorbed.

Let's look at the random weight and height table for the two races (only height figures shown)
Human
-male: 4 ft. 10 in. +2d10 in. (5 ft - 6 ft. 6 in.)
-female: 4 ft. 5 in. +2d10 in. (4 ft. 7 in. - 6 ft. 1 in.)
Kitsune
-male: 4 ft. 10 in. +2d8 in. (5 ft. 0 in. - 6 ft. 2 in.)
-female: 4 ft. 5 in. +2d8 in. (4 ft. 7 in. - 5 ft. 9 in.)

So overall, kitsune are about the same height as humans. Their weights are a bit lower, but that just means that their clothes might hang loose if they were fitted for their human for.

My problem would be the tail personally. I'd imagine normal pants would be rather uncomfortable for that. And if you had pants meant to let the tail out, then there would be a large hole that made it look like you were preparing to show off a tramp stamp you were about to get.

Skirts/kilts would solve that though.
