Vigilante Build For A Kitsune

I am rather intrigued by the idea of a kitsune vigilante. It's the whole natural ability to change shape that makes it fit thematically. I was wondering about which particular build or archetype would work best with the kitsune. I'm leaning towards Magical Child at the moment. Any thoughts?


I think I wanna know what the class does before I give advice...

Is Magical Child an archetype/option for vigilante? I checked my old playtest document/google but not seeing much regarding this.

I played throughout the playtest as a kitsune warlock vigilante. It was fun, but there's honestly no benefit to picking any one archetype over the others. Play what you like best!

As a general rule, if you go stalker you'll want to trade out kitsune magic for duplicitous, which gives you +2 on all Bluff and Disguise checks. If you go warlock (and possibly zealot) you'll want to keep kitsune magic and grab a few enchantment spells. Brute is probably worst kitsune archetype, since it revolves around Strength, but turning into a giant, Hulk-esque fox monster is pretty cool! (My kitsune bloodrager already does that, though.)

Well, the vigilante is a bit redundant with the Kitsune's shapeshifting, I think.

Magical Child is like a less powerful Unchained Summoner (same spell list, no Summoning spell-like abilities, improved familiar instead of Eidolon), so you might as well go with the US.
If you're set on the Vigilante class, any non strength build should be okay.

Yeah but, magical transformation sequence from ordinary human to crime-fighting fox.
