Mountain Fox

Mountain Foxes are a sentient race. In the Mermaid language, they are called Kitsune.

Mountain Fox characters start with the following:

Strain Threshold: 12 + Willpower

Starting Experience: 105 XP

Starting Skills: A Mountain Fox starts with one rank in Enchantment or Stealth at character creation. They obtain this rank before spending experience points, and may not increase either skill above rank 2 during character creation.

Small: Mountain Foxesare silhouette 0 creatures.

Quadrupedal: Mountain Foxes have 4 paws, and as such have a difficult time interacting with objects that require opposable thumbs. Depending on the object and the amount of manual dexterity required for the task, Mountain Fox may be required to make a skill check for a mundane task that wouldn't normally require one, or increase the difficulty of a relative skill check by 1 or 2 difficulty dice. However, they do start with the Swift talent at character creation. This allows Mountain Foxes to ignore difficult terrain.

Teeth and Claws: When making an unarmed combat check, Mountain Foxes add +1 to their base damage and have a critical rating of 3. However, most Mountain Foxes try to resolve conflicts non-violently, considering that they're physically outmatched by most other races.
