Werefoxes are curious and agile tricksters that love to groom themselves. As humanoids, they are somewhat taller and skinnier than most, though they are also somewhat muscular. Werefoxes prefer to fight in their hybrid form, usually using their animal form when a quick escape is needed. They don't usually pass on their curse, but when they do, they usually induct the new werefox into a village or other small settlement usually composed of twenty or more individuals in a secluded natural environment, typically close to a forest or mountain. They also tend to keep foxes and giant foxes as pets and hunting companions. Characters as Werefoxes A character that becomes a werefox gains a Dexterity of 16 if his or her score isn't already higher. Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on whichever is higher of the character's Strength and Dexterity.
