Void Kitsune (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: In particular, the unlimited use of polymorph stands out to me. Polymorphing gives you a buffer of hit points because only excess over your polymorphed form is applied to your original hit points. So this gives you a lot of potential hit points, especially at a low level. The tails being an extra hand and also boosting your ability to essentially inspire yourself also improve more frequently than a dragonborn's breath and go beyond 5th level improvement. The soul of the void trait is also very poorly written and seems very strange with the sparse lore. You literally become a slime? As in changing into one by stat block? Overall, there's a bit much and it doesn't all go together well in terms of balance against first-party content.
