Yet another Toon, Fruity? Really?

Yeah.

Early April I asked was invited to a friend's personal D&D game after the game that had both Gardenia and Aseren go on hiatus. I had to throw together another Toon that could fit into their home game's dynamic, and they happened to still use homebrew that out group had somewhat abandoned. And since this was still the first and only game they ran, I decided to not roll up anything too busted.

The material we had was *passed down from a member who used to run a game that initially brought me into contact with them, and had ghosted the table due to circumstances that aren't worth scrutinizing. Amongst them was a homebrewed Alchemist class that directly references the Atelier games. Mechanically it's under tuned compared to others, but for the kind of game I was joining it was perfectly fine. The player [lineages] available also had a fun, if a little over tuned, version of Kitsune that had a fun spin on the shapeshifting aspect of their lore.

*Said member took it for themselves from another game that they had initially been a member of. This fact was learned though some dumb luck coming across a Roll20 listing from said previous group. I also took the opportunity to steal additional and updated material for myself when I cared to run 5E.

According to the mechanics, a Kitsune's fox form size increases each tier from the base size of Tiny, to "Medium", then landing at Large. The reference image really sells the scale of it; admittedly it might not be as drastic, but it's still cool. There are other, more busted, aspects of the [lineage] that I won't comment one; balance in 5E is a psy-op to convince players it's a well-designed game.
