Tanukin

The Tanukin embody the playful, exuberant spirit of Akuji. Known for their vibrant personalities and love of chaos, Tanukin possess a natural talent for illusion magic. They use this gift to confound, entertain, and prank both friend and foe alike. Their shifting villages and ever-changing appearances reflect their fluidity, and many Tanukin are skilled performers and storytellers who thrive on laughter and surprise.

Tanukin Magic

You know the minor illusion cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the disguise self spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the alter self spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma or Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells (your choice when you gain this trait). You can also cast either of these spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.
