This is for a campaign idea from Leliel's thread, where the PCs gradually become Japanese Yokai Spirits. I liked it a lot, and can use it for my own purposes, so I started homebrewing. Below are the Kitsune and the Nekomata, as divine spellcasters of animal form. I also made the Oni (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66344) for the same purpose.

Alternate Form: As the Alternate Form (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#alternateForm) special ability taking the form as a fox. A kitsune's Natural Spell bonus feat applies to its Alternate Form.
A kitsune's base ability scores and natural armor are the same in both forms, but its Strength Bonus, Dexterity Bonus, Natural Armor Bonus, and Size class abilities only apply to its fox form. The size of a kitsune's fox form must be Small, until it gets the Medium Form class ability and the Large Form class ability, enabling it to take the form of a Medium or Large kitsune respectively, if it so desires. A kitsune base speed in fox form is 40 feet, and it increases to 50 feet when it is in a Medium or Large sized fox form.
Spells: A kitsune casts divine spells, which are drawn from the kitsune spell list. To prepare or cast a spell, a kitsune must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level.

Kitsune meditate or pray for their spells. Each kitsune must choose a time at which she must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether a kitsune can prepare spells. A kitsune may prepare and cast any spell on the kitsune spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.
