Doppelganger

Doppelganger traits

Your Doppelganger character has certain characteristics in common with other Doppelgangers.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score and your dexterity score increase by one as well as one ability score of your choice.

Age. Doppelgangers reach maturity at the age of 15 and can live through their second century.

Alignment. Alignment for Doppelgangers vary widely due to the decentralized nature of their society. Most Doppelgangers, however, are of a chaotic nature.

Size. Doppelgangers are about the same size of humans, ranging from under five feet tall to over six. Your size is medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. You have darkvision in your shapeshifted form, even if that form would not have it normally.

Duplicity. You gain proficency in deception. If you are already proficient in Deception you gain expertise.

Slippery Mind. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Read Thoughts. You can magically read the surface thoughts of one creature within 60 ft. of it. The effect can penetrate barriers, but 3 ft. of wood or dirt, 2 ft. of stone, 2 inches of metal, or a thin sheet of lead blocks it. While the target is in range, the doppelganger can continue reading its thoughts, as long as the doppelganger's Concentration isn't broken (as if concentrating on a spell). While reading the target's mind, the doppelganger has advantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion) checks against the target.

Shapechanger. As an action, you can polymorph into any humanoid of your size that you have seen, or back into your true form. However, your equipment does not change with you. If you die, you revert to your natural appearance.

Languages You can speak common and two other languages of your choice.
