## Changelings
*Long ago there was a woman named Jes, and she had one hundred children. Her rivals conspired against her and swore to kill her children. Jes begged the Sovereigns for help, but their only answer was the wind and rain. In the depths of her despair, a lonely traveler took her hand. “I will protect your children if they follow my path. Let them wander the world. They may be shunned and feared, but they will never be destroyed.” Jes agreed, and the traveler gave her his cloak. When she draped it over her children their old faces melted away, and they could be whoever they wanted to be. And so it remains. Though the Children are shunned by all, the gift of the Traveler protects them still.*

-- Chance, changeling priest

A changeling can shift its face and form with a thought. Many changelings use this gift as a form of artistic and emotional expression, but it is an invaluable tool for grifters, spies, and others who wish to deceive. This leads many people to treat known changelings with fear and suspicion.

### Hidden People
Changelings are spread across Khorvaire. Wherever humans can be found, there are changelings; the question is whether their presence is known.

Changelings are born to one of three paths. A few are born and raised in stable communities, where changelings are true to their nature and deal openly with the people around them. Some are orphans, raised by other races, who find their way in the world without ever knowing another like themselves. Still others are part of the nomadic changeling clans spread across the Five Nations who keep their true nature hidden from the single-skins. Some of these clans maintain safe havens in major cities and communities, but most prefer to wander, following the unpredictable path of the Traveler.

In creating a changeling adventurer, consider the character’s relationships with the people around them. Does the character conceal their true changeling nature, or do they embrace it? Do they have connections to a changeling community or clan, or are they alone and in search of companions?

\columnbreak

### Masks and Personas 
In their natural form, changelings are slender and pale with colorless eyes and silver-white hair. A changeling can alter its physical appearance with a thought. While this can be used to deceive others, it is a natural form of expression for the changeling. A changeling shifts shapes the way others might change clothes.

A casual shape—one created on the spur of the moment, with no depth or history—is called a mask. A changeling mask can be used to express a mood or to serve a specific purpose and then never used again. However, many changelings develop identities that have more depth. They build an identity over time, crafting a persona, with history and beliefs. This focused identity helps a changeling pinpoint a particular 2 skill or emotion.

A changeling adventurer might have personas for many situations, including negotiation, investigation, and combat. Personas can be shared by multiple changelings; there might be three healers in a community, but whoever is on duty will adopt the persona of Tek, the kindly old medic.

Personas can even be passed down through a family, allowing a younger changeling to take advantage of contacts established by previous users of the persona.

### Changeling	Names
A changeling might use a different name for each mask and persona, adopting new names as easily as they develop new faces. The true name of a changeling tends to be monosyllabic; however, there are often accents to a changeling’s name that are expressed through shapeshifting, something single-skins will likely miss. For instance, two changelings might have the name Jin, but one is Jin-with-vivid-blue-eyes and one is Jin-with-golden-cheeks.

Changelings have a fluid relationship with gender, seeing it as one characteristic to change among many others.

**Changeling Names:** Bin, Cas, Dox, Fie, Hars, Jin, Lam, Mas, Nix, Ot, Paik, Ruz, Sim, Toox, Vil, Yug

\pagebreak

### Changeling	Traits
Your changeling character has the following traits.
___
**Ability Score Increase.** Your Charisma score increases by 2, and either your Dexterity, Intelligence or Wisdom increases by 1 (your choice).
___
**Creature Type.** You are a Fey (Shapechanger).
___
**Alignment.** Changelings hate to be bound in any way, and those who follow the path of the Traveler believe that chaos and change are important aspects of life. Most tend toward pragmatic neutrality as opposed to being concerned with lofty ideals. Few changelings embrace evil.
___
**Size.** In their natural forms, changelings average between 5 and 6 feet in height, with a slender build. Your size is Medium or Small, you can change between the two sizes at will.
___
**Speed.** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
___
**Passage of Time.** Changelings mature slightly faster than humans but do not actually age, and typically leave their old life behind after they hit the middle age of the society they were raised in.
___
**Change Appearance.** As an action, you can transform your appearance or revert to your natural form. You can’t duplicate the appearance of a creature you’ve never seen, and you revert to your natural form if you die.

You decide what you look like, including your height, weight, facial features, the sound of your voice, coloration, hair length, sex, and any other distinguishing characteristics. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You also can’t appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same; if you’re bipedal, you can’t use this trait to become quadrupedal, for instance. Your clothing and other equipment don’t change in appearance, size, or shape to match your new form, requiring you to keep a few extra outfits on hand to make the most compelling disguise possible.

Even to the most astute observers, your ruse is usually indiscernible. If you rouse suspicion, or if a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.
___
**Unsettling Visage.** When a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. You must use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses.

Using this trait reveals your shapeshifting nature to any creature within 30 feet that can see you. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
___
**Divergent Persona.** You gain proficiency with one tool and skill of your choice. Define a persona associated with that proficiency: establish the name, race, gender, age, and other details. While you are in the form of this persona, the related proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses that proficiency.
___
**Languages.** You can speak, read, and write Common and two other languages of your choice.

## Changeling Feat
###
___
#### Extra Malleable
*Prerequisite: Changeling, 4th level*
___
Your body has become far more malleable to the point that you can create more limbs to perfectly appear as another race like an Aarakocra or a Tiefling.

* As an action, you can create extra limbs or alter your limb size but you can only have one extra limb at a time, these limbs can be a second pair of arms, or a pair of wings like an Aarakocra (All listed below). You can dismiss one of or all of these alterations as a reaction but cannot use this ability again for 5 rounds.

* When you reach 11th and again at 17th level, you can have an extra transformation option from the list below.
___
**Arms:** You grow a second pair of arms or increase your current arm size of an appearance you desire. With these arms they function like your normal arms, these arms give you advantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws. If you aren't wearing specially made armor then you cannot don armor and clothing is ripped if donned.
___
**Eyes:** You grow a second pair of eyes or increase your eyes sizes of an appearance that you desire. With these eye's you gain darkvision to a distance of 30 feet and you gain advantage or Wisdom (Perception) checks. You also gain a proficiency with the Perception skill if you don't already have it, and you can add half of your Wisdom modifier to your Passive Perception. (rounded up)
___
**Legs:** You grow out another pair of legs or drastically alter them transforming your lower half entirely, similar in appearance to goat or horse legs.  With these legs your movement speed increases by a number of feet equal to 5 x your Proficiency Bonus.  However, when climbing without a spider climb like ability, each foot of movement costs you 4 extra feet, instead of the normal 1 extra foot.
___
**Size:** You alter your size to now be able to shift your sizes sacrificing your ability to shrink or grow for the time being.  You can choose to either grow or shrink yourself.  When you grow, you lose the ability to become small and can now shift your size between Medium and Large as an action.  When you shrink, you lose the ability to become medium and can now shift your size between Small and Tiny as an action.
___
**Tail:** You grow a tail of an appearance and length that you desire. With your tail, you use it like a third hand or to aid in your movements, this tail gives you advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks and Dexterity saving throws.
___
**Wings:** You grow large wings of an appearance that you desire. With your Wings, you have a flying speed of 30 feet if you aren't wearing medium or heavy armor and aren't exceeding your carrying capacity.
