Recent History

Hailing from the dark realm known as Ephialtes, Changelings are one of the least-known of all extraplanar races due to their natural ability to hide in plain sight and their general reluctance to be identified.


General Description

Being shapeshifters, Changelings often prefer to take the form of a native race in general surroundings in order to avoid making themselves known. They are a race of androgynous hermaphrodites with no real concept of gender, and their true forms are tall reptilian humanoids with long tails, no external noses, blonde hair, long sharp ears and reptilian yellow eyes. Their smooth skin is actually made up of tiny pea-green interlocking scales and their blood, curiously, is a dark blue and utterly foul in both taste and smell.

Character Creation Stat Block

+2 Cha, -2 Con

Languages: Common, Deepspeech, any other languages common to where you currently inhabit

Change Appearance: As an action, you can shapeshift into any Small, Medium or Large bipedal player race. You remain in this form until you use an action to change to another form or back to your true form, you are knocked unconscious or you are killed. You can also be forced to change back to your true self by moments of extreme emotion; this is up to your DM to decide and should be determined with a Will Save.

  • 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. 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.

Changeling Instincts: You have proficiency in Deception and Persuasion.

Darkvision: You have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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 colour in darkness, only shades of grey.

Ravenous: Your shapeshifting abilities use an awful amount of energy to keep working properly. You require twice as much food as other creatures your size.

Naturally Stealthy. You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you.
