Changeling

Sizesmall, medium

Survival for a Changeling depends on the masks they wear. Capable of assuming the forms of others while keeping their true identity beneath the guise, they navigate the world with a cautious and highly adaptable demeanor. Their personal behavior ranges from secretive trickery to diplomatic chameleonism, but beneath whatever shape they choose lies a pale, featureless true form. Regardless of the guise, a distinct physical tell—such as a unique eye color or a lingering mark—remains visible.

Traits

Read the Room

You read people instinctively. When you observe a creature you can see or hear, you can sense when they are hiding something from you, and you have advantage on checks to read its true intentions.

Shifting Face

By spending 2 AP, you alter your appearance to resemble any small or medium humanoid you have seen, including their voice and general build. Your size category does not change, and the change is purely cosmetic—your statistics, gear, and capabilities remain the same. You can maintain this form indefinitely and return to your true form by spending 1 AP.

Unobtrusive

You go unnoticed easily. You have advantage on checks to avoid being recognized, blend into a crowd, or pass for someone you are not. You leave no detectable trace (no footprints, no scent, no fingerprints) when you don’t want to.
