Changeling, Eberron

With ever-changing appearances, changelings reside in many societies undetected. Each changeling can supernaturally adopt any face they like. For some changelings, a new face may reveal an aspect of their soul. The first changelings in the multiverse appeared in the Feywild, and the wondrous, mutable essence of that plane lingers in changelings today—even in those who have never set foot in the fey realm. Each changeling decides how to use their shape-shifting ability, channeling either the peril or the joy of the Feywild. Sometimes they adopt new forms for the sake of mischief or malice, and other times they don a new identity to right wrongs or delight the downtrodden. In their true form, changelings appear faded, their features almost devoid of detail. It is rare to see one in that form, for a typical changeling alters their shape 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 mask can be used to express a mood or to serve a specific purpose and then might never be used again. However, many changelings develop identities with more depth, crafting a persona complete with history and beliefs to go with each shape. A changeling adventurer might have personas for many situations, including negotiation, investigation, and combat. Multiple changelings can share a persona; a community might be home to three healer changelings, with whoever is on duty adopting the persona of Andrea, the gentle physician. Personas can even pass down through a family, allowing a younger changeling to take advantage of contacts established by the persona's previous users.

You are a Fey.

Medium (about 4–7 feet tall) or Small (about 2–4 feet tall), chosen when you select this species.

To set your height and weight randomly for a Medium Changeling, start with rolling a size modifier:

Size modifier = 2d4 Height = 5 feet + 1 inch + your size modifier in inches Weight in pounds = 115 + (2d4 x your size modifier)

Thanks to your connection to the fey realm, you gain proficiency in two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion.

Deception, Persuasion

As an action, you can shape-shift to change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height and weight and can change your size between Medium and Small. You can make yourself appear as a member of another playable species, though none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the appearance of an individual you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. This trait doesn't change your clothing and equipment. While shape-shifted with this trait, you have Advantage on Charisma checks. You stay in the new form until you take an action to revert to your true form.

You can speak, read, and write Common, and your choice of two of the following standard languages: Common Sign Language, Draconic, Dwarvish, Elvish, Giant, Gnomish, Goblin, Halfling, Orc.
