Changeling

'A mysterious race; 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’s an invaluable tool for grifters, spies, and others who wish to deceive. This leads many people to treat known changelings with fear and suspicion.'

Changelings in Sumondia
The very existence of Changelings in Sumondia is subject to debate. Some argue that they are just creatures of fiction invented to scare children, drawing inspiration from Ditto and Zoroark, whilst others swear they have seen a Changeling change its appearance before their eyes.

Due to this mystery surrounding Changelings, it is unknown when / how they arrived in Sumondia, be it with the First Settlers, as traders via sea, or whether Changelings are native to the land. Furthermore the geographic spread and size of the population of Changelings is also unknown.

Changeling Features
• Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2 and another ability score of your choice increases by 1.

• Age. Changelings mature slightly faster than humans but share a similar lifespan – typically a century or less. While a changeling can shapeshift to conceal their age, the effects of aging still catch up to them.

• 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. Despite common fears, few changelings embrace evil.

• Size. In their natural forms, changelings average between 5 to 6 feet in height, with a slender build. Your size is Medium.

• Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

• Changeling Instincts. You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, and Persuasion.

• Change Appearance. As an action, you can 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, but not so much that your size changes. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change.

You can't duplicate the appearance of a creature you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait.

You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die.

• Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and two other languages of your choice.
