Hi i´m making a changeling pc, and i would like to know if i can use it´s change Appearance feature, to change into something with a tail, wings or gills etc. Like if i change into a tiefling, would my pc have a tail that can move or do i have to make one with a disguise kit?
I got a question, so long as I choose a humanoid race of similar size category I as a changeling can turn into them so what If I want to change to look like so elder dwarf who is almost at the end of their lifespan seeing as you get older an older your body starts to shrink a bit or if I want to change into an elf child would it be considered becoming small size if I wanted to look like a 6 year old elf or a 345 year old dwarf who has shrunk with old age so that they are under 4 feet tall.

You cannot change your size category. You can change your height and weight but must remain within the Medium size category. Dwarves, even in old age, will be Medium.

So say if i wanted to become a dragon in appearance (even if its a dragon standing on its hind legs looking like a human since i cant be anything other then human shape). Would it be possible?

Not by RAW, its the wrong number of limbs (4 legs + 2 wings usually) and would add a tail.
If your DM is on board you may be able to have some wiggle room, I once was in a game where my DM let me impersonate a Deva (https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/16840-deva) by making myself look like them minus wings and then use an illusion spell to make wings.

Technically, no. I think the forms have to be anatomically similar. So bipedal - no extra appendages - gills - etc.
That said it’s possible your DM could waive that. Adding a tail isn’t really a big deal but gills would be. So yea - run it by your DM.

So is a tail a limb or an appendage? Seriously cant believe this still has not been clarified all the way to publication.
Tails aren't limbs. However, the trait doesn't change your clothes or equipment so sprouting a tail on short notice might still be problematic.
