Homebrew Changeling Dhampir Species Details

Poised between the worlds of the living and the dead, and being the offspring of a Changeling and a Psychic Vampire, they retain their grip on life yet are endlessly tested by vicious hungers. Their ties to the undead grant them a taste of a vampire’s deathless prowess in the form of increased speed and darkvision. Their ties to their Changeling parentage grant them a limited ability to change their shape.

Vampiric Hunger

They know a thirst slaked only by the living. Those who overindulge their thirst risk losing control and forever viewing others as prey. Those who resist might find exceptional ways of controlling their urges or suppress them through constant, molar-grinding restraint. In any case, temptation haunts dhampirs, and circumstances conspire to give them endless reasons to indulge. Changling Dhampirs feed on Psychic Energy.

Limited Shapechangeing Ability

As an action, you can change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, but not 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 can stay in the new form for up an hour, until you use an action to revert to your true form, or until you die.
