Homebrew Advanced Changeling Remade Species Details

This homebrew—Advanced Changeling Remade—is an enhanced version of the advanced changeling originally created by user emako_labyrinth. All praise and acknowledgment go to them for the core concept and mechanics. This version builds upon that foundation and aims to offer a refined and balanced take for broader use, and implements core mechanics.

Advanced Changelings are a refinement of their shapeshifting kin, capable of altering their voice, body, and presence with a thought. They are recognized as adults at a young age, respected through deeds rather than years. Their true forms are rarely seen; instead, they weave identities like others weave clothing. As natural survivors, they can adapt their minds to unfamiliar cultures and their bodies to hostile environments, embodying the concept of change itself.

Advanced Changeling Remade Traits

Advanced Changelings embody transformation. Their bodies and minds adapt endlessly, shaping them into perfect infiltrators, survivors, and manipulators.

Shapechanger

As an action, you can transform your appearance and voice. You may alter your height, weight, facial features, hair, skin, and gender. You cannot change your size beyond Small or Medium, and you cannot duplicate the appearance of a creature you have never seen. Your equipment does not change with you.

This functions like the Disguise Self spell at will, but it is a natural ability rather than magical.

Unaging

You cannot die of old age and are immune to magical aging.

Adaptive Mind

Thanks to your adaptive mind, you gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.

Environmental Adaptation

Choose an Adaptation Path (Deadlands, Ruin, etc.) at level 1 and level 5, granting environment-specific abilities.
