Homebrew Mirror Changeling Species Details
Mirror Changelings
Mirror Changelings are those whose physical transformations are governed by their subconscious. They share the same true form as any other changeling, but their face and form shift depending on whomever is in their thoughts. Often when meeting someone for the first time they will automatically copy their appearance, which can be off-putting at first. However, due to their lack of control, they don't have the same reputation for deceit as their typical Changeling cousins.
Though they have less control, they are very observant picking up on subtle differences and occasionally even seeing through illusion.
Changelings have a fluid relationship with gender, seeing it as one characteristic to change among many.
Changeling Names: Aunn, Bin, Cas, Dox, Fie, Hars, Jin, Lam, Mas, Nix, Ot, Paik, Ruz, Sim, Toox, Vil, Yug

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.
Remaining in a chosen form will require Concentration unless you're under the effects of Calm Emotions or a similar spell. Your DM can determine when to initiate a concentration check out of combat.
