Homebrew Changeling Beast Species Details
As all other plane touched races do, changeling true form shave numerous physical characteristics they share regardless of their bloodline. Their skin tones cover all sorts of shades of gray, some of which can have slight hint of a blue, green or red to them, and the texture of their skin is smooth to touch, seemingly featureless. Unlike eyes of most other beings, eyes of the changelings in their true form are characteristic by being completely blank, surrounded by darker shade of gray. Most of the time, changelings have white to silvery hair, but ones with blue, pink, green or other hues to them have been seen, as well as any color. Of course, none of this applies once the changelings turn into someone else - with their alienability, they can take form of anyone they have seen, or modify their looks in many ways, limited only by their imagination,and keeping their basic shape intact.
Changeling Beast Traits
"I have watched people lie, cheat and trick others for their own gain. I have watched how humanity turns against each other at the merest hint of provocation. I had lived most of my life more honrest than Humans and other races have been in a week. Yet I am the one ridiculed and hated for what I am. I have not deserved this hatred, but mark my words... I will ensure that I have earned it." – Chryss, the Queen of MiseryAbility Score Improvement
