[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5719773, member: 4936"] [sblock=Selc]Oh oh no, I meant a one-time +2 to any one stat, at 1st level that can't be changed...just like a Pathfinder human or half-elf. Hee. The reference to 'preparation for any role' was just a fluffy way of saying that a changeling can be decent at any class (like a human or half elf can be). I think between the stat boost, the upgrade to Enchantment from sleep/charm, and the 3 skill boost, a changeling is pretty much on par with humans/half-elves as far as racial goodies. Their shapechange power is clearly a bit more powerful in a non-spellcasting class, but the fact that it's permanent and at-will helps mitigate the fact that it's, in some ways, inferior to a 1st level spell. Certainly if we import the Vestments of Many Styles, then its main weakness can easily be circumvented and, as we've seen in-game, the ability can be used to great effect since it allows only an Insight vs Bluff check, not a Will save. So yeah, if that all seems kosher, then I'll have one Whisper coming right up. :)[/sblock] Also submitted for your approval; a Pathfinderized version of: [sblock=Minor Shapeshift][B]Minor Shapechange (Transmutation, Polymorph, Su)[/B] You make your body and voice - but not clothing, armor, weapons, and equipment - appear different.
