FWIW the Changeling change is the biggest thus far - Eberron lore has had various bits written to the idea that gnomes and halflings are off limits for changelings, requiring Disguise Self instead.

I know the thread has rocketed past this, but I'll point out that Spell Resistance is nerfed a very different way in the book - most monsters are converted to spell-like abilities rather than spells, which means Magic Resistance is more of a "Friendly Fire Resistance" than actually doing things...
