[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3853740, member: 54846"] Several. Among other things, in Races of Eberron, there's substitution levels for Changeling Transmuters and Changeling Egoists. You could even make the case for a Changeling Telepath, given their ancestors are a race with [i]Detect Thoughts[/i]. Changelings have an affinity for this. How about a changeling who creates (or follows) a fighting style built around morphing the body mid-fight? Lengthening limbs, growing increasingly thin or short to dodge blows, etc. I'd allow a player (or as a player, if my DM would allow) create feats for a monk to develop those feats. But the way I see it, it's also less about just disguise and infiltration as it is defense mechanism. Imagine two muggers follow someone into an alley. The someone, a changeling, knows he's going to get attacked - so he changes his appearance - before their eyes - into a vampire. These thugs may know about changelings, but are they going to take the risk that he [i]isn't[/i] an undead monster about to eat their face? With proper planning, you can have some really nice psychological tricks up your sleeve. [/QUOTE]
