[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7404500, member: 6802951"] I'm aware that his staff was a powerful magic item that sun Wukong found. I was just pointing out that mentioning proficiency in quarterstaff may be unnecessary because I don't think that you can generate a character that isn't already proficient in it. :) I'm not sure where you're getting all that from. Changeling Shapechanger trait is: [I][B]Shapechanger[/B]. As an action, you can polymorph into any humanoid of your size that you have seen, or back into your true form. However, your equipment does not change with you. If you die, you revert to your natural appearance.[/I] Its not like an actual Polymorph or Shapechange spell that grants temp HP or special abilities. If you want the Wukong to be a race of shapechangers, then I'd suggest that you use the Changeling as a basis rather than the Wood Elf.
