As inconstant as the sea, as strange as the stars, and as wild as the Beast himself, yes. I know well of the Shapeshifters and Changelings... They are a quiet people, mostly. They do their best to live lives among their neighbors, hidden. Many a changeling child has been left upon a doorstep, disguised as an infant. Or toddled into town, barely able to keep standing for their youth. Yes. I know well of these beings...In their true form, beneath the facade of humanity, or whatever guise they choose, they hold some resemblance to depictions of the Dweller. Large black eyes dominate a pale grey face with only the impression of a nose. Thin-lipped mouths and tiny ears. With pale and wispy hair as delicate as a Sprite's but far longer. They largely lack gender, and mimic it in the forms they choose. But even in their native form some choose to shape themselves into approximations of men, women, and otherwise.It is said that there are as many changelings hidden among the faces of Achelb as there are -true- faces. But if this is true? It would be damned hard to discern. For their new face is as true as your own. Flesh and bone reshaped to change appearance. I can only imagine how painful it must be, like holding a smile too wide for days upon end...-The Chronicler-Age: Changelings mature slightly faster than humans but share a similar lifespan — typically a century or less. While a changeling can transform to conceal their age, the effects of aging affect them similarly to humans.Size: In their natural forms, changelings average between 5 to 6 feet in height, with a slender build. Your size is Medium.Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.Shapechanger: As an action, you can change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height and weight, but not so much that your size changes. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the appearance of a creature you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait.You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die.(Changelings aren't more likely to abandon their children than any other group of people. It's just the minor fearmongering that some groups put onto them out of distrust and confirmation bias.)</blockquote>
