In humanoid form, the ingundi loses its natural attacks. An ingundi can remain in its assumed form for 1d10+10 rounds or until it chooses to end this ability. A change in form cannot be dispelled, but an ingundi reverts to its natural form when killed. A true seeing spell or ability reveals its natural form.here is the text from the original:The ingundi rarely appears in its true form. It has a powerful form of ESP, a well-developed change self power, and typically appears as some other, more innocuous, creature. It can be any creature from the size of a large dog to that of a bear. It can disguise itself this way twice a day; the disguise lasts for 1d10 + 10 rounds.When hunting humans or demihumans, it takes on the appearance of an attractive individual of the same race as its victim but of the opposite sex. The physical details of the illusion are picked right out of the mind of its prey. It always picks out a figure greatly desired, but frequently unattainable, by the victim. The ESP power can be blocked by magical spells, such as mind blank. With intelligent creatures there is always the danger of appearing as somebody who would not reasonably be there.the original text seems to indicate that this power was more of an illusion than an actual change of form.  so, you're absolutely right.  looking back over the original conversion thread, it seems like we were confusing the 2E spell of "change self" for the common 3.5 power of "change shape", which are really two different things.  (FYI, "ESP" is now known as Detect Thoughts".)the 2E spell "change self" is essentially the same as the 3.5 spell "disguise self" with a few differences: the duration of disguise self is signifanctly longer, and change self did not let you emulate a specific person.so, here is a proposed fix:Disguise Self (Su): Twice per day, an ingundi can use a well-developed version of the disguise self spell. It can assume the appearance of any Small, Medium, or Large creature, and it may return to its natural appearance before the duration expires.</blockquote>
