It is a non level adjusted race with the (SU) ability to cast disguise self on themselves. Except rather than an illusion it's a real change.Now Unearthed Arcana came up with two new systems to apply to your character. One called flaws, which has a wholly negative effect on your character, but lets you gain one feat in return for it. and other one called traits, this gives you a positive and negative side effect.I would talk to your DM about having a strange birth which caused this issue's. Your character's true self shows itself in a mirror, and is immortal due to draining life force. Your best bet is to come up with a back-story along the lines of your mother was infected with vampirism while you were in the womb.---Try making up your own flaw that looks something like this. As an added bonus you would get a feat, which would make up for you changing your race from human to changeling. 1) Mirror adversity: Due to your partial affiliation with the vampiric curse you are adverse to mirrors. Your true self is always shown in your reflection, and the presence of mirrors makes you feel uncomfortable, but has no other negative effects.Another thing that can be added in is traits.You could house rule a trait that looks like this2) Dark life span: The vampire that bit you was a half fiend, when you take on the half fiends form you gain its extended life span, granting you immortality. In exchange for this, you must drain X amount of Constitution from willing victims each week or age one category. If you reach the venerable age category and do not drain enough constitution within one week, you die as if of ageing. When in the fiends form you gain a bite attack as standard for a medium creature.---Then there are a special type of feats which are ancestry feats, they give you power in exchange for tapping into your ancestry. You could ask for a homebrew racial feat that looks like thisFeat: [Ancestry] Vampires fangs: You gain the vampires blood drain ability, but only while you have the bit attack.Blood Drain (Ex): A vampire can suck blood from a living victimwith its fangs by making a successful grapple check. If it pins thefoe, it drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution drain eachround the pin is maintained. On each such successful attack, thevampire gains 5 temporary hit points.</blockquote>
