Legacy species traits
Ability Score Increase
Your Charisma score increases by 2. In addition, one ability score of your choice increases by 1.
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.
Alignment
Changelings tend toward pragmatic neutrality, and few changelings embrace evil.
Size
Your size is Medium. To set your height and weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier: Size modifier = 2d4 Height = 5 feet + 1 inch + your size modifier in inches Weight in pounds = 115 + (2d4 x your size modifier)
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.
Changeling Instincts
You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, and Persuasion.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and two other languages of your choice.
