Age. Changelings mature slightly faster than humans but share a similar lifespan—typically a century or less. While a changeling can shapeshift to conceal their age, the effects of aging still catch up to them.
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.
This means there is no duration, and unless you revert or die you will remain in the new form.
Changelings born from two changeling parents are born in their natural form: pale, slender, with colorless eyes and white hair.
Changelings are able to change their form at will without expending a spell slot or using a disguise kit, but there are limitations to their abilities. For instance, they cannot change the clothing or equipment that they are wearing. Whatever they were wearing as their previous form will carry over to their new one.
The short version is that a Changeling can shapeshift to a form that can produce sperm to impregnate someone, and can shapeshift to a form with a uterus and eggs to get pregnant, but a pregnant Changeling cannot shapechange to a form without a uterus without ending the pregnancy.
Some stories tell of changelings who forget they are not human and proceed to live a human life. Changelings who do not forget, however, in some stories return to their fairy family, possibly leaving the human family without warning. The human child that was taken may often stay with the fairy family forever.
Changeling Reproduction
If a changeling in a female form conceives a child, she loses the ability to change her gender until after the child is born.
Most changelings don't know they're changelings.
Though they may always feel somewhat different or removed from human life, most changelings are too young to understand who they truly are.
Changelings don't inherently recognize each other. If they don't want to be recognized then when they do something suspicious it would be an insight check against the changelings deception, which the changeling has advantage on. A changeling could have expertise in insight from divergent persona.
The new child—the changeling—is characterised by unresponsiveness, resistance to physical affection, obstreperousness, inability to express emotion, and unexplained crying and physical changes such as rigidity and deformity. Some are unable to speak.
As for being tattooed, changelings can definitely be tattooed, and they can just as easily erase the tattoo with a moment's thought.
Changelings have an interesting relationship with gender as a concept, which is probably part of the reason a lot of the art doesn't find it necessary to distinguish the males with facial hair. As they're changelings though, they can have any kind of hair they want.
By RAW changelings revert when they DIE but not when they are unconscious (it would be hard to maintain a long term masquerade if you revert when you sleep!). I bet suggested that a piece of a Changeling — such as cut hair — WILL revert, but that this is slow and may take up to 24 hours.
They tend to be pale in skin color with white or pastel hair, and are generally androgynous. Changelings are thought to be an uncommon race—though their true demographics remain unknown, as may live their entire lives masking as other sentient races.
Other times, Changelings don't speak at all, or show a lack of intelligence, and tend to become violent, screaming and biting at their parents. Another sign of a Changeling child was unusual behavior such as jumping, dancing, and spinning.
Changeling blood is green, unlike most other animals. Changelings, despite their thinly and seemingly fragile frame, are capable of surviving otherwise fatal injuries thanks to their magical abilities.
If you want it to be able to grow a tail when it changes into a tiefling or tabaxi, it is your choice. It is also your choice if you want the tail to be prehensile and able to grab and hold stuff. You can appear as a member of another humanoid race which will include things like tails, frills, gills, wings, horns, etc.
17. As a playable race, changelings have the following abilities: Shapechanger: Using an action they can change their appearance and voice at will, even adapting their size between small and medium in some cases.
Changeling Appearance
Their true skin is usually grey or pale white, and their facial features are blank slates to an unnerving degree. They're typically thin and gaunt, and their hair is usually silvery with an occasional green or pink tint.
Will a legless changeling regrow both legs when it copies someone? I say no. The changeling can change their coloration, hair length, sex, height, and weight, but they can't change their number, arrangement, or function of their limbs, because nothing in the feature says they can or even hints at it.
Babies are most at risk, although the Sidhe fear nothing more than iron and fire, so a pair of scissors or tongs may be left near to the crib, or the crib left close to a fireplace, and draping a garment belonging to the father of the child over the baby as it sleeps is also said to be a preventative.
Weaknesses. Connection to their mother – Killing a mother changeling will cause its children to die instantly. Fire – Setting a changeling on fire will kill it. Mirrors – A changeling's true form is revealed in a mirror.
Size. In their natural forms, changelings average between 5 and 6 feet in height, with a slender build. Your size is Medium.
