Key Features

Shapechanger

As an action, you can change your appearance and voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including coloration, hair length, sex, height, and weight. 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 an individual 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 (2014)

You gain proficiency in two of the following skills: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, or Persuasion.

Unsettling Visage (2014)

When a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that roll. You must use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Divergent Persona (2014)

You gain proficiency with one tool of your choice. Define a unique identity associated with that proficiency, including an appearance different from your own.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and two other languages of your choice.
