Changeling Instincts.

• Thanks to your connection to the fey realm, you gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion.

Shapechanger.

• You know the Alter Self spell, and can cast it for free a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus using no components. Casting the spell through this feature changes the spell in the following ways:
  • This spell does not take Concentration, and instead lasts for 1 hour, until you change back to your original form using an action or bonus action, or until you die. At the end of this spell’s duration, you can expend another use of this feature to extend the spell’s duration by another hour.
  • You can only choose the Change Appearance option, and cannot duplicate the appearance of a creature or individual you’ve never seen.
  • You recover all uses of this feature at the end of a long rest, and recover one use of this feature when you finish a short rest.
• 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 and can change your size between Medium and Small. 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.

Languages.

• Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.
