Changelings in 5e also come with the ability of Unsettling Visage, which can be perfectly used as a surprise reveal to the rest of the party. Imagine, the elf sorceror is backed into a corner, and their face suddenly shifts to a grey visage that startles the monster and buys the "elf" some time to escape that conundrum. Now, the rest of the party wonders if the elf is using some strange magic, or if they were not who the party thought they were this whole time. Does the party accept the true identity, or do they reject it entirely? There is so much possibility with this race.

In my first campaign ever I was SO excited to play a changeling, until my DM forcibly outed me in a world where my race was illegal. He wrote it into the campaign that I had been using the face of an assistant to nobility so when we went to the castle I was outed to the party that had no clue. This really annoyed me because 1, I would’ve never used the face of a well known person. And 2, even if I HAD done that, knowing we were going to the castle, I would’ve revealed myself to the party beforehand. Because I was forcibly outed instead of having the chance to come clean, the party hated me for a long time because they felt I was untrustworthy.

Not with changeling, but once MG did something the same to me. I played a female that was trying to hide show to the world that she is a HE (lore reasons). First thing MG did was to reveal to our healer because boob ACCIDENTY slipped out when my arm was injured...

[@livvylowe8066]

Once my DM ran a one shot in the same world as our regular campaign, just in a different part of the kingdom. The royal bard had been eaten by a dragon and the queen was hosting a 3-day tournament to choose the new one. The Battle of the Bards. The first round was a 6v6 battle. The second, a series of 1v1 musical performances. The third, a battle with the dragon that ate the last bard. Only 2 people and me from our group of five went to the one shot. Of course, so did 9 other people. This of course meant that we had a 12-player BARD ONLY D&D session. So of course, what race is the best at intrigue? Nothing other than a changeling of course! So I played as a half-elf bard, a rich painter. Of course, he was often seen slipping away into the shadows, and when he came back, one of the other contestents usually had some huge problem with the guards. Some things I did with the changeling powers: Slipped away, transformed as one of the other contestants to a popular tavern and played a song mocking the queen. Transformed into one of the contestants and accused the two with the highest points. A few other things I can't remember as I have 8 INT in real life. Never the less, Varis Liadon, the defintiently-a-half-elf-painter, was made the Royal Bard. And the only other people who had any suspicion about anything were either reduced to ash by the dragon or ruined socially. Now, as this was in our campaign world, I'm wondering what nightmare this is going to cause for us in the future.

[@MGDrzyzga]

I've been writing an organization that could be interesting for changelings - The Faceless Alliance. The Faceless Alliance consists of changelings and other shapeshifters. They act as a kind of secret police - trying to uncover plots of changelings and preemptively stop them. Possibly by assassination. Specifically, they don't let changelings replace kings and other leaders. The logic of the Faceless Alliance is: if a changeling were outed as having replaced the king, people would freak out. Maybe attempt a genocide. So the Faceless Alliance tries to make sure no changeling is overly ambitious. The emblem of the Faceless Alliance is a d20, but in place of numbers, it bears the tragedy and comedy masks. And similar masks bearing other expressions.

[@murilouhlein2755]

That's reeeaaally cool! I thought of something like that too... A wizard or someone who knew changelings passed away, but showed a changeling his form. So, this changeling shows the wizard's form to others, so they basically can "clock in" as this guy, making a safe place for changelings. They write all conversations, actions and clock in times, so they can always be the same person. A plot could involve one die as this persona, and not write his death down (for obvious reasons).

[@dDoodle788]

Imagine if a changeling was democratically elected, like they just competed in the election as one of their identities and just fairly won. Then, the looser of the election tries to pass false information to the faceless alliance, saying that the real winner had been replaced by a changeling; and now due to a misunderstanding, the faceless alliance is trying to kill the innocent(at least in that instance) changeling. That could be a cool plot.

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

This is a really interesting race! I've got this concept for a Changeling detective, called Noir, whose "Divergent Persona" gives them proficiency and expertise with the Disguise Kit. The thing is, their coworkers all know the secret, and they are the force's secret weapon. The mole, the femme fatale, the guy who knows a guy. They're staunchly noble and straight as an arrow; they'd be out of guise 24/7 if they could walk down the street without getting accused for some crime or other. That said, I also like a character who's granted the power of "Changing" through blessing or curse. If I were to remake my Dungeon World druid, Secret, in 5e, they'd almost certainly be a Changeling Moon Druid (though unless I can reflavour enough spells to be a form of shapeshifting, the 5e Druid doesn't quite fit the flavour).

One of the funnest things I've done with a changeling is having her connect so deeply to her masks and personas that feeling a sufficiently strong emotion can induce a compulsive change into a different form. For example, if she's extremely scared, she is compelled to change into a tiefling wannabe bard character who is rather brave and cocky. Or even getting extremely emotionally intimate compelled her to take on the form of her closest friend, a wood elf, from her home town.

[@Grayson.P]

Changling inquisitor rouge: pump primary into INT for those sweet insight points, because of the insightful fighting ability that can grant sneak attack.

Plot twist: Your DM was a changling who impersonated every NPC you ever met.

[@diegoacosta8550]

I wish every KZbin video was to the point like this. And i love the “do all that KZbin shit” at the end lmao

Imagine a changeling warlock Entity that gave the warlock powers: Yo where my payback Changeling:What?Who?I never made a pact with you Entity that gave the warlock powers:You have that curse that I give everyone of my patrons Changeling:Nah that's something else. Entity:*Glares* Changeling:*chuckles nervously* *sweats nervously*

I want to play as a pregnant Changeling, who can't change their gender until they give birth. And have the big reveal at birth that I am in fact a Changeling this whole time. Starting my first campaign soon, the next one I will go for Changeling.

[@okkoheinio5139]

Is there any easily available way to definitely distinguish changelings in the world? I think it could be a nice premise that a way to identify changelings was discovered, and there would be changelings that want to get rid of it because they don't want to lose power, and there would also be changelings who want the technique to spread so others wouldn't see their kind as suspicious anymore

Hey, Davvy, it's not only humanoids, it's just anything that's your size and has the same amount of limbs. " You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You also can’t appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same; if you’re bipedal, you can’t use this trait to become quadrupedal, for instance." You could totally turn into that something freaky if that's your thing

[@alexpeterjoy]

can you do a rune scribe guide?? not sure what its supposed to be

[@akreid4614]

Agate dragoon tbh - it's a bad idea from wotc, that even they through out. At least - for the moment.

I had a player play a Changling. He was planning on shapeshifting into a dead guard and going to a funeral home the party was staying at after they got kicked out. Let me repeat: he was going to shapeshift into a guy that died recently and ask to stay at a funeral home!

[@moreaverage4813]

Oh boy, I'm playing a changeling in my current campaign, and I don't intend on revealing myself for a looong time, wanna see how they react hehe

[@sumsum3873]

2 years later how did it go?

"Laugh at each other's sandwiches" yeah I'm subscribing bro

[@Blarg6306]

Gonna play a changeling swashbuckler name Con (party will think name is spelled Khan) in the guise of a human airship captain. Can't wait to mess with them with the reveal!

[@microbaby6394]

On my birthday I am playing as a DM on my birthday and you taught me a lot about d&d

[@matekervalishvili8549]

It do be like that sometimes

[@MoonbornUwU]

The very end of the video when he talked about Patreon messed with my head

[@JohnSmith-xm4dk]

Be like me and have your changling be an assassin with the actor feat. You are the BEST at infiltration and blending in.

Changing circle of the moon Druid, with optional magical shapeshifting clothes The ultimate shapeshifter

Changling Fleshmage rouge.

[@shadowgarra360]

Barry Bend I sorta get the concept but would like to know more

[@barrybend7189]

@@shadowgarra360 look up D&D 3.0 sorcerer prestige classes. Its one of those but its a really great support/stealth/impromptu healer mage class.

[@TeaganBAllen]

I had a Changeling named Jol and I loved playing that crazy Druid bastard

[@TeaganBAllen]

@Rtkts I picked that because I wanted a total shapeshifter. No rules

[@ForlornJam]

Changelings worship the Traveller? Jester=Changeling confirmed

[@ChasoGod]

I can see two additional features a Changeling could get at higher levels. 1) Become immune to Enchantments and can no longer be magically sensed. Even if someone is scrying on the entire party they wouldn't be able to see the Changeling. 2) Able to change into non-humanoids and even into puddles of water or plants. Like Mystique when Apocalypse boosted her power in 'X-Men Evolution'.

[@thatpedanticcommenter5847]

Currently running a gangsters style campaign. With a changeling. Who is also a Whispers Bard. And has a spymaster backstory that fits their background for a human trafficking gang. Who has already committed what amounts to a war-crime in the first 5 sessions involving a cart of acid and 78 unsuspecting victims who were fodder for a mass distraction to dupe a bunch of clerics. As a DM, I cannot begin to describe how JoJo Part 5 that game is getting!

[@taylorh1872]

Ah yes, the changeling. One of the most interesting races (in my opinion) that....I haven't really played with too much. (Maybe it's just because I lack imagination but I barely come up with character concepts that can fit a changeling) However, I did make one interesting changeling chara- I MEAN....just your average human fighter who is definitely a human and yes that southern accent they have is 100% real because they are a human and that's how that human talks....don't pay attention to the fact that this "human farm boy" somehow is very good at disguises and mimicking people....it's just something he picked up while herding sheep!!

[@SCarr8813]

Am changeling. Am college of whispers. Planning on replacing High Council members.
