Changeling Paragon

Underworld crime bosses, talented bards and others who make their living through disguise, word or deception may become changeling paragons. They know the uses and limitations of their unique abilities and have the sensibility (or lack of morals) to make use of them. They use their mutable shapes to their best advantage or the advantage of an employer and enjoy completing a task through word and guile rather than by blade alone.

Making a Changeling Paragon

Abilities: Changeling paragons often benefit from a high Charisma, which improves both the effect of their disguises and the believability of their bluffs. Most also benefit from a high Intelligence and Dexterity, the better to learn languages and sneak about unnoticed.

Alignment: Any.

Starting Gold: 5d4×10 gp (125gp).

Starting Age: As rogue.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Changeling Paragon.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Changeling paragons are proficient with all simple weapons and with light armor. In addition, a changeling paragon is proficient with any one martial weapon of her choice.

Empathy (Sp): At 1st level, a changeling paragon can continuously detect the surface emotions of any creature she can see that is no more than 30ft. away. She can sense basic needs, drives, and emotions. Thirst, hunger, fear, fatigue, pain, rage, hatred, uncertainty, curiosity, friendliness, and many other kinds of sensations and moods can all be perceived. When the ability is active, the changeling paragon gains a +2 insight bonus on any charisma based skill checks when she interacts with others. This ability can be suppressed or resumed as a free action.

World Tongue (Ex): At 1st level, a changeling paragon's flair for languages improves. Whenever she acquires a new language, she may instead pick two languages. In addition, she may make Decipher Script skill checks untrained. These bonus languages are not retroactive.

Bonus Changeling feat (Ex): At 2nd level, a changeling paragon gains a bonus feat with the Changeling prerequisite. The character must meet the feat's other prerequisites normally.

Spellcasting: At 2nd level, a changeling paragon gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the level. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic or item creation feats, bard or assassin abilities, and so on).

If the Changeling Paragon has no levels in any spellcasting class, she gains +1d6 Sneak Attack instead of an additional level in a spellcasting class.

Ability Boost (Ex): At 3rd level, a changeling paragon may gain a +2 bonus to any one of her ability scores.
