Size: Naturally changelings are between 5 and 6 feet in height, with a slender build. Your size is Medium.

Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

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.

Changeling Instincts: You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, or Persuasion.

Change Appearance: As an action, you can transform your appearance or revert to your natural form. You revert to your natural form if you die. You can duplicate a creature if you have spent a ritual minute with their deceased body, this body may not be more than one week old.

When you make yourself appear as a member of another race, 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. Your clothing and other equipment don’t change in appearance, size, or shape to match your new form, requiring you to keep a few extra outfits on hand to make the most compelling disguise possible.

Even to the most astute observers, your ruse is usually indiscernible. If you rouse suspicion, or if a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.

This cannot be used whilst wildshaping as a druid.

Unsettling Visage: When a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. You must use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses.

Using this trait reveals your shapeshifting nature to any creature within 30 feet that can see you. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Divergent Persona: You can proficiency with one tool of your choice. Define a persona associated with that proficiency: establish the name, race, gender, age, and other details. While you are in the form of this persona, the related proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses the proficiency.

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

• Mind Over Matter: Once per long rest you can summon the help of your Shaman and ask for advice by completing a ritual that takes 1 minute. The shaman’s answer takes into account the code of honor/the tribe/the clan or family priorities in that order. The shaman is wise but not all knowing.

• Strength Absolute: Allows you to siphon the power of your friends to help you in battle, adding a +1 (attacks, ability checks, saves) for every ally in a 20 ft. circle around you up to a maximum of your proficiency modifier (similar abilities do not stack). This ability can be used twice a day, recharging at dawn.

Ancestors’ Wrath/Guidance: Your backstory determines whether you gain either Ancestors’ Wrath or Ancestors’ Guidance. You can use these abilities a number of times per long rest that are determined by your level.

• Ancestors’ Wrath: You can make your next attack a critical (roll for the attack, if it does not hit the ability is used up). This crit only affects the base weapon/spell dice damage. ie - does not double any additional dice, including sneak attack, divine smite, and hex.   

• Ancestors’ Guidance: Once per turn you can boost a stat up to 20 until the end of your next turn.

Level 1 - 9: 1 Charge.

Level 10 - 19: 2 Charges.

Lineage Strength: The story behind your family’s history determined these following bonuses (You cannot take a background as a Cytherian). You gain 4 skill or tool proficiencies. 

Cytherian Curse: They have disadvantage with any magical item or spell attack. You cannot use Ancestors’ Wrath or Ancestors’ Guidance while using a magical item. When you’d regain hitpoints through a spell or any other magical effects, you instead gain half the amount (rounded down). Any spell or magical ability that would be considered a buff (ie Bless, Aid, speak with Plants, etc) has no effect on you. Effects created by tech machines and soulbinds are not affected by this curse. There are no known means of removing this curse.

General info:

The Cytherians are known for their crafting skills are given a forge, iron, gunpowder and tools. They can craft bullets for any gun besides Heavy Weapons.
 

The Cytherians have a code of honor that they live by:

• Clan above everything

• Worship the land and nothing else do not fall prey as our ancestors did to the fascination of power.

• A man and his lover are a covenant than cannot be broken, a man’s child is his pride, a woman’s daughter is her life. Fear the Allakar (the outsider, the one who comes to take)

These may vary on the nature of the clan and the nature of the tribe. Every clan belongs to a tribe and every tribe is ruled by an Old Watcher and an Ancestral Shaman.

The Old Watchers are entrusted with the future of their people since there are few tribes of Cytherians left in the world. They are the ones who make sure they survive and reach their goal of once again freeing their home. The Watchers have a special ability that allows them to share the power of their tribe, the stronger the tribe the stronger the watcher. The more people in the tribe, the more determined and powerful watcher is.

The Ancestral shamans are Seers, they can see in the future briefly when the matters concern the tribe and their Watchers. The Shamans are asexual beings with barely any facial features. They appear in the tribe as if from nowhere saying that Miriam sent them to help. Nobody knows who Miriam is but she is also referred to through a more loving nickname as “Mother”.

  • When you're using this trait to speak telepathically to a creature, you can use your action to give that creature the ability to speak telepathically with you for 1 hour or until you end this effect as an action.
