			The changeling ability allows them to memorize and copy the form of other creatures to assume that form. When changed, a changeling appears as a normal member of that form, indistinguishable from a normal member of that race. However, the copy is not a precise copy of the person memorized - the changeling will have similar features to the person copied, but couldn't pass as that person to someone who knew them well.

	==== Change Detection ====		==== Change Detection ====
	Other characters near a changeling manifesting their power automatically make a Spellcraft check. If the check is successful, they are told that the changeling changed forms. This is the ONLY sure method of changeling detection. A character visually witnessing a form change -- but failing their [[NWN:Spellcraft\|Spellcraft]] roll -- may assume they have seen a changeling, but cannot be sure. ~~Changelings have no special ability to detect other changelings.~~ It is always cheesing to use the 'floaty name' to "Out" a changeling. It is also cheesing for the changeling to abuse area transitions to change forms to evade pursuit.<br>
