• Bonus Languages: Auran, Dwarven, Elven, Giant, Gnome, Halfling, and Terran.

Minor Change Shape (Su): Changelings have the supernatural ability to alter their appearance as though using a disguise self spell that affects their bodies but not their possessions. This is not an illusory effect but a minor physical alteration of a changeling's facial features, skin color and texture, and size, within the limits described for the spell. A changeling can use this ability at will, and the alteration lasts until she changes shape again. A changeling reverts to her natural form when killed. A true seeing spell reveals her natural form. Using this ability is a full-round action.

Skills: *When using its minor change shape ability, a changeling gets a +10 circumstance bonus on Disguise checks.
