Note: The Changeling Metamorph appeared in Rifter #10, and became property of Palladium. As such, it is no longer available on-line.  However, I'm providing something of a preview of the ideas of the class here, to whet your appetite; I hope to include the Changeling Metamorph in a future Palladium project.

Changeling Metamorph P\RCC
Some changelings, especially the young of Noah's Paradise (Palladium FRPG VI, Island at the Edge of the World), have become fascinated with their abilities, both psionic and physical, pushing these to their limits. They learned, through practice, the true grandeur of being a changeling, overcoming their bodies with their minds.

Changeling metamorphs are capable of great feats of transformation, able to control themselves in a far finer fashion than any other changeling.  While they are restricted by the same broad restrictions of other changelings (must be between three and ten feet tall, possessing the same number of limbs), they are able to make minute changes that other changelings find beyond their capabilities.  Through intense focus and study, they can grant themselves nightvision or sturdy claws, thick armor or glider-membranes; gill-slits or even anaerobic respiration.  They've mastered their own minds and use psychic powers to temporarily overcome the weaknesses of being changelings, making their detection as whatever they masquerade as nearly impossible.  However, their superior skills of metamorphisis means that they are more likely than other changelings to change shape when useful, rather than simply necessary, so they expose themselves to further danger.
