Doppelkinder (3.5e Race)

Doppelkinders

Personality

Doppelkinder are the descendants of Doppelgangers with resurgent genes within the human race. They share many of the traits of Doppelgangers, but little of their innate power.

Physical Description

Doppelkinder are creatures that look like humans, but they have a dullness, a plainness to them that is seldom matched by ordinary humans. It's rare someone who has a casual encounter with a Doppelkinder is able to recall anything specific about their appearance. Just another ghost in the crowd.

Relations

Doppelkinders blend into wherever they place themselves, assuming that they assume the form of the locals.

Alignment

There are lawful Doppelkinder, but they tend towards chaos. Doing what serves the moment.

Lands

Doppelkinder live everywhere that people do, from remote villages to urban cities.

Religion

While Doppelkinder have no deities of their own, they can worship any deity depending in personal situation.

Language

Doppelkinder speak common and any languages they may have learned. There is no special Doppelkinder language.

Names

A Doppelkinder name depends on the culture he was born in, but those who embrace their shapeshifting ability tend to treat names like clothing, never bonding to any one in particular.
