	The changeling [[Lineage#~~Boons~~\|boon]] is a potent rage that comes to the fore when an outside force attempts to make them afraid or uncertain. Any changeling who is exposed to a [[roleplaying effect]] that creates fear or doubt can respond by becoming angry instead. For example, a changeling exposed to a [[Druj miasma]] may become furious rather than succumbing to dread and uncertainty. As long as they remain angry, the other negative effects of the Druj's unique atmosphere of oppression have no effect on them. Likewise, they can endure any [[curse]] or similar effect that causes them to become afraid, or to doubt their abilities, by raging against the circumstances that have caused them to experience such an effect.

	Changelings prefer roles where they can take the lead or stand out. They are especially appropriate to military and political leaders, but they also make great champions and representatives for groups. Bands of changelings work well, they can regard themselves as amongst their peers and be confident of the group's abilities as a result.
