Special Qualities

Detect Thoughts (Su)

A doppelganger can continuously use Detect Thoughts as the spell (caster level 18th; Will DC 12+Cha mod negates). It can suppress or resume this ability as a free action. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Change Shape (Su)

A doppelganger can assume the shape of any Small or Medium humanoid. In humanoid form, the doppelganger loses its natural attacks. A doppelganger can remain in its humanoid form until it chooses to assume a new one. A change in form cannot be dispelled, but a doppelganger reverts to its natural form when killed. A True Seeing spell or ability reveals its natural form.
