Male Changelings?

[RockTheGolem]

I've played a campaign in which my male character was turned into a female, as a secondary result of walking through a strange portal. From that point onward, I had to play knowing my character's sex was not the same.

Recently I've been looking at some of the other races characters can play, and I came across the Changeling. The description says that they HAVE to be female.

My question is: what would happen to a female Changeling if it were to be magically turned in a male?

When WotC did a race that was the children of hags, they were the all-male hagspawn, in Unapproachable East, a Forgotten Realms source book. They were ECL +2 Monstrous Humanoids with SR 11+ CL. Might take a look at that book if you have a copy, just for inspiration.

permanent chage??

well if so, whatever said father of changeling was, would take that race as its race and take teh hag sorcerous bloodlines feat for free

Are you simply looking to be immune to gender change?

I don't think that's what he said at all, Blackblood. He didn't ask if it was possible, he asked what would happen.
My guess? You'll have just created a freak of nature.

You'd just have a male changeling. If we're going strictly by the rules, the only gender restriction on changelings is that they have to be born female*. After that, all bets are off.

*Personally I'd be open to the idea of non-female changelings, but if we're talking about "by the book"...

That's what I kinda figured, but I wasn't sure if it was something where they might lose some of their racial abilities, like their Hag Traits for example. I suppose it would vary depending on the DM you're playing for, but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a rule I was missing or anything.

Thank you!
