Doppleganger voices

[zoewolverine]

This isn't explicitly written anywhere in the Bestiary entry for "Doppleganger," or in the spell description for "Alter Self," so I just want to confirm for sure: When a doppleganger mimics an individual, can they also mimic their voice?

[Ipslore the Red]

A voice's qualities are dependent on vocal cords, which are part of the body. A doppelganger changes its physical body, including vocal cords, to match the target's, and alter self is transmutation, so yes.

It should be noted that alter self won't let you mimic a specific individual of a creature type. You need some kitsune racial feats to do that, as I recall.

Cool, thanks!
