Adaptor
by John Walter BilesAdaptors are natural shapeshifters who travel the planes, studying everything around them but only sharing their knowledge with each other. They cannot take on the form of a specific person like a doppelganger, but can become humans, elves, tieflings, etc, etc.

The Adaptor may shift up to 2 squares, make a Longsword attack, shift 2 squares and make a second Longsword attack, then shift 2 squares. This ends his turn like a charge attack does.
Adaptor Resistance (immediate reaction, 2/Encounter)
Adaptors begin with no Resist at all, but when damaged by an attack with a damage tag (Fire, Cold, etc) they can choose to gain Resistance 10 against that attack form for the rest of the encounter. They can swap over to a different Resistance if hit by a second form, but they lose the first. This second one then lasts until the end instead.
Change Shape (minor; at-will) | Polymorph
An Adaptor can alter its physical form to take on the appearance of any Medium humanoid species, but not specific individuals. (see Change Shape, MM page 280).
