Do medium sized monsterous humanoids count? I assume they don't get any special abilities the new form would have they just look like them. I want a recurring villain to be able to change himself to look like a Yuan-Ti pureblood, or even a half blood without the special abilities the two monsters have. I know as a DM I can just make that call but one of my players might in the future want to play a doppelganger and I don't want that issue to come up. Should I increase the CR for the monster that can do that? Am I missing maybe another natural shape changer? I don't want the change shape ability to be dispelled at all. Anyway, thanks,
