Complete Guide: Doppelgangers (3.5e)
Doppelgangers have spawned hundreds of rumors and stories. What adventurer doesn't have a tale about the time he fought a doppelganger assassin¸ stopped one from impersonating the duke¸ or was surprised by a doppelganger disguised as his friend? But these accounts leave many questions unanswered. What do doppelgangers do when they aren't assassinating or impersonating people? Why do they work for humans - and how do prospective employers find them¸ anyway? Are there doppelganger communities?
Written by Eberron creator Keith Baker¸ this 3.5-edition book examines the psychology and motivations of these mysterious creatures. It looks at the lifecycle of the doppelganger¸ and reveals the existence of biological variations of the creature. For the fact of the matter is that there are doppelgangers all around -- they are far more common than people believe.
The Complete Guide to Doppelgangers is a stand-alone¸ world-neutral sourcebook covering everything you ever wanted to know about doppelgangers. This edition has been updated to the 3.5 rules set.
