Doppelganger [AD&D]

Description

These bipedal creatures are of mutable form so that they are able to shape themselves into the likeness of any humanoid creature of from 1.2 meters to 2.4 meters tall which they observe. Each doppelganger has its own motivations.  Some will attempt to do away with the person it is mimicking; others may attempt to ally with the victim so as to further their own ends. Doppelgangers are able to use Human Empathy to imitate its target with 90 percent (1D20 1-18) accuracy.

Note: A doppelganger actually forms itself into the likeness of the clothing and equipment of the imitated creature as well as the physical features thereof.
