OGL substitutes for changelings, shifters and warforged

The changelings, shifters and warforged are races from the Eberron campaign setting that proved quite popular. However, they are not open game content and thus 3pp cannot reference them. Not to worry, there are substitutes under the OGL out there.

It was quite easy to find substitutes for the warforged. For whatever reason, there are many construct races out there. There are too many to list here, so you’ll probably need to search on your own until you find one you like.

I could only find one substitute for the changeling: the doppel race from the Dragonstar campaign setting. Their backstory and traits are essentially identical. Doppels are the descendants  of humans and doppelganger, displaying limited shapeshifting suitable for disguise as a result.

I could only find a couple substitutes for the shifter: the wereblooded race in the Bite Me! supplements by Misfit Studios and the skinwalker race in the Blood of the Moon supplement by Paizo. Their backstory and traits are essentially identical. Skinwalkers and wereblooded are the descendants of humans and lycanthropes, displaying limited shapeshifting into partial animal features as a result.

Obvious these are written for specific rulesets, but they should serve well enough as inspiration.
