[RPG] Are UA Changelings immune to the Polymorph spell

dnd-5epolymorphshapeshifterspellsunearthed-arcana

The Polymorph spell says:

This spell transforms a creature that you can see within range into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid the effect. The spell has no effect on a shapechanger or a creature with 0 hit points.

Changelings (from the original version of Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron, as they appear in UA: Eberron Races), which are similar to doppelgangers, are able to change appearance, but don't seem to be explicitly shapechangers.

Are UA changelings actual shapechangers and therefore immune to Polymorph?

Best Answer

No, they are not shapeshifters

Changelings can only change their general appearance, they can't completely change their form. No matter what form they take with their powers they are always a humanoid. They lack the shapeshifter descriptor which would be the main indicator.
