Notes

• Prior to patch 5, Mindreader's disadvantage appeared as " Disadvantage Difficulty: Tactician" when targeting a doppelganger with a ranged attack.
• Doppelgangers can be spotted by examining a creature, as their race and features are shown in the inspector window.
• When shapeshifted ( not in true form ), the passive  Cull the Weak does not trigger on the doppelganger.
• If  Astarion is first in the party to kill a doppelganger, he may remark with haughty incredulity, "A shapeshifer? You can't trust anyone!"
