===Combat===

When in its natural form, a doppelganger strikes with its powerful fists. In the shape of a warrior or some other armed person, it attacks with whatever weapon is appropriate. In such cases, it uses its [[SRD:Detect Thoughts|detect thoughts]] ability to employ the same tactics and strategies as the person it is impersonating.
