What is Truesight in DND?

A creature with truesight can, out to a specific range, see in normal and magical darkness, see invisible creatures and objects, automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on saving throws against them, and perceives the original form of a shapechanger or a creature that is transformed by magic.

Can you see the true form of a shape shifter?

That may change if eberron gets an update (technically it is still in playtest). I would say anything like true sight, true seeing, or that lets you see the true form of shape shifters. In 3.5, they were considered shapechangers, and the rules for their disguise specifically called out that truesight could see their natural form.

What happens when you transform into a shapechange creature?

You can only speak if the creature can normally speak. When you transform, you choose whether your Equipment falls to the ground, merges into the new form, or is worn by it. Worn Equipment functions as normal. The DM determines whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of Equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size.
