Shapeshifting
The most unique part of playing as a changeling is the ability to transform into other creatures. Any time that the player chats with a monster, they will receive a prompt to transform into that creature. Answering affirmatively will polymorph the player into that creature.
Transforming requires energy greater than or equal to the level of the monster that the player is attempting to transform into, and a successful transformation reduces the player's energy by the level of the monster, then divides it in two.
When in their natural form, changelings cannot passively regenerate hit points. As such, it is generally crucial for a changeling player to remain in a polymorph form whenever possible.
Iron Vulnerability
Like elves, changelings are vulnerable to iron, and will take damage when interacting with it.
Techniques
- Liquid Leap: Allows changelings to transform into acid and leap a short distance, passing through creatures and burning those in their path.
