Shapeshifting
The most unique part of playing as a changeling is the ability to transform into other creatures. Changelings can only polymorph into monsters on their list of known forms. Any time that the player chats with a monster, that monster is added to their list of known forms.
Upon controlled polymorphing, a changeling is presented with a list of known forms. The changeling may only polymorph into one of these known forms. Should they do so, their knowledge of that form fades, and they will have to talk to that type of monster again in order to be able to polymorph into it again.
Changelings are able to polymorph into any creature on their list of known forms, regardless of whether that creature is considered a valid polymorph form for other races.
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.
- Alternate Form: Allows the changeling to instantly polymorph.
