CHANGELING (fey subclass) ------------------------------------------------------------ Changelings are the incarnation of Nature and Magic. Changelings are the incarnation of Nature's Rage at the "higher" races that have abused and the bounty of the world. Born from the Quintessence, the prime spring of all life and magic, the Changeling begins to grow, and learn to mimic the blessed forms of Nature. Each form is powered by the Quintessence flow, and Nature's blessing. But, maintaining the shape drains the Changeling of its natural life, so the Changelings existance is one of constant balancing their forms with their souls need for replenishment. Due to their special Nature, Changelings gain experience at a rate that is highly dependant on their piety, or closeness to the Mother which gave them life. A Changeling can easily expect to earn only 1/2 the exp another character will earn until nearly Hero level. At best, a Changeling can earn 1:1 exp for an equal level player. For years, Tsunami has been rocked and scarred by the constant battling of so-called "intelligent" species. The higher animals have strayed from Nature, and turned to tools, and other instruments of destruction, and have in turn, raped the Mother from which they were born. In Her rage, the Mother gave birth to her final creation, the Changeling, drawn from the mystical field of life and energy from whence magic comes, these avatars of Nature's rage were born to combat the desecrators. The Changelings live for no other reason than to destroy their elder, "intelligent" brothers, and return the World to its once pristine state of harmony. Changelings recieve all terrain bonuses of the fey race. See 'help piety' for more information.
