CHANGELING (fey subclass) ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 existence is one of constant balancing their forms with their souls need for replenishment. Each form has to be nourished and practiced to the peak of perfection before it can be used for normal experience. In addition to character level restriction a previous form has to be raised to level 10 before new form can be learned. All forms can be separated into normal and prestige forms. Prestige forms are somewhat more powerful than normal forms. No form can be used in wars or for player killing. 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. As they are above the worldly wars of men, they do not participate on player-killing, nor wars. As a prestige class, changelings scorn the assistance of most wordly aids. Changelings receive all terrain bonuses of the fey race. See 'help piety' for more information. See 'help forms' for information on the different changeling forms. ------------------------------------------------------------ Changelings have the following skills: combat intimidate quickheal quintessence weaponry attacking awareness sword toughness resistance ------------------------------------------------------------ Changelings will learn the following normal forms at the indicated level: 1: fox 7: boar 14: tiger 4: turtle 10: mushroom 16: bear 5: bird 12: python 19: wyvern ------------------------------------------------------------ Changeling will learn the following prestige forms at the indicated level: 19+2: phoenix 19+4: balrog 19+6: custom ------------------------------------------------------------ Changeling stats: Strength : 100 Dexterity : 100 Intelligence : 100 Constitution : 100 ------------------------------------------------------------ Changelings have the following sight restrictions: Max Sight: 8 Min Sight: 0 ------------------------------------------------------------
