it still is. Its why my monk bought a gem of transmuthingy. Free rezzes during mhaldor conflicts.

You can't do it here.

Changing your race could cost 10 power instead of once per month rule. And it wouldn't heal then.

No. That's a terrible idea. You spend THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS on a text based game, and you want it to use Power? Let me guess, you don't own a cameo.

Changelings should be able to shapeshift any time they want, as long as they have eq and bal. This brings images from some random movie, I can't remember, of a shapeshifter leaping into the air, and before he hits the ground he's changed like three times.

No as well to the "he is a __ assuming the form of a __." If you haev a cameo, your race is a changeling. You are essentially a blob.

Lastly, it irritates me when people say, omg, did so and so get a cameo??? No. They've always been a changeling, and we just now found out. A cameo doesn't -make- you a changeling, it -marks- you as one.

Worst idea ever. I'm sorry, but you do know that changing from one race to another will boost your maxhealth and mana to full right, in addition to providing a greater health or mana sip depending on the new health and mana? Look, I'm 1 health away from dying, wait, lemme use my cameo, back to full health again!

Once a day, 10 power sounds about right to me. Boosting my con costs me 3 power, completely changing your race shouldn't be the easiest of things.

We go back to the 300 dollars. Should be allowed to do pretty much anything feasible with it.

So how is being able to change race as many times and as often as you wish feasible? If I spent 300 dollars on all my guild skills, should I be able to kill anyone I want with them?

He meant the daily thing.

If changing kept you at the same health/mana/ego totals, and cost a goodly bit of eq (10 seconds, maybe?), sure, have them able to do it whenever they want. I don't think you're meant to be able to change in the middle of a fight.

I didn't say that it should make you regen every time, I said you should be able to change whenever. Let's say you have a max hp of 1000, and you changerace, making your max hp 2000. You had 500 health to start.

It can be done one of two ways. Make it so that your health doesn't fully regen, but it goes up by the same percentage, you'd go from 500/1000 to 1000/2000. You'd still be fifty percent dead.

The second, is to make it so that when you change your hp is still 500/2000.

Sorry, but changing race should never make you regain all hp back.

Animorphs... they used to be able to change as much as they wanted, as long as they didn't remain for more than two hours in a morph shape or else they would remain is said shape forever, right?

Changelings should have something similar, change to whatever race they want, but if they stay in as a race for more than three Lusternian years, they would end up staying as that race for the remaining of the year.

That wouldn't...really...affect anything.

Or, really, have anything to do with it. They're changelings, not animorphs.

Agreed Shiri, pwned.

I think some people should go look up changelings, or watch some DS9. *duck*

Animorphs, morphs, it's the same, at least how the changeling cocenpt is being handled in here. Meh, I just offered an alternative that would allow changelings to change as much as they want, and if the time they had to keep a form were less (less than the three days I listed above, maybe two days would be fine) then maybe that would force a changeling to constantly keep changing or keep a form they feel suited with for a year. Not bad, imo.

Yeah, we're going to make it so that you can change all the time, but if you stop changing, you lose $300 worth of loot.

Good idea! Implement it!

Here's the best way: Remove health regen from when you change, and make it so that you can change as many times as you want, keeping the same ratio of current/max health that you had before the change.

Edit: Kay, I might have read the above post wrong. But still, implement -my- idea!

Lose 300$? Not at all. It's not like everyone changes race constantly after shapeshifting anyway. You would only stop being able to change form for a year, if you spent more than 2-3 days in a single form... A form of your convinience. You want to be a tanky dwarf? Then stay as a tanky dwarf for a year. You wish to be a mutant and shapeshift at all time... do it. *shrug*

Edit: Basically you could shapeshift, infinite times in a row forever or stay in one form, then shapeshift into another... Taking into account that if you stay in that form for more than 2-3 days, you will be cursed with staying on that form for the remaining of the year. New year comes, your shapeshifting powers are back to shapeshift x1k as long as you wish....

I think it's the changing in combat that's the problem.

Maybe have it have a 20 second windup, then you can do it once a day. Simplish.

10 power, current health/mana/ego levels stay the same. Kills combat use, but you can use it as often as you want. I think the only reason they kept at once a month is a holdover from Achaea, as a way to both balance it and represent how taxing it is to change your form. However, Lusternia has the power system for things like that, and it makes sense to use it.

Seriously, get over the fact that because you paid $300 for something you should be able to change the way it works. You know fully well how the artifact worked before you chose to buy it. Stop using that as an excuse and learn from the Mages that asked Scepters to work when they're worn, not keep stating I paid 1600 credits for this, I demand that it works the way I want to.
