New page

All words that appear in '''bold''' have in-game files which can be accessed by typing “info <topic>” once you’ve joined the guild.

=About the guild=

The Changeling guild is based around adopting the '''forms''' of various animals to fight in. Forms come in various temperaments: Some are tough and can shrug off blows, others are agile and dodge them, others are aggressive and can focus on inflicting damage. There's an entire '''biome''' tucked away in the Changeling '''pool''' for you to search out and discover the forms that suit your playstyle.

Changelings rely on their '''intrinsic''' abilities, '''skills''', and their animal forms over armor and weapons.

=Location=

The Changeling pool is located in Pinnacle near the entrance to Chaos. (<tt>cot,n,w,n,n,e,n,w,enter</tt>)

=Quick start guide=
* '''com''': chat on the guild line
* '''info''': access the guild help files
* '''skills''': shows you the skills you can raise. As you raise your skills, your '''complexity''' (guild level) increases
* '''intrinsics''': lists the powers that a Changeling will always have (regardless of current form) and the required skills to use them.
* '''lore''': gives you information about an enemy
* '''absorb''': takes the materials from a corpse to replenish '''stamina''' and '''protoplasm.'''
* '''bioextract''': (you'll learn this after raising a few skills) creates a '''bioplast''' from a corpse which stores some stamina and protoplasm to use later. Bioplasts can be shared among Changelings and there is a place in the guild (down from entrance) where you can borrow bioplasts or donate your excess.
* '''morph''' <form>: Shift to another known form. <tt>morph</tt> alone will consume protoplasm to heal your current form.
* '''powers''': list various other powers that Changelings have

You'll start with two forms: your original '''human''' form as well as your new native '''slime''' form. Both of these forms are always available to you and do not cost '''form points''' to advance. Your human form is handy if you need to wear armor or wield weapons for a quest. While being able to wear armor is a perk of your human form and you're not penalized for it, wielding a weapon in combat will mean you will not make any progress towards your form familiarity or Changeling skills.

To really experience life as a Changeling, you'll want to seek out the Changeling '''biome''' inside the '''pool'''. You'll find it along the top of the pool. Once in the biome you can examine the various animals to see their attributes. When you find one that appeals to you, you can study it to learn how to take its form. While the creatures in the biome are somewhat tame, be a bit careful because they can kill you if you're very low-level. Check the shop for bioplasts or ask on the guild line to get some. Then it's time to go out into the world and kill things. The '''newbie''' info file has some areas you can start out in.

= Tips =

* There's no "best" form. Working on your slime form has some benefits, so consider this in addition to your animal forms. While you're in the biome, you'll need an a form capable of flight (like a bird or flying insect) to fully explore it.
* At first, since you're unfamiliar with your form, you will use fairly large amounts of stamina when you fight. As your form familiarly goes up, your stamina use will go down.
* <tt>morph</tt> by itself will use protoplasm to heal your current form. Using '''perform''' to morph every round is a good idea.
* '''bioluminesce''' will use a small bit of stamina to generate light.
* The info files are pretty expansive and it's definitely worth taking the time to read them.
* If you're in an avian form, you won't be able to "get" anything. You'll need to use '''swoop'''.
* Changeling's prime stat constitution, so keep this high. The priority of the other stats is spelled out in ''rcost'''.
