Sure, its stings are dangerous and if it's caught you alone in maint you're done for. But if the ling can't reliably lure people away via RPing (assuming you can ever get someone to play along with that) or somehow abduct them while there's nobody watching (i.e. rarely if ever between the AI and cameras). it's still reduced to pseudo-extended due to the fact that its one main advantage (regenerative stasis) will be rendered irrelevant since the second someone knows you're a ling they'll destroy your body right away. \r\n\r\nThus, I would like to either port more aggressive powers from other servers or make some of my own. The arm blade from TG is the most obvious of these, since it's robust and solves the problem of \"how am I going to kill these people when I don't have enough evolution points for death sting and lack good opportunities to kill stealthily?\"\r\n\r\nOther things we could consider is having the Extend Range power actually make the stings act like projectiles, or a bio-gun akin to the Hivehand capable of dealing toxin damage at the expense of not being able to use that limb and requiring chemicals to maintain it. The important thing is that they should act in a manner akin to buying a revolver as a traitor might function and make Changeling be more like the Thing as opposed to a parapen-toting maint stalker that rarely does much genuine antagonizing.
