Should shambling abominations be allowed to speak freely? - Panga Langa - 02-27-2022

As the title suggests, i have noticed that despite being able to speak while in abomination form, changelings are restricted to a very limited phrase wich is "we are as one" (or something similar) regardless of what you input.

So i would like to know the community's thoughts about the idea of being able to speak freely while in abomination form. I personally think this would greatly improve the RP aspect of such a climatic event for all players involved.

Also, i apologise for any grammar mistake.

let all hivemind members BUT the hivemaster speak freely :smile:

This is the correct solution.

edit: they have to have their own names while speaking of course

As long as hivemind gets to scream constantly I'm cool with that

It should have a custom accent that pluralizes relevant pronouns to "we". So not, "I am going to kill you", but "We are going to kill you."

I actually really like that idea, all the consumed souls free to scream once more. Plus the more kills a ling has gotten the louder it's going to be, making it terrifyingly obvious when the ling that just went horror form has actually eaten half the crew.
