An issue with changelings as regards RP1 that has often been brought up is the lethality of most of its abilities. One of the most offensive of these is the neurotoxin sting, which will not only knock the victim thoroughly unconscious, but also deal 50 toxin damage and significant brain damage. Because of this, it's significantly damaging to the victim even if the changeling doesn't absorb them, which limits its use for any non-violent scenarios.
I'd like to propose a change which I hope will make the sting more versatile for general RP purposes: instead of 50u of neurotoxin, let it inject capulettium - 10-20u, perhaps. That amount of capulettium is enough to knock people out for the ling to absorb them if desired, but also little enough not to keep them out of the round for an extended period. It's also totally non-lethal and has the side affect of making people appear like they've just dropped dead, only to rise up a moment later.
Of course, I'd say this is a change best kept to RP1 if possible, because it does have the side effect of changing the balance of changelings. Capulettium works faster and has different counters. Still, that should be fine on RP1.
