Really not a fan of this change, but more so in regards to the rp servers. The ability to eat npcs to unlock specific powers that you can use for rp, without killing and taking actual players out in the process, ESPECIALLY for changelings (where you get no points without fully consuming, with no way to bring that person back unless they were prescanned) imo limits rp potential with some nonhuman antags without forcing them to kill. Personally don't like the idea of half assing an rp kill just to get enough points to do the gimmick planned
As a balance change I get it, rushing diner for npcs and points was meta. Geneticist farming monkey humans, takes little effort. I know devs don't want mechanical differences between rp and classic, but the nerf really just mildly inconvenienced classic players and made attacking others the only means on rp if you want to do basically anything with your powers, which seems kind of not great. I can already hear the "antags should be killing anyway" from a mile away, I realize that murder drives the round, but honestly, building a more interesting plot with your status should be prioritized over your means of doing it
(yes this is mainly a post about lings)
