Some Ling Balance Thoughts
#2
1: Headspiders are a reward for not abusing your DNA points. I don't know the exact cost for one.. but in my opinion it should be 5.
But since most lings get burned almost ASAP anyway when caught on classic... having it be free on classic should be A-okay.

2: Buttcrabs are silly gimmicks but not worthless, Handspiders aren't ment to defend you, but to gather DNA passively before rejoining with you.
Eye critters are free and the most effective critters as they can make enemies slip and explode onto your enemies doing damage.
Leg critters are basicly mini wrestlers that can break doors and kick enemies away... but they are my least favorite critter since they can't go through doors like critters.. making them die the fastest and targeted the earliest.
I don't say buff em.... more give em something else.
Like have em able to assume critter forms as well when given extra DNA or... when eating other critters.
Giving janitor's pest control more reason to be used?

3. If you activate this one without an abomination arm.. you will be woefully destroyed. The point of the shambler is making killing easier and taking on groups, but.. NOT LARGE GROUPS. Even in the movie it's based off.. this form isn't used to devour 6+ people.. but more like 3.
The shambler is ment to be used to in a panic as you lose the abillity to run as one. I recommend only activating this if you have an abomination arm active as well as it will GREATLY increase your battle capabilities.....
Grab people with one arm and eat them, smack people away with the other arm (wich is abom). Keeping them away and doing massive damage. Using yell to disarm gunners and the like.
If you Shambler with only 3... keeping two enemies downed while eating one and picking up the next isn't as hard.
But when you go past 3 it becomes significantly harder..

Remember one thing of the changeling... they are suppose to be stealthy, ever changing, causing a panic, taking new forms to avoid detection and more.
They aren't ment to go to direct combat unless ABSOLUTELY nesssarcy.
I am fine with a headspider change or decrease in DNA, since I barely see these as it is.
I am fine with a change to limb critters rather then a buff. If they gonna be critters... make em use forms of critters to do their job then "Crawling hand reveals changeling and if killed gives idenity of changeling away" If it does give the idenity away... then just make em turn into rats and such then scanning them will reveal it.
I am not okay with changing the shambler... That thing can be crazy powerfull with the right tools, but if you think it should be fighting 6+ players you are SOURLY mistaken. Maybe if you could "upgrade it" with DNA points.. wich you can with abom or claw arm... I say DO NOT USE THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WITH A SMALL GROUP!
