The changeling's hallucinogenic sting is pretty much worthless. I propose replacing it with a new sting:
DNA Sting
Cost: 10 DNA points, one absorbed crewmember identity
Prepare this sting by selecting one of the victims you've absorbed from a list, like when you use the Transform verb. After this, your sting is ready to use. You may swap whichever identity you've selected at any time until you use the sting.
When you sting a crewmember with this sting, you're essentially injecting them with stable mutagen that will turn them into the crewmember you selected after a few seconds.
This sting would play more to the changeling's ability to trick the crew and induce paranoia. Combine with mimic voice for best effects. Of course, something this powerful comes with a downside: you essentially lose one absorption, which gives you fewer options for transforming later. If possible this should also affect the victim count for the purposes of objectives, requiring you to absorb one more person in order to make up for the one you've used if you want to fulfill your objective.
