Replace the Changeling's Hallucinogenic Sting

Yeah but the cost he's proposing for it is crazy high

Like yeah, frame an asshole for something, but at the cost of an entire dude of DNA? If you're in a situation where you can frame someone and potentially get away with it, you can also, you know, eat them. Which is far more useful. Plus you can no longer disguise yourself as that person, meaning that in order to use it correctly you need to first: Get caught doing Changeling Stuff as Joe Blow, and successfully escape security and the frothing lynch mob that forms in order to even be in a situation in which it could be useful. Then you need to jump a dude who is by himself and, instead of eating that dude and turning into him in order to completely clear your suspicions, instead frame that dude and hope he both A: Fails to convince security that he is not a changeling(which he could probably do just by surrendering peacefully and submitting himself to the test since people will know this ability exists) AND B: Successfully evades/fights off security for a significant period of time. You also have to change into yet another identity and successfully make your escape, while your victim is either screaming bloody murder about being attacked by changelings or drooling in a brain-damaged heap(meaning he's either clear of suspicion or if security is stupid immediately killed, buying you no time whatsoever).

And it costs a shitload of points.
