Changeling Egg-Laying

[New525]

I'm not sure how I feel about these ideas. I like freaky alien antagonists, don't get me wrong, but this feels like way too much to shove into the changeling. The changeling is less Alien and more The Thing, it's more about paranoia about who you can trust.

Then again, making an entirely new antagonist with this sort of stuff might be a little too much. Hrm.

if you want to play your ling as The Thing there should be evolutionary paths that let you do that. just as a traitor can be a stealthy assassin. but why not experiment with building on the ling with new evolutionary paths that enable new playstyles? just as a traitor can be a mindslaver mastermind, or rampaging terrorist

so instead of adding new antags we give the current ones unique skill trees and upgrades that cater to different playstyles. There are some very interesting ideas that could be spawned from this.
