I think I'll pick the changeling class, but I saw it's permanent, so I'm weighing my options. I have a couple of questions about the changeling class that would really affect my choice.

 

First, how much more damage do changelings take than other classes? I heard Colonizations is in Hard mode, and I'm not that good at fighting. (But for Pony, I can learn.)

 

Second, I saw that changelings can shoot webs. I do a lot of fishing on my own server that I admin on, and I was wondering if I could effectively make my own string as a changeling. That would be a handy ability to have (Fish is meat, right?), as well as making me useful where bow making is concerned. I want my friend who has picked the pegasus to use bows made with my string.

 

If the answer to the first is "Not that much more" and the second, "Yes", then I think I've made up my mind.

 

Also, I don't know what a changeling would be named. I know Chrysalis has a name, but she's royalty. My changeling's backstory shows him as a common changeling, and a bit of a goof-up at that. I was thinking a Greek letter followed by a number or two. I was planning to join an Earth Pony farm as a harvester/go-fer and have them give me a proper name.

Changelings take double damage then other classes, and no if you are found harvesting your own string i think thats cheating, becouse it is called duping, and i dont think you can normally

Alright, let's go through these one by one:

 

"How much more damage do changelings take than other classes?"

The same amount as other flight classes, 50% more damage. A good time ago, back when disguises fooled mobs an additional 30% was to be applied, but due to some bug (Resulting in any damage taken being scaled to infinite amounts) this was changed to 0%. So in total, 50% more damage, while flying. There seems to be no damage modification at all if you remain on the ground.

 

"I was wondering if I could effectively make my own string as a changeling."

Yes, yes you can. However, this is a side-effect of being able to shoot web and it's not intended to be used this way. I'd suggest you kill spiders instead; they die easily.

 

"Fish is meat, right?"

Absolutely. It's a very, very simple way to survive if you find yourself stranded near water with no mobs nearby.

 

As for how to name your character, that's entirely up to you. Among the changelings on Col, some go with various names, others prefer a rank instead. Cypress, Senyx and Worker122 (I think?) are some names that are used for characters on the server.
