skinchanger alien

Post by Siserith Vassada » 03 Jan 2016, 02:40

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):an xeno class that can cut off human skins and wear them to sneak into the marine ranks. cant hold anything or attack while in human form

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):???

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):it would be able to cut off human skins and wear them pretending to the the person to infiltrate marine ranks. could be a custom event or a normal xeno with a long jelly maturation period

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Make it a t2 runner evolution that ends there like the carrier. High melee damage slightly higher than a hunters and the same speed as one.

Fuckery is the nature of the Eldar. It is the core of their being. Every Eldar yearns to achieve ultimate dickishness in the art of fuckery. An Eldar may walk a thousand paths in their long lifetime, each one a new lesson in how to engage in fuckery. An Eldar that has not fucked in the affairs of others is incomplete, and broken. An Eldar would gladly sacrifice a dozen of its fellows, and billions of non-Eldar, just to experience the rush of dicking someone over with an act of sublime fuckery.

As much as I love the idea for RP value, would this uh, fit into the lore?

Don't think it should be very strong, since it's basically got infinite cloak. Slightly more health than a runner, maybe a grab-based kill attack like a Changeling's absorption?

PSSSST...... Wat.... One. There are no aliens like this. 2. TF2 spy rip off basicly. 3 They would not be able to blend in with rank due to the way aliens work to be honest considering they are a entirely different species that works off of bioweaponry basicly. Not man made weaponry. They would not know how to use the tech of marines off the bat like that either...

Interesting mechanic, but would not work with CM

this seems like something outta 4OK,dont get me wrong i like 40K but alien not only to be able to use human skin but also able to fit into marine armor/uniform,RIP Lore

Also if they are shoot accidentally wouldn't that mean they would bleed out acid and destroy the human skin? weird

-1 due to lack of lore basis and general balance issues with hunter stealth already available. necroing for more comments to end the discussion.

-1 No canon precedence. This would never evolve naturally from a Xenos egg.

A Weyland Yutani created abomination as a special event plot device? Sure.
