Changeling

So, these things suck people dry of their DNA or, in recent cases, don't. They just sting them, like a wasp that doesn't hurt. So, my thoughts were we should re-evaluate changeling and look at it in a RPish kind of way.
Changelings are aliem creatures that can take the DNA of any and all creatures, it would make sense that in changeling culture. That there would be different broods/hiveminds/families/cults of changelings, some would be put towards more deception and stealth, others towards straight up combat. So, in the evolution menu instead of getting your 5 points that you spend on each individual sting you would choose a bundle worth 4 of those points leaving you an extra point to get yourself whatever sting you want along with the bundle. Absorbing people should be encouraged, I know it's shitty to have your miner bro turn on you and be out of the round forever, but death is what makes the round go on. Anyway, back to the bundled stings. Choosing a strain/sting bundle depends on your objectives, combat oriented changelings that have Para+Arm Blade+Whatever else would be in that package would have much much higher risk objectives like assassinating multiple people.
So, whaddya think?
