Staff of Change clarifications request

Okay, so, in the chance one gets involuntarily SoC'd into say, a xeno, lawless borg, lawless syndieborg, freedrone, or syndiedrone, is one antag?

[Dax Dupont]

I think it's pretty important to have a clear ruling on this. Most people use this to go full antag.

If you get involuntarily changed, you are free to act as the monster would (antag) because the point of the wizard using this power is to spread chaos

If you got voluntarily changed, you have to act as your role was prior (not antag) because self antagging is against the rules.

There should probably be some sort of in-game message for this, or at least an entry on the rules page.

[Qbopper]

the amount of questions I see about people being transformed by different things is surprisingly large

they're also always the question "so am i antag now"

This is a good idea and I'll see what I can do.
