* <strike>The changeling's paralysis sting does not do anything to hulks, xenos, or slimes. However, the changeling's death sting still knocks them all out.
* Lings can ALWAYS sting unless they are unconscious, don’t have enough chemicals to sting, or are dead.
* You can sting monkeys with a transformation sting to get a fresh human with a random name that you can absorb. Free death sting for virologist lings!
ADDED: And scientists, with the bonus of spacing your monkeyhusks. Bonus points if you can get a grey slime farm going.
* I've been stung, pricked, and stunned all in view of other people and been dragged into maintenance while literally in the middle of a crowd and nobody bats an eye. And I've done the same to others. There's your game-changing thing for the day: people are fucking unobservant as hell. Unless you do something that actually shows up in the text, like hitting something, in which case everyone who was AFK and clueless will promptly read back in the chat, see that they missed something important, and descend upon you like locusts.
* As much as the changeling’s powers are meant for ambush, you can use them for offensive purposes in combination with normal methods of killing people. A deathsting along with a few lasers from a laser gun and etc can put a stop to groups in mere seconds.</strike> newling!
* As a changeling, the absolute best item for you to get is a wallet (From the crew quarters, in either cabin's personal closet, in the leather satchel.) It goes in your ID slot and holds up to 4 ids, all of which work for automatic access and none of which change your mouse over identity.

* Only take four or even three abilities at round start! Once you take an ability, it is locked in unless you husk someone. Husking someone is time-consuming, leaves obvious evidence, sort of dickish, and if anyone interrupts you then you're boned. If you leave a few slots open, though, you can easily adapt to whatever shit you find yourself in, and Changeling mode is about getting out of shit that you find yourself in. I usually go with Engorged Chemical Sacs, Cryo, Mute and whatever I feel like taking.

* Kill a ling, drag a weldertank onto it, and then welder/shoot the tank with a laser. This gibs the ling.

* As long as you can talk and you're within 1 tile of an intercom, you can type :i in front of what you say to say it over the intercom. Even when you're stunned and/or on the ground. This saved my life on more than one occasion, such as when a changeling tried to absorb me on a pod and the silence sting wore off before he killed me.<strike>

* If you have the obese mutation, you can NOT be grabbed by the neck, and therefore unable to be choked, leaving you immunity against changeling absorbtions and giving you more time. However, some changelings are smart and may buy an unfat sting. </strike> newling!
* Actually the best way to counter lings to hang around in groups of three. The ling is an ambush predator and will only attack prey that is weak and isolated. ...Except if the lings are working in groups as well.

* If you get cryostung as a Security Officer, remove your armor and helmet. REMOVE THEM. Or else you will die. Sec armor has somehow some heattampering properties, which means you won't heat up as much as you would normally be, and will consequently die of cold. Same goes if you are wearing an hardsuit/space protective gear/anything that could have thermal properties. If you get cryo'd, REMOVE THOSE THINGS ASAP.
