Oh, I almost forgot Anzati...

Oh, I almost forgot Anzati... 

You can pick your friends...you can pick your nose...but you should never let an Anzati stick their feeding tendrils in your nose...because it is disgusting on the one hand and they will suck your brains out on the other hand.

These guys and gals would make great villains...well not great, gross actually, but effective.

I actually debated about making Cronfios Anzati in the TOR RP... but that seemed a bit TOO extreme.  But yes, they could be excellent villains.

I stared at the face straws and pointy hands for 2 minutes before I was able to look at enough of the rest of the picture to realize that was a chick trying to eat his brain. Freaky Factor rates an 8.5 on my WS-O-Meter. Definitely good villain material. Wouldn't mind seeing one turn up in the GCW RP.....

You should've. That'd have been awesome.

I disagree.  Their lifespan is so long as to be nigh immortal, especially when coupled with their natural strength and toughness.  Would have been overpowered.  Also - no real reason to view any other character as anything but food....  which would get old, I'd think.  If I want to play Vampire the Masquerade, I'll play that... 

[Manroon]

Yeah, Cronfios trying to eat your brains would be weird. I like him as he is, what I've read of him gives me the impression of what I think a Sith Master should be. A villain that thinks 12 moves ahead.

The immortal brain vampires and the immortal shapechangers..both far too powerful for a player character IMO.

I figured you all would be excited as to who was getting his face assaulted by said brain sucker...

[rezeb360]

Quarren ,Zeltron, Twi'lek, Jawa, Ithorian not in that particular order.

The Shi'ido would be way OP in a combat situation, but they seemingly avoid direct combat whenever possible and prefer to use their intellect to work behind the scenes (Gog, for example).

Just saying...not to hurt someone's favorite selection, but these guys are ridiculously powerful.  The writer might as well said the Q in context of being too powerful...now the Q is light years beyond powerful compared, but the idea of being overpowered is still sound.

The whole be anything you want to be and live forever...leaves me cold 

[Luna]

They aren't really immortal (again, using Gog as an example). They're definitely powerful, though, and that's one of the reasons I like them. If I was involved in the RP I definitely wouldn't play a Shi'ido, but that wasn't the question at hand.

[RogueLeader]

You should get involved in the RP, it's really fun.

[ed_ification]

Let's get back on topic, though...

That is very true...it was not an RP exclusive question or even intent  

I am a huge fan of shapeshifters myself but these guys are a bit much.

Maybe if the way they were described were the top tier, best of the best, #1 and #2 of the entire species/race...that I could get behind...and that would make some sense.

If this were a consideration for PC I would certainly consider a shapechanger but there would need to be some checks and balances...maybe something like absolutely zero force abilities, their fluid like minds are too alien to tap into the force directly (so no Jedi or sith)...the shapechange aspect would be wide open with consideration of specialty skills, such as humanoids, flora, fauna, static objects, machines (look like a machine not function like said machine), or element (look like a pile of stones or a puddle of water etc.)...regeneration would make sense with consumption of organic material...etc.  There is lots to work with there.

Fun times
