New Forms?

I posted this a couple years ago I think, and it's since been purged. With the new surge in Kheldians though figured I'd post it again for the hell of it.

At level 6, what if they allowed you to choose between two forms? Instead of simply the blaster like Nova you could choose a Stalker-ish form?

Bright Comet/Dark Comet. Perhaps an inherent hide and a mix between SS/SJ. A slimmed down Dwarf appearance perhaps, with a longer tail?

For attacks you could throw in four just like Nova. Only perhaps a couple quick melee attacks, a short 40ft. ranged attack, and maybe a 60ft. teleport attack, similar to Lightning Rod/Shield Charge.

Then at level 20 you could have a similar choice, between the tanker like Dwarf forms and a more Controller'ish form.

Always thought it would be neat to come with an inherent fly and a couple flying pets as well. Something like flying fire imps, but of course not fire imps. More like a couple scaled down Nova Forms, while the player would have a much larger Nova-like appearance. The pets could provide some ranged damage while the player would have a few CC attacks, some type of buff, and a couple heals, a PBAoE one along with a long range friendly heal.

Any opinions, comments, criticism? With I16's power customization coming up, and Kheldians being left out, I remembered this idea and thought I'd bring it up again. /shrug

Never going to happen.

Development is focused on making new sets for normal ATs and new EATs. Not going back and adding powers to EATs or any normal AT set for that matter.

Can't argue that. Guess it's just I wish it could of been this way then.

About the only thing we can hope for, especially because of the power customization coming, are new form *graphics*, but not powers themselves changing. So instead of only being able to take squid form, you might have a choice between squid, a vaguely humanoid energy form, and a lightform-esque ball of energy. with the same exact 4 energy blasts no matter which form you choose for that costume slot power choice.

In fact, I *really* hope they allow us to choose between 2-3 different forms per shape change power we have, as I really loathe the squid form's looks, however I love the Dwarf form, so 1 out of 2 ain't bad.

Have they confirmed if Power Customization will be for the Khelds initially or at a later time?

It would be cool to have a scorpion-like alternate form that you can switch up for the lobster.
