"Jump into people's bodies when standing behind them"
Possess is a Special Ability used by the Shapeshifter. By standing behind a target and using the ability, the player jumps into the target's body and effectively becomes them. The player receives all of the possessed person's items, traits, special abilities, and alliances, but retains their own status effects. If friends of the possessed person witness you possessing the person or leaving their body, they will become Hostile toward you. You can exit your host body by using the Possession Stone. Upon regaining control of themselves, a formerly possessed person will become Dizzy and will become Hostile toward your natural form. If your host dies, you will pop out of their body after a few seconds and take 15 points of damage.
All of the effects of Body Swapper, No Harm in Dying, and Possessions are Peachy Keen.
Tips and Strategies[]
While possessing an NPC, the player will lose all of their starting Traits. Traits acquired by level-up still apply both to your natural form and to your host body.
The health loss from a host's death cannot kill you. If it would, your health will be set to 1 instead.
