QuestionText:	If a dropped character is re-apped by the same player and that player wants to change the Soul choice, can that be done at time of app & implied to have happened while they were being held by Patho-Gen post-drop, or would they need to keep the original Soul choice? If the former, does that count as their free swap?<br><br>--UNRELATEDLY TO THAT, can a Shifted form change permanently without the involved Natural Souls changing at all, or is the form set? If it can change, is there a limited degree of change possible? Would it need a triggering event of some kind to provoke the change?<div class="edittime"><em>Edited <span class="datetime"><span class="comment-date-text"> </span> <span title="2025-11-06 05:04 pm (electrotoxic's time)">2025-11-07 11:04 am (local)</span></span></em></div>

AnswerText:	A dropped + reapped character (by the same player) could change their Natural Soul type on reapping! It could be assumed to have happened while their body was in Patho-Gen's keeping (either as a result of them attempting to plant a new Augmenter in there, or something that happened 'naturally' as in the case of treat-related additions). This wouldn't have to count for the free change (if problems ever arise from this, we may reassess, but as it stands it feels unnecessary as a restriction).<br><br>And one's developed Shift could <i>somewhat</i> change its features, if the player wanted it. For souls like Golems, it tends to happen naturally anyway, as their bodies adapt to what they're being used for (and the kinds of rocks they've been eating), or what the character would <i>like</i> to do with themself. <br><br>For other soul types, changes can still happen, though it shouldn't diverge <i>too</i> far from the original idea. Such as a bear Carnivora turning into a racoon... but there's still room for aspects to develop in new directions- to become bulkier or lighter, or to carry different patterns, etc. This could happen on its own, or as the result of stress, or mutation from too much time spent around Katalyth. <br><br>The addition of parts/features (as in, the player thought of a neat thing to add to an existing creature) is fine!
