Caitlin's Forms - Detailed Descriptions
Since I didn't want to try to cram all of the details of Caitlin's three alternate forms in the mod description, I'm instead going to cram them here.

Enjoy.



Base Form Stats:
-Health: 110
-Hunger: 110
-Sanity: 100
Everything else is pretty much normal.


~~Attack Form~~
Chemicals in the Doctored Mask shut down sections of the brain regarding emapthy, rational thought, and impulse control, and Caitlin falls into a state of paranoia and psychopathy. Her severe dislike and distrust of others drastically magnifies her ability to exterminate them, quadrupling her damage output at the cost of halfing her attack speed. She gets an almost psychotic thrill from cold-blooded murder, and doing so will recover a small bit of health and hunger.
However, people are not the only subject of her newfound paranoia, as she no longer trusts food or medicine enough to be willing to use them, and she becomes too anxious to be able to sleep.
-Health: 150
-Hunger: 50
-Sanity: 150

Pros:
~Ridiculous damage output. (She can 1-shot spiders with a spear, for reference.)
~Recovers health and hunger upon killing enemies (recovers Health equal to 5% of the foe's max health, and Hunger equal to 2.5%)

Cons:
~Low hunger means she can't stay this form for very long.
~She has no reliable way to recover any of her stats.
~Struggles to fight at night or during extreme weather, due to lacking a hat slot.



~~Speed Form~~
Radiation from the Malignant Crown cause small, localized mutations across the brain, causing Caitlin's thoughts to become disorganized and erratic, to the point of her thought processes becoming virtually impossible to follow. She also literally becomes impossible to follow, as her speed far outclasses any character or creature. However, due to her inability to organize her thoughts in any meaningful way, she is completely unable to craft new items in this state.
-Health: 50
-Hunger: 150
-Sanity: 150

Pros:
~LUDICROUS SPEED
~Gathers resources super fast and kites extremely well due to said LUDICROUS SPEED
~Glows in the dark, so she can keep gathering things at night.

Cons:
~Extremely low health leaves very little margin for error in combat.
~She can't do anything with the resources she collects, nor can she replace broken tools without transforming. To make the full use of this form, enter prepared, and don't leave until you need to (This applies for all forms, really, but especially so for this one)
~Struggles in extreme temperatures due to lack of a hat slot, though not to the extent of Attack form.



~~Defense Form~~
Caitlin's Memento triggers actute feelings of poignancy and nostalgia for times long past, causing her to retreat into her own mind to the point of psychosis. She becomes detached and unresponsive, barely affected by her environment or enemy attacks. However, just as the outside world loses its ability to affect her, she loses her ability to affect it, and suffers a severe cut to her movement speed and damage output.
-Health: 250
-Hunger: 150
-Sanity: 50

Pros:
~Highly durable; very difficult to kill.
~Regenerates health faster than extreme temperatures can take it down, making her much better suited for summer and winter than her other two forms.
~While her damage taken from starvation has been amplified to the point where it still damages her despite her regen, her regen means she's able to recover from starvation very well once she has food again.

Cons:
~Very slow. Painfully slow.
~Seriously, she's so slow. You aren't getting much work done in this form.
~Low damage output changes combat into more of a battle of attrition, and puts her at a major disadvantage when facing off against multiple foes at once.
~Very low sanity means she is very easily driven insane.

so, i've encountered something like a bug, or several. nothing really crippling, but still.
first of all, whenever i change forms for the first time i get a friendly terrorbeak, which can be attacked by the other creatures (i have faster followers mod, so this might be compatibility problem).
then, some time after that, after dying with red amulet in malignant form, i just lied there, among my stuff, not quite dead, but completely unable to interact with the world (including Esc key, had to alt+F4. i also have 'backpack + amulet slot' mod, don't know if it changes anything).
upon restarting i was restored from the last autosave, but in addition to my terrorbeak, i received my shadow copy, much like maxwell, but without sanity penalty.
so, as i was saying, nothing severe, but i thought i'd tell you about that.
