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
She gives off a small positive sanity aura to anyone around her in this form. Everything else is pretty much normal.



~~Attack Form (C key) ~~
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, outside of killing.
~Struggles to fight at night or during extreme weather, due to lacking a hat slot.
~Other characters get creeped out by her, and standing near her will drain their sanity.



~~Speed Form (Z) ~~
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 or view the map 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, and protect others from Charlie.

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), or have others craft items for you.
~Struggles in extreme temperatures due to lack of a hat slot, though not to the extent of Attack form.



~~Defense Form (X) ~~
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.

Eating enough Nightmare Fuel to spawn that Shadow Friend crashes servers. It'd be lovely to see that fixed! Other than that she seems to work perfectly and is a very fun character to play as. Good work!
