Actor isn't limited at all. He has 45 forms! And each have their own abilities. In fact, if used properly and strategically, he could become the strongest among the NPCs. 80% of the output of his mimic forms is equal to around level 95 which still passes as a potential threat to a level 100 opponent. Might even topple the level 100 opponent if chosen correct build against them.

According to lore, doppelgangers who gain new forms cannot be distinguished from the real deal. These forms are also permanent (unless in YGGDRASIL they lose enough levels, I suppose). shapeshifters and illusions can be seen through. Using temporary forms is what the shapeshifter class is for. If a doppelganger could exchange their doppelganger forms on a whim that would be unbalanced and OP. Greater doppelgangers and dread doppelganger will face setbacks or penalties from changing too many forms, too many times (is what I theorize as to why they get penalties and limits to their racial ability).
