Mutation Enhancements

This is a list of all available Mutations a Mutant can gain and enhance with Mutation Points (MP). To learn more about Mutant powers, go to Mutations or go to the Difficulties to learn more about the other ways to customize a Character.

Cosmetic Mutations

The following mutations all cost zero points and are, for the most part, just suggestions on how your mutation starts to appear on your body. These can be used for role-playing, but they should also be considered when dealing with disguise or other skill/ability checks that involve interacting with other people. Consider the following options as suggestions to inspire Character looks; they are neither a requirement nor a complete list.

Table: Cosmetic Mutations

Name	Description
Extra Digits	You gain an extra digit on each hand and foot. The extra fingers or toes, although fully functional, do not confer any special benefit, nor do they hinder you in any way.
Fins	Your body sprouts fishlike fins. A fin might begin on the top of your head and go all the way down your spine. Others might appear on your forearms or calves, or they might sprout from your shoulders or ears. The fins confer no special abilities. Upgrade: 1MP Switches this from a Cosmetic to an Enhanced Ability type and costs the fins to grow along with webbing. No longer take a speed penalty while swimming and gain a +4 for Swim checks.
Forked Tongue	You gain a forked tongue like that of a snake. Your new tongue might be a different color and longer than your old one.
Horns	Two or more tiny horns sprout from your head, shoulders, or arms. These blunt-tipped nubs are too small to serve any use in combat.
Scaly Skin	Your flesh thickens and becomes less porous, forming a thin layer of scales. The scales are typically smooth and dry, like those of a snake, and can vary in color and pattern. The scales may not cover your entire body; instead, they appear in patches on your face, neck, torso, and limbs. Special: A creature with fur, scales, or chitin cannot gain this mutation.
Thin Fur Coat	You grow a thin coat of brown or golden-brown fur, similar to that of a small mammal. Special: A creature with fur, scales, or chitin cannot gain this mutation.

Unnatural Hair	Your hair or fur color changes drastically to an uncommon shade for your species. You may have fur or hair that is multicolored, streaked, splotched, or slightly luminescent. Your hair or fur may also change color with your mood.
Unnatural Skin	The color of your skin or exoskeleton changes drastically, assuming a hue or texture that is both unnatural and atypical of your species. Your skin might be a single color, splotched, or patterned in some freakishly unnatural way. Your skin might produce dynamic pigments that change color in response to external stimuli, such as ultraviolet light.
Unnatural Voice	Your voice changes in some marked fashion. It might change pitch, becoming more lyrical, raspy, whispery, or guttural.

If Character already possesses a Natural Bite attack, they gain 1d4 Chemical Bonus Damage on the Bite attack. Upgrade: +1 MP Gains either an additional 15ft or raises the Damage.

IE: +1MP brings damage to 1d4+1, +2MP brings damage to 1d6+1, +3MP brings damage to 1d6+2, etc. Once the damage die is at 1d8, any additional damage requires 2MP. Special: You cannot gain this mutation if you have the Venomous Bite mutation or any other mutation that involves changes to characters' saliva.

If the Character already is or becomes a Dimension Knight, then count these as Bonus Techniques. Upgrade: Gain access to 1 more Trick and be able to do a trick once more per day. Every two upgrades increase the cost by 1MP. This upgrade can only be applied a total of 4 times and can only be done once per Character Level. Special: None
Energy Vampire	You drain the life force or energy from other living things you can touch. Type: Offensive MP Cost: 3 Benefit: Gain a Natural Touch attack that drains HP from the target and gives it to the Character. Touch 1d6 (None). The damage turns into Health for the Character. If the Character is already at max health, they gain 1/2 the remaining damage in temporary HP. Upgrade: 1MP Improves the damage by adding first a +1 damage bonus and then a Weapon Die level increase. I.e., First upgrade goes from 1d6 to 1d6+1, then from 1d6+1 to 1d8+1, then from 1d8+1 to 1d8+2, etc. Every other upgrade increases the cost by 1MP. Special: 3MP Multi Attack. If the Character is able to touch multiple targets, they can drain from as many of them at once as a single Standard Action attack. A roll for each Target is still necessary.
Enlarged Form	You grow, becoming a freakishly large specimen of your kind. Type: Offensive MP Cost: 4 Benefit: Character's body increases significantly in size. This means the Character is now one size category larger than before. Your weight is double, and your weight is x6. This effect can be done once per day and lasts for 1+Conn Mod turns (min 1). This provides +2 Strength, a -2 Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), a -1 to AC, and a temp HP bonus of 1HD (Hit Die) + Conn Mod. NOTE: This mutation does not change your face. If shrinking back down to normal reduces HP to below zero, the Player rolls a Con saving throw DC5 + (Number of points below zero). If passed, the Character has 1HP; if failed, the Character has 0 and passes out. Upgrade: 1MP can increase the number of times per day and the number of turns by +1, so 2+Conn Mod. After 2MP has been spent on upgrades, the upgrade cost changes to 2MP. Special: For 2MP change the bonuses too: +4 Strength, a -3 Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), a -2 to AC, a temp HP bonus of 1HD (Hit Die) + Conn Mod, and 1DR for all damage types.

IE: +1MP brings damage to 1d4+1, +2MP brings damage to 1d6+1, +3MP brings damage to 1d6+2, etc. Once more than 4 MP is spent any additional damage requires 2MP. Note: This mutation can be used in conjunction with the Acidic Saliva or Venomous Bite mutation. If so, this adds the Acidic or Venomous damage as bonus damage. (The bonus damage from these mutations does not stack IE: 1d4+1 Acid damage just adds the 1d4 as bonus damage to the Fangs bite attack) Special: 1MP allows the Fangs to be retractable and can be activated as a Free action. When retracted, this reduces the negatives to Disguise checks as if you didn't spend any MP on this Mutation. However, the Intimidate bonus also goes away.
Great Horns	You sprout horns capable of damaging or goring a target. The horns may be curled like a ram’s or pointed like a bull’s. Conversely, you may grow a single horn in the middle of the forehead, like that of a rhinoceros, or a large rack of antlers, like that of a moose. Type: Offensive MP Cost: 3 Benefit: Gain a Natural Gore Attack that deals kinetic damage. The attack, however, requires a standard technique action. Damage depends on size: Small 1d4, Medium-size 1d6, Large 1d8. This also grants extra damage on a Charge Technique in the form of adding the Character's advantage die. Upgrade: 1MP point increases damage by upgrading the dice. 1d3 becomes 1d4, and so on. Each time damaged is raised, it first increases bonus damage by one, and the next MP improves the Damage Die.

In addition, your body acts as a radiation battery, storing the energy for later use. Once per day as a free action, you may release a 30-foot-radius burst of radiation centered on you. All creatures within the burst radius are exposed to a power blast of radiation. 1d6 Thermal Damage + Conn Save DC18 against getting Nauseated for 1 day. Note: The Character gives off radiation that is easily detectable and almost impossible to shield from. The Character must exhaust their Radiation once per day, or it becomes dangerous and makes the Character Nauseated after 24 hours, then another 24 hours they become Sickened and after that there Radiation is so deadly anyone around them takes a Conn Save DC15 + each day or else become Nauseated. Upgrade: 1MP, either choose to give one more use per day or increase the damage die by one level. Each upgrade increases the cost of the next upgrade by 1MP.

This does damage to all things within the blast radius; there is no saving throw.

This deals the same damage the Sonic Attack does, but to all within range.

Type: Defensive MP Cost: 2 Benefit: Gain 1HP (+1 for every 2 Hit Die) Regeneration. This means each round of combat or every 3 seconds, gain 1HP until restored to full health. If the Character is level 2, this would be 2HP. At level 4, it would be 3HP, 6 4HP, and so on.

Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target). Note: This ability functions underwater. A moderate wind or current disperses the cloud in 4 rounds. A strong wind or current disperses the cloud in 1 round. Upgrade: 1MP increases the number of times per day this can be done or increases the radius by 5ft. For every 2MP spent, the cost increases by 1MP. Special: Attributes can be added to this that turn it into an area of effect attack. Such as Venonous or Poison.

Upgrade: 1MP gain 1 Free Rank in either Acrobatics or Athletics and +1 Misc Mod to the Escape Artist skill. If the Character is at their Rank limit for either Acrobatics or Athletics, then they cannot upgrade this Mutation. Special: 2MP. This allows the Character to become stretchy and extend the length of their limbs, neck, and torso to twice their range. This can give the Character a 5 ft. reach with melee weapons, but they have to take a Disadvantage when using it. If a Strength check or saving throw is involved when stretched gain a disadvantage unless the action is an attempt to return to normal length. This also grants a double advantage in getting out of a Grapple.
Extra Arms	You grow an additional pair of arms. The extra arms look and behave exactly like your other arms. Type: Enhanced Abilities MP Cost: 2 Benefit: Gain two more arms. Gain a +4 bonus to Climb and Grapple Checks. For the purposes of combat, both extra arms are treated as “off hands” (that is, you still have only one primary hand), and you can only use one hand/arm for the purposes of double-handed weapons or off-handed weapons. So, fundamentally, this doesn't change combat. Upgrade: 1MP Gain +2 to Climb and Grapple checks. The first time an upgrade is spent on this Mutation gain Advantage on freeing from grapple. After 3 MP is spent improving this mutation (either with upgrades or special), upgrades/and special cost an additional 1MP.

The restored HP is equal to the Target's Hit Die + Character's Advantage Die. Also, while out of combat, gain Luck on Treat Injury Skill checks. Also, the Character does not need a First Aid Kit or Medical Kit to perform Treat Injury checks. A Character can only do the Treat Injury Skill check or in-combat Healing 1 + Conn Mod (Min Zero) number of times per day. Upgrade: 2MP increases the total HP restored to 2 Hit Die (Targets) + Character's (Mutant) Advantage Die. And the base number of times per day by 1. Special: 1MP Allow the Mutant to be able to do this to 2 targets per turn, while counting the Heal action only once, as long as both targets are able to be touched at the same time. Special 2: 2MP Life Giver. The Mutant Character can choose to give their own personal life force to heal an injured target. They drain their own HP and instantly transfer it to the target, restoring HP and even granting a temporary HP bonus. This means the Target can receive more HP than their max allows. This goes away after rest. The Mutant can do this special as long as they have more then 1HP to give.
Gills	You grow a set of gills that can draw the oxygen out of water. The gills appear on your neck, chest, or back (near your windpipe or lungs). Type: Enhanced Ability MP Cost: 1 Benefit: You can breathe both air and water. You can operate underwater indefinitely without drowning. Upgrade: None Special: This can be a Drawback that grants 1MP back to the Character. When doing this, the Gills must be kept constantly wet, as they can easily dry out. This causes Nauseated and 1d4 temp Conn damage for every 12 hours it isn't wetted again. If the Character is exposed to an extremely dry environment, they must immediately cover their Gills with something wet, or they will instantly dry out. This can become a serious issue in freezing environments.
Leaper	You gain the ability to leap incredible distances. Type: Enhanced Ability MP Cost: 1 Benefit: Character can leap 20ft spans at a dead stop and 30+ft with a running start. Gain a +5 mutation bonus to any Athletic/Acrobatics check that involves jumping. By default,t the Character cannot carry other Characters or use this ability if encumbered. Upgrade: 1MP gains an additional 5ft max jumping distance and an additional +5 bonus to checking involving jumping. Each upgrade makes the cost of the next upgrade increase by 1MP. Special: 1MP your legs have super strength. Your weight and/or carrying capacity is as if your strength score is 6 points higher. You can now carry one other Character of your same size or 2 of a smaller size when leaping and take no penalties. This Special cannot be taken until the Mutant is at least level 7. Special 2: 2MP your default walking speed is increased by 50% round up, both in and out of combat. Walking no longer tires you out. You cannot become Fatigued or Exhausted from simply walking, and it takes twice as long to become Fatigued from running.
Pheromone Attraction	You can regulate the production of pheromones in your body and release them at will, altering the moods of other nearby creatures. Type: Enhanced Ability MP Cost: 3 Benefit: Gain a +2 Misc Modifer on all Bluff, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, and Intimidate checks made on targets within 30 feet. Gain the ability to draw the attention of out-of-combat NPCs/Monsters to Character location if they are within 120ft. The NPC/Monster must roll a DC15 Wisdom save. If they succeed, they know that something is pulling them attentively towards them. Otherwise, they mindlessly feel a strong desire to move in your direction. In an outdoor situation, downwind can carry the scent in a specific direction rather than in all directions, and in a vented area, if the vents lack strong filters, the effect can cause confusion and spread throughout the ship/facility/house.

It can also grasp and manipulate a simple object weighing up to 5 pounds.
