Mutated Animal Base Stocks [House Rule]
The numbers for mutated animals are a bit off, in my estimation. Also, while certain unlisted animals can easily be substituted into one of the listings, there are also lots of animal types that overlap (great cats, for example). Instead of the listings for base animal traits in the book, select from here. Discuss what bonus mutations you would like with me. They are designed to emulate your base animal traits, so they won't be mutations like radiating eyes or teleportation! If your desired base animal has heightened senses, or poison, or the like, you can select the mutations.
Examples of each type listed are not exhaustive. If there's an animal you want to play that isn't listed, there's probably a type it fits into.
If your mutant starts with natural attacks, roll 1d8:
Roll | Damage |
---|
1-2 | 1d4 dmg |
3-5 | 1d6 dmg |
6-7 | 1d8 dmg |
8 | 1d10 dmg |
