RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
You can absorb 1 point of cold damage equal to your Mutation score. Damage absorbed in this way is noted as Temporary Life Points, but otherwise has no effect on you—they don’t actually do damage so they cannot be deflected. Any damage beyond these points affects you as normal and may be deflected. When real damage is taken, it is subtracted from these temporary Life Points first. If you are unwounded, the absorbed Temporary Life Points dissipate at a rate of 1 point every four hours.

ACCELERATE GROWTH

RANGE:		Mental Strength in feet	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:		Permanent	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:		1 per 24 hours	MODIFIER:	Mental Strength
You can cause unintelligent plants to grow faster and bigger with a successful Mutation check. The area affected is equal to a 20-foot radius. The growth can have several different results, including:
ENTANGLE:	The plants may grow into an entangling thicket with a Physical Strength equal to your Mental Strength. This growth takes 2 rounds.
BLOSSOM or BEAR FRUIT:	The plants may mature and bear fruit in 10 minutes.
SHAPE:	The plants can be grown into specific shapes, using your Mental Strength to determine success and the GM's opinion of the difficulty involved. This could take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.

ACCELERATED AGING
DEFECT			P	--	--
RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution

ACHILLES HEEL
DEFECT							P	--	--
RANGE:			Self			DAMAGE:	x2 to you
DURATION:			Constant			AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:			Constant			MODIFIER:	Constitution
You have a crucial weakness in your body. Whenever this specific spot is struck, you suffer double damage from that attack, and must make a Constitution check minus the (Defect) score or suffer the effect of a slam. When an attack is specifically aimed to strike this weakness, the damage reduction of your armor is reduced to just the AC score. Without specifically targeting your weak spot, any attack that hits by 5 or more points manages to hit that spot anyway.
Roll 1d6 to determine the location of this vital spot, or the GM may create its location.
	ROLL	LOCATION		ROLL	LOCATION
	1	back of skull		4	some joint shoulder
	2	forehead		5	belly/chest
	3	jaw		6	bottom of foot

ACIDIC VOMIT
--			P	--	--
RANGE:	5 feet	DAMAGE:	3d6/2d6/1d6
DURATION:	3 rounds	AREA OF EFFECT:	50-foot diameter
USE:	once per 3 rounds up to 3 times per day	MODIFIER:	Constitution
You can regurgitate a quart of acid from a special organ attached to your stomach and project the acid up to 5 feet away. The quart of acid can cover a 5-foot diameter of surface area. Once the acid is spewed, it does 3d6 points of acid damage to any target hit in the first round, 2d6 damage on the second round, and an additional 1d6 points of damage on the third round. After the third round, the acid becomes inert and harmless.

ADAPTATION
--			--	--	F
RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
This plant develops immunity to some type of physical attack not involving edged weapons once it has survived that type of attack one time. The immunity manifests itself as a 6-point damage reduction to that attack form and the new Mutation arises 1d4 days after surviving that attack. It never gains Immunity from Mental Attacks except for those that physically manifest themselves to do damage.

ADRENALINE SURGE
--			P	--	--
RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	4 rounds	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	once per day	MODIFIER:	Constitution
Once per day, as a free action, you can flood your bloodstream with extreme amounts of adrenaline to temporarily boost either your Strength or Dexterity by 1d4+1 points. The increase lasts for 4 rounds. You can also double your Speed for 4 rounds. However, this does not work with the Decreased Speed defect. A Mutation check that succeeds by 5 or more points lets you double the duration.

AEROKINESIS
--			--	M	--
RANGE:	150 feet	DAMAGE:	Special
DURATION:	Constant with full concentration	AREA OF EFFECT:	varies
USE:	once per day	MODIFIER:	Mental Strength
___You can control the direction and intensity of air currents. You cannot fly with this Mutation but you can fill a sail, create micro-burst downdrafts, or even a small tornado (whirlwind/dust devil). You can control a light breeze with little effort and only a fraction of your concentration, but a strong wind requires your full attention.
___You can create a micro-burst that is a forceful crush of air down onto an area 30 feet in diameter. The micro-burst attack is a WC 4 attack and does 6d6 damage but you must spend 3 rounds of full focused and uninterrupted concentration to prepare the micro-burst, and then must make a Constitution check. If the check does not succeed then you must rest one hour. Critical Failure means you fall unconscious from the stress for 2 hours.
___You can also create and control a small tornado. The tornado is WC 4, does 2d6 points of damage per round, and can move 10 feet per round. You must spend two rounds of full focused and uninterrupted concentration to prepare the tornado and then may drive the tornado for 1d6+1 rounds.
___Additionally you can change the air pressure around a specific target’s head; this attack is a WC 2 and does 1d6 damage. The air pressure can be done in a single round, but still requires your full attention.

AGELESS
--			P	--	--
RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
At the age of 25, you stopped aging. Your physique and features do not change no matter how old you get chronologically, and you will never suffer the ravages of old age. You take no penalties for age.

ALLERGY
DEFECT								P		--	F
RANGE:			100 feet				DAMAGE:		N/A
DURATION:			Special				AREA OF EFFECT:		System Shock
USE:			Constant				MODIFIER:		Constitution
___You suffer an allergic reaction to some foreign substance that you came in contact with, inhaled, ate, or it was injected into you. You must succeed at a Constitution check versus your own Mutation score or else suffer a penalty of -5 to all actions. Stronger concentrations of this substance or a closer presence to the creature may result in higher penalties. Critical Failure means you go into anaphylactic shock.
___The allergic reaction lasts as long as you are in contact with the item and for 1d10 minutes after escaping contact with the substance. Some substances that you might be allergic to include:
		Animal fur		Gluten		Shellfish
		Bee Stings		Insect stings		Silver
		Bone		Iron		Soap

		Cotton		Leather		Specific drug
		Dander		Mold		Specific mineral
		Digested meat		Nuts		Specific plant
		Dogs		Oil		Wood & paper
		Dust		Paint		Wool
		Eggs		Plastic
		Feathers		Pollen
___What symptoms you experience depends on your Constitution check. If you have symptoms, you choose which ones. If exposure to the substance you’re allergic to is severe (as determined by the GM), you take a -4 penalty on your Constitution check.
	If you fail by 6 or more points, you experience 5 symptoms.
	If you fail by 5 points or less, you experience 4 symptoms.
	If you succeed by 0 or 1 point, you experience 3 symptoms.
	If you succeed by 2-5 points, you experience 2 symptoms.
	If you succeed by more than 5 points, you experience only 1 symptom.
Critical Success means you aren’t affected at this time. Symptoms can include:
	Anxiety				lightheadedness
	difficulty breathing				restlessness
	difficulty swallowing				shortness of breath
	Dizziness				swelling of face and throat
	drop in blood pressure				vomiting
	Hives				wheezing
	itchy rash

ALLUREMENT

DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	30 feet
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
This plant’s fragrance has a hypnotic effect on intelligent beings, attracting them to it and seducing them into thinking that it is beneficial and should be cherished.

DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution

You cannot command the animals, but some canines and simians can be taught simple tricks based on certain command words. Canines have a 20% chance to learn one trick per thirty days, and simians have a 30% chance to learn one trick per 30 days.

ANIMAL PARTS
--				--	--	F
RANGE:		Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:		Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:		Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
This plant has gained some body part that resembles that of an animal. The exact effect and nature of this animal part should be invented, but some examples are:
Heart:
Claws:	It has claw-like barbs at the end of its leaves with which it can make melee attacks against any creature that gets close.
Ears:	A dozen ears grow out of the stalk in various places around it. It gives the plant the ability to hear sounds, noises and voices up to 100 feet away even if it can’t fully understand what they mean.
Feathers:
Fur:
Tail:	+1 bonus to Balance checks
Teeth:	You get a bite attack.
Trunk:

DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Charisma
All persons within range feel an irrational disgust at your physical appearance and personal habits, regardless of your actual appearance or Charisma or whether they are familiar with your habits or not. You take a -5 penalty to all reaction rolls towards you and the party you are with. Anyone with Intelligence above 18 is immune to this Mutation. However, your Charisma is reduced by –2. Those who have live or closely worked with others suffering from this Mutation will be able to overcome their revulsion within 1d4 days contact with you. Others will never entirely adjust to this Mutation in you.

ANTI-LIFE LEECH
--			--	M	--
RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Self
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Mental Strength
You are immune to the effects of Life Leech. In fact, when you are attacked by a Life Leech attack, you make a Constitution check. A success means that the Life Leeching Mutant takes a Fatigue Level and is stunned. If your Constitution check succeeds by more than 5, then the Leecher is Incapacitated for 3 rounds. If the check fails, the Life Leecher is still Fatigued.

RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	personal
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
This mutation grants a biological pouch on your abdomen. The pouch is biologically capable of caring for an infantile mutant that shares the same genetics as the marsupial mutant. The pouch is also capable of hiding small objects. Rule of thumb: if the profile of the object can be held in your flat and outstretched hand without little to no overhang, then it should fit without too much discomfort. Anything larger than that will both be uncomfortable to house in the pouch and it will be apparent to outside observers that you have something stashed in the pouch.

DURATION:	3d6 days	AREA OF EFFECT:	Single target

Once the object has been touched by an intelligent living being, the effect is destroyed.

RANGE:	50-foot radius	DAMAGE:	Special
DURATION:	5 rounds, per resistance check	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
There’s just something about you that others find cute or sweet or adorable or fascinating. All creatures within range need to make a Mental Strength check in order to attack you, and even if they do, they’ll use the least powerful of their weapons or powers when they do.

BODY PART, MODIFIED: TONGUE (PREHENSILE)

DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Mouth (Body)
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Dexterity

DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Strength
You have a pair of pincers like that of a crab or lobster. They either replace your hands or they grow out of your body under your existing arms. They don’t give any additional attacks, but can be used to attack instead of your hands.

BODY PART, NEW: SPINES
--			P	--	--
RANGE:	Self / 4/8/16	DAMAGE:	1d6 / Special
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
You have spines that grow along your back and tail (if you have a tail), etc. There are around 20 spines that do 1d6 damage if you are rubbed up against, more if you are grappled or grappling. Unlike Quills, Spines can’t be fired at opponents.

BODY PART, NEW: TAIL
--			P	--	--
RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
You have a tail that is an extension of your spinal column growing out of the base of your spine. It is either a thin tail like that of a cat or a thick tail like that of a kangaroo. Although the tail improves your balance and can serve as a weapon, it cannot be used for gripping objects.
Thin Tail:	The cat-like tail grants you a +4 bonus to any balance checks you need to make.
Thick Tail:	A kangaroo-like tail can act like a third leg that gives you a +4 bonus to resist being knocked down or make a slam attack against an adjacent opponent to the side or rear. Your tail provides a +2 Mutation bonus on all Balance checks. In addition, you gain a single tail slam as a natural weapon attack that deals bludgeoning damage dependent on your size: Small 1d4, Medium-size 1d6, Large 1d8. If you get multiple attacks in a round, you can strike multiple times with your tail.
SPECIAL:	A creature that already has a tail or any other Tail mutation cannot gain this mutation. This mutation can be used in conjunction with the Barbed Tail mutation.

BODY PART, NEW: TAIL (ARTICULATED)
--				P	--	--
RANGE:		Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:		Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:		Constant	MODIFIER:	Dexterity
You have a tail that is an extension of your spinal column growing out of the base of your spine. This tail ends in a small hand that is able to wield small melee weapons and pistols. It might be able to operate other devices provided those devices can be operated one-handed.
SPECIAL:	A creature that already has a tail cannot gain this mutation.

BODY PART, NEW: TAIL (BARBED)
--				P	--	--
RANGE:		Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:		Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:		Constant	MODIFIER:	Dexterity
You have a tail that is an extension of your spinal column growing out of the base of your spine. The tail ends in a barb shaped somewhat like an arrowhead. You can make a natural weapon attack against an opponent adjacent to your rear or on either flank. A successful hit delivers 2d6 points of piercing damage.
SPECIAL:	A creature that already has a tail cannot gain this mutation.

BODY PART, NEW: TAIL (PREHENSILE)
--				P	--	--
RANGE:		Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:		Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:		Constant	MODIFIER:	Dexterity
___You have a tail that is an extension of your spinal column growing out of the base of your spine. It grants you a +4 bonus to any balance checks you need to make. It can also grab, grasp, seize, hold and manipulate a simple object up to one size category smaller than your own. For example, a Medium-size creature can use its prehensile tail to grasp and manipulate an object of up to Small size. A prehensile tail cannot be used to operate a piece of equipment that requires opposable digits or fine motor control (such as a cell phone).
___Your prehensile tail is incapable of fine manipulation such as wielding a pistol. It can, however, wield a small melee weapon like a dagger, but does so at a -2 penalty. It can only attack an opponent adjacent to your rear, though.
___You can “hang” from your prehensile tail indefinitely by wrapping it around a larger object, thereby freeing up your other limbs.
SPECIAL:	A creature that already has a tail cannot gain this mutation.

BODY PART, NEW: TAIL (REPTILLIAN)
--				P	--	--
RANGE:		Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:		Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:		Constant	MODIFIER:	Dexterity
You have a thick tail that is an extension of your spinal column growing out of the base of your spine. It grants you a +2 Mutation bonus to any balance checks you need to make. It can also be used to make a natural weapon slam attack against an opponent adjacent to your rear or to either flank that delivers 3d6 points of bludgeoning damage.
SPECIAL:	A creature that already has a tail cannot gain this mutation.

BODY PART, NEW: TAIL (STINGER)
--				P	--	--
RANGE:		Self	DAMAGE:	3d6
DURATION:		Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:		Constant	MODIFIER:	Dexterity
You have a tail that is an extension of your spinal column growing out of the base of your spine and curls up over your back. This tail ends in a stinger that delivers 3d6 points of piercing damage on a successful natural weapon attack to any opponent adjacent to your front or either flank. It does not deliver any poison unless you also have another Mutation that would allow that.
SPECIAL:	A creature that already has a tail cannot gain this mutation.

BODY PART, NEW: TAIL (STRANGULATING)
--				P	--	--
RANGE:		Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:		Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:		Constant	MODIFIER:	Dexterity
You have a tail that is an extension of your spinal column growing out of the base of your spine. It grants you a +2 Mutation bonus to all balance checks you need to make. It is also strong enough and flexible enough to strangle an opponent. If you succeed at a natural weapon attack, your opponent is grappled and takes 1d6 points of strangulation damage per round. This is an instinctual defensive mechanism, though, so you cannot use your tail to grab, hold or carry things.
SPECIAL:	A creature that already has a tail cannot gain this mutation.

5. Mutations A - B

BODY PART, NEW: TENTACLES
--			P	--	--
RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Body
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Dexterity
You have a pair of tentacles that grow out of your back, shoulders or under your regular arms. These tentacles can grab, lift and carry items but they can’t manipulate fine things (like pistols and rifles) nor can they wield melee weapons. They can, however, throw things like rocks or make an unarmed attack.

BODY PART, NEW: TRUNK
--			P	--	--
RANGE:	Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:	Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Face (Body)
USE:	Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution
Your nose has grown longer and thicker until it turned into a trunk like an elephant has. It isn’t the size of an elephant’s trunk unless you are the size of an elephant. It has multiple functions, including breathing, olfaction, touching, grasping, and sound production. Your sense of smell is four times as sensitive as that of a bloodhound. The trunk's ability to make powerful twisting and coiling movements allows it to collect food, wrestle with other creatures, and lift up to half your normal Strength limit. It can be used for delicate tasks, such as cracking a peanut shell without breaking the seed. You can use your trunk to suck up food, water, dust or grass to spray at an opponent, though it does no damage, just distracts and annoys them. You can also use your trunk as a snorkel when underwater. And you can use your trunk to wrap around an item and squeeze it.

RANGE:		Self	DAMAGE:	N/A
DURATION:		Constant	AREA OF EFFECT:	Back (Body)
USE:		Constant	MODIFIER:	Constitution

The look of the wings is up to you: bat-like, bird-like, butterfly-like, dragonfly-like, or bumblebee-like. These wings aren’t as efficient as those of a bird, so you can only carry a light load at half speed or a medium load at one quarter the speed.
PLANT:	The plant possesses leafy vanes that function like wings, thereby giving it mobility.
