Chameleon Power

Physical, Plant; Activated, SL

Gamma Dawn

(MA1 & GW1)

This mutation allows the character to automatically blend into any background. His body coloration automatically matches the colors of any background that is within a meter. Be aware that his clothes or other belongings do not change color. His skin (or leaves) continuously change as the mutant moves. The mutant can decide to make his skin any single color not related to his background, or can choose to look like his normal self. When chameleon power is activated, the character may add SL x 10 to the roll for surprise or any roll involving hiding or stealth.

MA1 Notes: Physical: 11. Chameleon Powers: This is the ability to change body color to fit into the surroundings. The color change will be almost instantaneous and, once changed, the mutant need not concentrate on the color desired.

GW1 Notes: Physical: 3. Chameleon Powers: This is the ability to change the body color in order to blend in with the surroundings. The color change will be almost instantaneous and, once changed, the mutant need not concentrate on the color(s) desired. It is left to the referee to determine the effectiveness of this mutation in any given situation.

Electrical Generation

Physical, Plant; Activated, SL

Gamma Dawn

(MA1 & GW1)

The mutant is able to build up an electrical charge in a specific part of his body (hands, tail, head, etc.) chosen by the player. If that part of the mutant's body touches anything, a damaging arc of electricity is released.

In essence, the mutant is constantly charging an internal battery, even when sleeping or fighting. Each round he accumulates enough current for a single charge. The internal battery cannot hold more than SLx2 charges worth of electricity. The mutant can choose to discharge number of his stored charges in any given attack, so long as he has that many charges left in storage. Each charge delivered to a target causes 1d10 damage.

The mutant can add this damage to a normal melee attack if he is wielding a metal weapon. The character only takes half damage from electricity. An Anti-Shock Implant nullifies the damage caused by this attack.

MA1 Notes: Physical: 13. Electrical or Heat Generation: This gives a being an “eel” type power in emitting electrical shocks or heat damage for 3 dice (each melee turn) to those touching the mutant (use normal To Hit procedure).

GW1 Notes: Physical: 7. Electrical Generation: This gives a being an “eel-like” ability to emit electrical shocks, each melee turn, 3 dice (3d6) of damage to those touching the mutant.

Physical, Plant; Activated, SL

Gamma Dawn

(Appeared in MA1 & GW1)

The character has the ability to spray a visible gas from a specific place on his body (mouth, navel, hands, etc.) chosen by the player. It fills a sphere two meters in diameter. The gas attacks anyone in the area, who must make a STA check to avoid its effects. The effects of the gas last for 5 + SL rounds. The mutant's body holds up to three full doses of gas, and it takes three hours to regenerate a dose. Roll d100 and consult the table below to determine the type of gas. The mutant is immune to that form of gas.

 I need to work up a Letter notaion system for the above...

MA1 Notes: Physical: 8. Gas Generation: Much like the skunk, this could be an odor expelled from the lungs or other areas of the body, causing things like unconsciousness or death in other beings that inhale it (as determined by the referee).

GW1 Notes: Physical: 9. Gas Generation – Musk: This gives the mutant a gas, or musk gland. Much like a skunk, the mutant may expel this musk or gas, causing repulsion, unconsciousness, or even death in the beings at which it is directed. Range: 10 meters. Suggestions: obscuring gas, irritating gas, paralysis gas, poison gas, musk, blinding musk, and so on.

 Gills

Physical; Automatic, no SL

Gamma Dawn

(MA1)

The mutant has the ability to breath water as well as air. The type of water, salt or fresh, matches the nearest large body of water in the campaign. Mutated Species with this mutation suffer an additional -5 penalty on racial reaction rolls.

MA1 Notes: Physical: 10. Gills: These give a mutant the power to live under the water, but require a much more extensive respiratory system (meaning the body shape will change to make room for the larger lungs).

GILLS                                              Will negate any sonic abilities

I don't know why this is?

GW1 Notes: Not in GW1

 Hands of Power [Heat Generation]

Physical; Activated, SL

The character's hands (or the equivalent) can emit blasts of energy with a range of 15 meters, plus one meter per SL. The energy does 1d10 + SL damage. Roll d100 on the table below to determine the type of energy. The mutant is only immune to that form of energy in his hands (or the equivalent emitting limb). Other parts of the body are not immune. The mutant can store 5 + SL blasts. It takes 8 hours to regenerate a blast.

MA1 Notes: Physical: 13. Electrical or Heat Generation: This gives a being an “eel” type power in emitting electrical shocks or heat damage for 3 dice (each melee turn) to those touching the mutant (use normal To Hit procedure).

GW1 Notes: Physical: 10. Heat Generation: This allows the mutant to cast beams of heat from its hands (paws/tentacles) that do 4 dice (4d6) of searing heat damage. The beams have a maximum range of 15 meters and may be used every 3 melee turns.

 Multiple Limbs [Multiple Body Parts]

Physical, Plant; Automatic, no SL

Gamma Dawn

(First appeared in MA1 & GW1 as Physical only mutation).

The character has 1d5 extra arms or legs (50/50 chance of either, but not both). Extra legs are attached at the hip. Extra arms can be attached anywhere on the torso, as long as they are still useful to the character. A plant with this mutation has a 50/50 chance of possessing extra limbs used for locomotion (legs) or limbs used for manipulation (arms). These can be vines, branches, or roots. Mutated Species with this mutation suffer a -10 penalty on racial reaction rolls.

Each extra leg adds 2 meters/turn to the character's walking speed and +5% to any RS roll involving slipping or being knocked down. Extra arms each improve the character's manual dexterity by +5% when all of them can be used for the task. The character can make one additional attack in a round by using his extra arms if the attacks are virtually identical in nature. For example, he could swing a sword and an axe, but not swing a sword and fire a bow and arrow. The number of extra arms does not affect the number of extra attacks. Five extra arms still result in only one extra attack per round. Multiple ranged attacks must all be aimed at the same target.

If a character has Duality, he can do two actions that his number of arms might allow, such as fire two longbows. What a site that would be!

MA1 Notes: Physical: 6. Multiple Body Parts: These are appendages not usually found on the body in excess numbers. These include things like the complete use of 1-10 extra arms, or a greater number of eyes, or a greater number of legs.

GW1 Notes: Physical: 26. Multiple Body Parts: Multiply any normal body part (except the brain), so that the mutant has a greater number of legs, or more eyes, or the complete use of 1-10 additional arms, etc.

 New Body Parts [New Plant Parts]

Physical, Plant; Automatic, no SL

Gamma Dawn

(First appeared in MA1, then in GW1, was two mutations now one).

The mutant grows body parts not normally found on his species. The character gets as many of these parts as is reasonable, one tail, a pair of pincer claws, etc. Animal and plant characters can get true arms with hands, snakes can get real legs, etc. Whatever the mutant acquires, it must be usable and beneficial. A second head means only a single bran, but there are two sets of sensory organs (eyes, ears, etc.). Roll a d10 on the table below. If the character already has that body part, he can choose to get a second set of them or re-roll. Mutated Species with this mutation suffer a -10 penalty on racial reaction rolls.

MA1 Notes: Physical, Human/Animal; Automatic 4. New Body Parts: These are things not usually found on the human body. Example: a heat sensing organ, tentacles, or a gas generating gland.

Physical, Plant; Automatic 21. New Plant Parts: This is the plant having things like eyes, human type arms, etc.

GW1 Notes: Physical, Human (47-51%) /Animal (46-47%); Automatic 27. New Body Parts: Add one or more parts, not usually found on the being in question, such as: third eye (back of head), feelers (radiation sensitive), antennae (light sensitive), pincers, fur coat, feathers, radiation absorbing organ, and so on.

Physical, Plant (%); Automatic 21 (40-46%). New Plant Parts: With this mutation, the plant is given a new part or set of parts, such as: eyes, ears, arms, an elephant-like trunk, a brain and nervous system, etc.

 Oversized Body Part [Out-Sized Body Parts & Oversized Body Parts]

Physical; Automatic, no SL

Not in Gamma Dawn only appears as Oversized Limbs.

(First appeared in MA1, then in GW 1).

The character has eyes, heart, lungs (or whatever) that are larger than normal. This constitutes a beneficial increase in size to a certain part of the body which gives that part a corresponding increase in power. Example: larger eyes for greater vision, larger lungs for holding breath longer or no fatigue at high altitudes, etc. Only one part of a being’s body may be so affected. This cannot be limbs that is a separate mutation. Mutated Species with this mutation suffer a -10 penalty on racial reaction rolls.

MA1 Notes: Physical, Human/Animal ; Automatic 3. Out-Sized Body Parts: This is an increase in certain areas of the body, with a subsequent increase in power. Example: larger eyes for greater vision, a larger heart for greater endurance. Only one item of a being’s body may be increased when choosing this mutation.

GW1 Notes: Physical, Human (58%)/Animal (52%); Automatic 31. Oversized Body Parts: This constitutes a beneficial increase in size to a certain part of the body which gives that part a corresponding increase in power. Example: larger eyes for greater vision, longer legs for greater speed, etc. Only one part of a being’s body may be so affected.

Oversized Limbs [Out-Sized Body Parts & Oversized Body Parts]

Physical, Plant; Automatic, no SL

Gamma Dawn

The character has arms, legs, tentacles, or vines (or whatever) that are longer than normal. Longer arms, tentacles or vines allow for greater reach. Longer legs give the character +5 on his base speed. Only one set of limbs is lengthened. These cannot be limbs that both provide movement and tool use, only one or the other. The limbs are anywhere from 20% to 100% oversized. Roll (2d5)x10% to find the exact percentage. Mutated Species with this mutation suffer a -10 penalty on racial reaction rolls.

Notes: Oversized Limbs used to be part of Oversized Body Parts. Appears in Gamma Dawn as both an Physical (61-62) & Plant mutation  (60-64)

Poison [Poison Claws or Fangs, Vines, Thorns, Throwing Thorns, Contact Poison Sap]

Physical, Plant; Automatic, SL

Gamma Dawn

(First appeared in MA1 & GW1 as a variety of poisonous mutations, now reduced to two mutations see Poison Thorns).

The character can generate a special poison that is delivered by a natural attack, i.e. claws, teeth, nails, spit, tail barb, quills, horns, etc. The poison has an intensity of 5 + SL (i.e. S(5 + SL)/T6). The mutant can store enough poison for three successful attacks. It takes three hours to regenerate one dose. The mutant is immune to his own poison, and gets a +10% STA modifier when attacked by other poisons. Choose which type of poison (destructive, debilitative, paralytic) randomly.

MA1 Notes: Physical: 5. Poison Claws or Fangs: The secretions of a new gland in the body that makes a toxic fluid injected by a piercing agent. The intensity of the poison is up to the referee.

Plant: 2. Poison Vines: A prickly vine that is able to inject its toxic fluid (intensity level is at referee’s option) at a touch on the skin.

Plant: 3. Poison Thorns: A hollow sharp thorn filled with poison (intensity level is at judge’s option) that releases its fluids upon penetration.

Plant: 4. Poison Throwing Thorns: These are larger thorns (about 6 inches long) that a plant can launch through the air at short ranges (from 2-12 feet) that release their poison (intensity level at judge’s option) upon penetration.

Plant: 5. Contact Poison Sap: A toxic substance that is able to cause damage even though it does not penetrate the blood stream (intensity level is up to the referee.)

GW1 Notes: No Poison Claws or Fangs in GW1. Plant:  25. Poison Throwing Thorns: These are (1-100) poisoned versions of throwing thorns, covered with poison of random intensity. Growth of replacement thorns takes a minimum of one week.

Plant: 26. Poison Vines: These are non-motile prickly vines. On contact with flesh, they are able to inject their poison (intensity 3-18 (3d6), referee to determine.)

Plant: 10. Contact Poison Sap: Plants with this mutation have, in their sap, a toxic substance of random poison intensity. Once the plant has been damaged and the sap exposed, the poison works on contact with flesh (it does not need to get into the victim).

Poisonous Thorns [Poison Thorns, Throwing Thorns, Contact Poison Sap]

Plant; Automatic, SL

Gamma Dawn

(Appears in MA1 & GW1 as several mutations, see Poison)

The plant's body is covered with small thorns. Anyone making strong contact with the plant (striking or wrestling it) is scratched. These thorns will penetrate clothing, but not leather or heavy fur garments. A skeinsuit blocks it completely. The thorns are coated in a poisonous dew that has intensity of 5 + SL (i.e. S(5 + SL)/T6). The dew is constantly secreted, but dries out in half an our, making it impractical to transfer the poison to weapons or to try and store it. The type of poison (destructive, debilitative, paralytic) is chosen randomly.

2 mutations in GD but reading these 2 they could have been one I think.

Pyro/Cryokinesis [Thermakinesis, Crypgenics]

Mental; Activated, SL

Gamma Dawn

(MA1 & GW1)

The mutant has the ability to change the temperature in an area. Roll a d100. On a 1-50, he has the ability to increase (pyrokinesis) the temperature. On a 6-8, he can decrease (cryokinesis) it. On a 9-10 he can do both (thermakinesis). The power has a range of 25 meters, plus 5 meters per SL, and affects either a localized area 2 meters in diameter or a single object no larger than 2 meters. This object can be a person, or an object on or held by the person.

By concentrating for one turn, the mutant heats (or cools) an area, causing d5 points of damage to any creatures within the area. On the second round of concentration, the damage rises to 2d5 (no flames yet). On each successive round pyrokinesis or cryokinesis causes an additional d5 of damage. When it reaches 10d5 points of damage, it no longer increases, but can continue at that level until the power is shut off.

The mutant can concentrate for 5 + SL rounds. After that he must rest the power for three hours. If his concentration is broken during the buildup of power, the rest requirement takes affect.

Mutants with pyro/cryokinesis take half damage (rounded up) from heat/cold attacks (not including lasers).

Round                  Damage                  Round                  Damage

Once a flammable object reaches 3d5 (3 rounds), it ignites. Once ignited, flammable materials continue to burn without the application of pyrokinesis. With cryokinesis, water freezes at the 3d5 limit. Frozen liquids will then burst sealed containers.

If pyro/cryokinesis is applied to an object, a creature holding that object must make a LOG check in order to force himself to maintain his hold on the object. In the first round, there is no penalty to the roll. For each round after, the penalty increases by +5 per round.

A heated (or cooled) object may be voluntarily dropped at any time. If the object heated cannot be dropped, as is the case with armor, then the person wearing it takes damage s if he were in a heated area.

MA1 Notes: Mental: 16. Pyrokinesis: The ability to cause living matter, or the product of living matter to suffer heat damage and eventually burst into fire. On the first melee turn 1 of burning damage is done (not necessarily fire) and through undisturbed con concentration up to 10 dice of damage can be accomplished in the 10th melee turn with the referee deciding when the actual fire starts. There is a range limitation 25 meters for this mutation to be effective.

Mental: 17. Cryogenics: This mutation uses the same limitations as Pyrokinesis except applies to a freezing power. The use of this mutation for 10 melee turns will cause complete freezing of an object or being.

GW1 Notes: Mental: 4. Cryokinesis: This is the ability to cause living matter, water, or anything else that will freeze, to suffer cold damage and possibly freeze solid (referee’s discretion). On the first melee turn, 1 die (d6) of damage is done, and through undisturbed concentration, up to 10 dice (10d6) of damage may be inflicted on the 10^th melee turn by a mutant with cryokinesis. The effective range of this mutation is 25 meters.

Mental: 35. Pyrokinesis: This is the ability to cause living matter or anything that is reasonably flammable, such as wood, or plastic, to suffer heat damage and eventually burst into flame. On the first melee turn 1 die (d6) of damage is done (not necessarily fire) and may be inflicted on the 10^th melee turn by a mutant with pryokinesis. The referee determines when and if a fire starts. The effective range of the mutation is 25 meters.

Physical; Automatic, no SL

Gamma Dawn

(MA1 & GW1)

The character has quills, like those of a porcupine, all over his body. The player instead can choose to have ridges of spines along his back, arms, legs and tail (if he has one). The mutant can fire 1d5 quills each round like darts using the small, pressurized sacs at the base of each. Each quill does 1d5 damage and has a range of five meters.

Spines cannot be fired, but make the mutant a formidable unarmed combatant. In unarmed combat, he does 1d5 extra damage per blow. When struck by an unarmed opponent, that attacker gets harmed by the spines for 1d5 damage. Grappling or wrestling the character (quills or spines) results in 1d5 automatic attacks, for 1d5 damage each. Mutated Species with this mutation suffer a -10 penalty on racial reaction rolls.

MA1 Notes: Physical: 9. Quills: These are usually along the arms or legs and serve mainly to prevent contact with the skin by other beings (treat the touch of each quill as doing dagger damage) or they may be thrown for short ranges, (1-10 feet).

GW1 Notes: Quills/Spines Physical: 36. These defensive weapons usually cover the mutant’s arms or legs. Treat the touch of each quill as doing dagger damage to the victim. Some mutants may be able to throw their quills a short distance (up to 3 meters). Spines are larger and stronger than quills. Each spine does 1-12 (d12) points of damage if it strikes a target, and these can be thrown in the same manner. Growth of replacement quills or spines takes a minimum of one week.
