MUTATIONS
Mutations play a very important part in GAMMA WORLD. Without them, there would
be no game (duh).
The Mutation descriptions below are not all-inclusive. There may be things
about them that can only be discovered through play. If you have any ideas or
questions that are not covered, your GM will have to make a ruling.
Whenever you see "concentration", take that to mean that nothing strenuous can
be undertaken, nor can damage be suffered. These will break the concentration.
Wherever you see "at all times", it means whenever the Character is awake or
conscious.
Some Mutations will have frequency, duration, or range limitations. These will
be noted. If not noted, the limit does not exist (unless your GM rules
otherwise).
Some Mutations can be chosen multiple times, at the GM's discretion.
If your Character's race already has something that is available as a Mutation,
you can purchase that Mutation and have two of them, or twice the effect.
All Characters with Mutations will have a Mutational "twitch". The GM can
randomly decide that a Character's Mutation has uncontrollably "flexed" and
been used. The results, while unpredictable, can liven up the game.
If a Mutation lists additions or subtractions to Stats, those count toward the 65
points which new Characters begin with.
Mutations are listed by category:
1 Point Mutations
,
2 Point Mutations
, and
3 Point Mutations
.
1 POINT MUTATIONS
-
INCREASED BALANCE: Character takes 2 off of each DEX roll (not counting attack
or defense).
-
HEAT GENERATION: Character can cause his hands to heat up to the point of
igniting flammable material or cause 10 pts. damage. This can be done once
every 30 seconds.
-
WINGS: Character has wings. If he weighs more than 160 pounds, only large
avian wings will allow flight. Otherwise, only wing-assisted jumps or glides
can be performed. Referee's discretion on distance and/or height. Character
can carry 2xSTR. For type, roll d6 on chart below;
-
Soft Wing: Roll again: 1-3) Butterfly, 4-6) Moth
-
Membranous: Roll again: 1-2) Fly, 3-4) Bee, 5-6) Wasp
-
Concealed Membranous: As 2, but with Partial Carapace covering wings
-
Mammalian: Roll again: 1-3) Bat, 4-6) Gliding
-
Avian: Type is Referee's Choice
-
Choose Your Own.
-
LIGHT GENERATION
: Character can generate a globe of light anywhere within 15 yards. This can
be maintained at all times, even during combat. A flash can be generated,
blinding all facing it (friend or foe) for 5 rounds. This can be done once
every 20 rounds. If character also has
LIGHT MANIPULATION
, a 10 pt. laser can be generated once every 5 rounds. Character cannot have
PHOTOSYNTHETIC SKIN
Mutation. Character has a fear of being in the dark for more than 10 minutes,
and will generate light to go to sleep. The light will extinguish 15 minutes
after the Character goes to sleep.
-
MODIFIED BODY PARTS
: Roll d6 on chart below to determine which parts are modified;
-
eyes
-
ears
-
arms
-
internal organs
-
hands
-
feet
-
legs
-
GM's choice
-
MULTIPLE BODY PARTS: Character has more of a body part than others of his
species. Roll on chart for MODIFIED BODY PARTS to determine which.
-
NEW BODY PARTS: Character has a body part that is new to his species. It does
not have to be found in another species, it can be something completely new to
nature (organic laser, magnetic skin, etc.).
-
WALL CLIMBING: Character has hundreds of tiny barbs on the palms and soles. He
can climb on any surface that has texture. He cannot climb or hang upside down
and must use both hands and both feet (bare) to climb. He can carry a burden
equal to 1.5 his STR in pounds when climbing. These barbs are useless for
attack.
-
PARTIAL CARAPACE: Character's skin covering his neck and back is hard (like
fingernails) and jointed. This has separate Hit Points equal to 1/4 his normal
HP. It regenerates at 4 points per day regardless of activity.
-
INCREASED SPEED: Character has the ability to move at 2-4 times the normal
rate for his species (roll d4, reroll 1's, and multiply his
Base Movement
by the die roll). This is due to his metabolism being 99% efficient. The
character gives off almost no waste. Anything that is not poisonous can
provide nutrition (dirt, leaves, etc.). The die roll is also the number of
attacks per round he gets, regardless of his DEX score. The ability to move
fast does have a drawback: Any time the Character
Runs
or
Sprints
, he must make a successful DEX roll or have a mishap. He may trip, or run
into something (overshooting his stopping point), or some such happening.
Character does not sweat, so overheating is a danger if the Character exherts
himself for very long.
-
POISON GLANDS: Character has poison glands in his jaw. The poison is
transmitted through enlarged, hollow incisors. The Poison will paralyze his
victim autonomic system for 1d4hours. Good for one bite, the poison

-
SOUND IMITATION: Character can imitate perfectly any sound or voice that he has
heard in the past 24 hours.
-
ULTRA-VISION: Character has the ability to see in the ultra-violet range.
There is no penalty for darkness. Intense sunlight causes 10 pts. damage per
hour of exposure because this character is an albino. If Character is fully
clothed and head is covered, there will be no damage.
-
INFRA-VISION: Character has the ability to see any heat-producing source. Fog,
mist and the like will affect him like it would anyone. Intense blasts of heat
at close range (lasers, explosions, fires, etc.) require the character to make
a DEX save (to close his eyes) or be blinded for 1d10 minutes.
-
SPINES: Character has 2d10 spines growing from spinal column and one from each
elbow. They each do 7 pts. damage in combat. The spines have 20 separate HP
each. Broken spines regrow in two weeks.

miles (distinguishing individuals at that range).
-
INCREASED HEARING: Character can detect and identify all sounds within 60 yards
if he is facing within 45 degrees of the sound. He can't be surprised while
awake unless a sound dampening factor (brick wall, etc.) muffles the sound.
His ears will be larger than normal for his species, and canted forward a
little. He suffers double damage from Sonic Blast. Three consecutive Sonic
Blasts (within a three round period) will deafen the Character permanently.
Nearby explosions will do 1d10 damage (whether or not the blast hurt the
Character normally).
-
INCREASED TOUCH: Sensitive finger nerves let character feel the structure of
objects or people. He gets a benefit of 2 to his die roll when figuring out an
artifact. Character cannot have any other hand modifying Mutation.
-
INCREASED SMELL: Character can identify odors up to 60 yards away on calm days.
On windy days, it is 30 yards upwind and 90 yards downwind. He can follow a
trail less than a week old over non-watery surfaces. After "studying" someone
or something for an hour, he can tell where they or it have been in the last
week. Stong, pungent odors cause the Character to vomit for 1d4 minutes or
until the odor is no longer present.
-
RADIATED EYES: Character's eyes can emit, once every 15 rounds, Int. 1d10
radiation up to 10 yards.
-

-
QUILLS: Character's back is completely covered with long quills. The "coat"
gives 5 points of protection. They can be raised, doing 5 points damage each
on contact, coming off of the Character, and 2 points per round until removed,
as they work themselves into the victim. They are serrated and removing them
does another 5 points each. Spines regrow in 1 week.
-
MENTAL SHIELD: Character's WILL is increased by 4 whenever defending. He
automatically senses any active Mental-based Mutation within 30 yards.
-
PRECOGNITION: Character can sense impending danger. By concentrating, he can
see 1/2d10 minutes into the future, but the exact meaning may be unclear.
-
BEGUILING: This makes all opponents within 15 yards use their least powerful
weapons or powers when attacking the Character. The mutation last 5 rounds,
and the "hit" creatures cannot be affected again for 24 hours.
-
LOW NEURAL RESISTANCE: Character's neural impulses are faster, giving him
heightened learning capabilities (
Skills
are learned in 1/2 the required time, as is Familiarity) and perfect recall.
He gets a benefit of 2 to artifact rolls, and -1 to defense rolls.
-
ILLUSION GENERATION
: Character can project illusions having any olfactory, visual, and auditory
characteristics he wants to any spot he can see. All others seeing the

established with another.
-
CLAIRVOYANCE: Character can see events taking place in another location up to a
mile away by tapping into a mind present at the location. This requires a
successful Mental Attack.
-

a benefit of 2 when figuring out Artifacts.
-
QUAKE GENERATION: Character can generate a linear earthquake along a line 3
yards wide and 30 yards long, extending out from him in any chosen direction.
All in the line must make a DEX check or fall down. This can be done twice per
day. It is not powerful enough to damage trees or buildings. Character will
have some sort of unnecessary motion he will perform to use the Mutation. The
movement is purely psychological, but the Character will be completely unable
to use this if he is unable to perform this movement.
-
PHYSICAL REFLECTION: Character's skin deflects even the most intense form of
any one type of energy above the environmental norm, thus making him immune
(with the noted exceptions) to that type of damage. Roll d4 below to determine
type;
-
Thermal (lasers do 1/2)
-
Electro-magnetic (lasers do 1/2)
-
Kinetic (penetrating/cutting attacks are halved)
-
Choose one.

, he cannot have choices 1 or 2.
-
RADAR: Character can generate electro-magnetic waves to navigate in darkness.

Character's speed is reduced by half. Character cannot have FUR mutation.
-
PHOTOSYNTHETIC SKIN
: Character produces his own food when exposed to sunlight (or equivalent). He
heals 3 times faster than normal when in sunlight. He takes only half damage

attack per 2 rounds. He suffers 1 die additional damage from cold or heat
based weapons. Chlorophyl in his body makes his blood (but not his skin) green.
-
SONIC BLAST
: Character can emit a very intense blast of sound. The damage is 15 pts. to

he does eat. If he also has
MASS ABSORPTION
, he can regenerate body parts in 10 rounds.
-
INVISIBILITY: Character's body possesses cells that may be altered so that
light passes through them, making him invisible. As long as he doesn't move,
he is completely invisible. If he moves, there is a "ripple effect" at the
edges of his body (a-la PREDATOR). While moving, he is only 85% invisible. An
invisible creature also masks its heat source. Concentration is required to
make the body invisible and does 5 points of one time damage. It lasts until
the character stops it or concentration is needed for something else. He can
attack while invisible, but defending will make him visible. If the character
is rendered unconscious or dead in this state, his body remains invisible. It
does not affect clothing or items.

Character loses 3 points STR for 2 hours after using this ability.
-
DOPPLEGANGER ABILITY: Character can change himself into any living thing he
touches. He will gain or shed body mass if necessary. Gained mass will be
achieved by absorbing the ground. Shed mass will be absorbed by the ground.
He gains all abilities, including Mutations, of the imitated form, but keeps only his
own Mental-based Mutations. The change lasts until the character resumes his natural
form or changes into another. He cannot change into an inorganic object. Androids
are considered organic for this purpose. If the character stays in the imitated form for
more than two days, he loses his own Mutations and is stuck in the imitated form.
-
TOTAL HEALING (SELF): Character can heal all damage to his own body in three
rounds. It will also cure all poisons and bacteria/viruses. This can be done
twice per week, but not more than once in any 48 hour period. This will not

MASS ABSORPTION
: Character can absorb any material and convert it to body mass, growing in
size by the absorbed amount. He can absorb up to three times his body mass.
The mass can be held indefinitely and "shed" at any time. Shedding the excess
mass causes 20 pts. damage. If rendered unconscious, Character's body
automatically sheds the excess. Character can use this power to permanently
replace lost limbs in 10 rounds if he also has
BIO-MASS REDISTRIBUTION
.
-
E. M. DISRUPTION
: Character can emit, for five rounds, a 10 yard field which interferes with
electrical equipment. No non-shielded robot can function in range. This can
