Mutations

Benefit: Once per day, as a free action, you can temporarily increase either your Strength or your Dexterity by 1d4+1 points. The increase lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + your Constitution modifier.

Bioluminescence

You glow in the dark a colour of your choice.

MP Cost: 1.

Benefit: When you are in the dark you can choose to glow thus providing a natural light source for those that do not see well.

Blood Hunger (drawback)

You crave the taste of blood. Moreover, you need to drink blood to survive.

MP Cost: 1.

Drawback: You must drain a pint of blood from a living creature once every 24 hours. Doing so is an attack action, and you can only drain blood from a willing, helpless, or dying (but not dead) creature. The bitten creature takes normal damage from the bite attack plus an extra 1d6 points of damage from the blood loss.

If you go 24 hours without consuming blood, you take 1d4 points of Constitution damage. Drinking a pint of blood cures the ability damage caused by blood deprivation in 1d6 rounds. Ability damage caused by blood deprivation cannot be restored through natural healing.

Special: You must have a natural bite attack to take this drawback.

Brittle Bones (drawback)

Your bones weaken such that you can no longer withstand hard or sudden impacts.

MP Value: 4.

Drawbacks: Your massive damage threshold decreases by 3. In addition, you take an additional 1d6 points of damage from a fall.

Special: You cannot take this drawback if you have the Skeletal Reinforcement mutation.

Chem Dependancy (drawback)

You rely on a medical compound called neutrad to survive.

MP Value: 6.

Drawback: If you go 24 hours without taking a dose of neutrad you must make a successful Fortitude save (DC 15) or take 1 point of Strength damage and 1 point of Constitution damage. Taking a dose of neutrad cures the ability damage caused by neutrad deprivation in 1d6 rounds. Ability damage caused by neutrad deprivation cannot be restored through natural healing.

Claws (minor)

Your hands mutate into sharp claws.

MP Cost: 1.

Benefit: You gain a single claw attack that deals slashing damage dependent on your size: Small 1d4, Medium-size 1d6, Large 1d8. If you get multiple attacks in a round, you can strike with multiple claws. Your claws are treated as natural weapons and do not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Having claws does not adversely affect your manual dexterity.

Combat Fear (drawback)

Due to a chemical imbalance in your brain, you are gripped by an inexplicable fear whenever you face a dangerous or frightening situation.

MP Value: 4.

Drawback: After initiative is rolled but before you take your first action in combat, make a Will saving throw (DC 15). If you fail the Will save, you are shaken for the rest of the encounter, taking a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. If the save succeeds, you overcome your moment of fear and negate the ill effects.

Cybernetic Dependancy (drawback)

Warp exposure causes your body tissues to degenerate. You rely on a cybernetic implant to repair damage to your body.

MP Value: 6.

Drawback: You need a body repair weave (see Cybernetics) to heal naturally. For you, the body repair weave does not confer its usual benefit (improved natural healing). If the implant is destroyed, you cannot heal damage naturally until it is replaced or repaired.

Darkvision (minor)

You gain darkvision.

MP Cost: 3.

Benefit: You can see in total darkness out to a range of 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only but is otherwise like normal sight.

MP Cost: 5.

Benefit: You gain the blindsight ability out to a range of 60 feet.

Elasticity (major)

You can bend and twist your body in unnatural ways and squeeze through very tight spaces.

MP Cost: 4.

You can absorb impressive amounts of harmful energy.

MP Cost: 4.

Benefit: You gain resistance 10 to two types of energy or resistance 20 to one type of energy, chosen from the following list: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic/concussion.

Your body’s ability to withstand energy damage increases.

MP Cost: 2.

Benefit: You gain resistance 5 to two types of energy or resistance 10 to one type of energy, chosen from the following list: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic/concussion.

Enlarged Form (major)

You grow, becoming an freakishly large specimen of your kind.

MP Cost: 6.

Benefits: You become as large as your size category allows (8 feet tall for Medium-size characters, 4 feet tall for Small characters). However, you function in many ways as if you were one size category larger. Whenever you are subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), you are treated as one size larger when it is advantageous to you. You are also considered to be one size larger when determining whether special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect you. You can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty (for example, a Medium-size character with this mutation can wield a Large weapon one-handed).

This mutation does not change your face or reach.

Exoskeleton (major)

A thick exoskeleton forms over your skin. The exoskeleton usually consists of interlocking plates of bone or chitin covering 90% or more of your body.

MP Cost: 5.

Benefit: You gain a bonus to your natural Damage Reduction bonus of 4. The damage reduction threshold for the exoskeleton is the same as for your current threshold. If you do not currently have a natural damage reduction you gain a natural DR/DRT of 4/+2.

Special: A creature with fur, scales, or the Scaly Armour mutation cannot gain this mutation.

Extra Arms (major)

You grow an additional pair of arms. The extra arms look and behave exactly like your other arms.

MP Cost: 6.

Benefit: As a creature with more than two arms, you gain a +4 mutation bonus on Climb checks 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).

Special: If you have three or more natural claw attacks, you meet the prerequisites for the Multiattack feat (not included in this book). This mutation does not give you Multiattack as a bonus feat, however.

Extra Digits (cosmetic)

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.

Eyestalks

Your eyes are at the end of a pair of long skin-coloured stalks.

MP Cost: 3.

Benefit: You can look in two directions at once without muddling your brain. A character with eyestalks can never be flanked. Additionally the penalty for any two-weapon fighting he engages in is reduced by 1.

Special: Eyestalks are a very difficult mutation to hide; characters with eyestalks suffer a -5 penalty to disguise checks.

Fangs (minor)

Your teeth mutate into vicious fangs.

MP Cost: 1.

Benefit: You gain a vicious bite attack that deals piercing damage dependent on your size: Small 1d4, Medium-size 1d6, Large 1d8. If you get multiple attacks in a round, you can bite multiple times. Your bite is treated as a natural weapon and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Festering Sores (drawback)

Your skin is covered with painful, festering sores.

MP Value: 2.

Drawback: The festering sores are more aggravating than harmful, but they make it especially hard to wear armour. When you wear any type of armour, decrease the armour’s maximum Dexterity bonus by –2 and increase its armour penalty by +4.

Fins (cosmetic)

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.

Force Barrier (minor)

You can generate an electromagnetic force field around yourself to deflect or absorb incoming attacks.

MP Cost: 3.

Benefit: As a free action, you can generate an invisible electromagnetic barrier around yourself that provides a +2 deflection bonus to Defense against incoming attacks. The barrier lasts a number of rounds equal to your current Constitution modifier (minimum 1 round). You can create the force field three times per day.

Special: Portable electronic devices such as auspexes, vox-casters, and headsets temporarily cease to function if held or worn by you while the electromagnetic force barrier is in effect. Force Barrier is never a natural mutation.

Forked Tongue (cosmetic)

You gain a forked tongue like that of a snake. Your new tongue might be a different color and longer than your old one.

Frailty (drawback)

Your body is particularly vulnerable to the ravages of poison, disease, radiation, and other ailments. You also have trouble stabilizing when severely wounded.

MP Cost: 2.

Benefit: You can breathe both air and water. You can operate underwater indefinitely, with no fear of drowning.

Great Horns (minor)

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 an moose.

MP Cost: 1.

Benefit: You gain a single gore attack that deals bludgeoning damage (curled ram horns or moose antlers) or piercing damage (pointed bull horns or one great rhino horn). The amount of damage depends on your size: Small 1d4, Medium-size 1d6, Large 1d8. If you get multiple attacks in a round, you can gore multiple times. Your horns are treated as natural weapons and do not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Your body does not react well to particularly hot or cold temperatures.

MP Value: 1.

Drawback: You take double damage from prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold.

Special: You cannot take this mutation if you have the Lightning Reflexes feat.

Light Sensitivity (drawback)

Your eyes cannot adjust to bright light.

Long Legs (minor)

You can cover more ground than most people due to your unnaturally long legs.

MP Cost: 2.

Benefit: You gain a +5 bonus on movement.

Lost Arm (drawback)

One of your arms withers or gets eaten away, leaving behind a stump.

MP Value: 3.

Drawback: You lose one arm of your choice. You cannot effectively wield weapons that require two hands. In addition, you take a –2 penalty on Climb checks, Swim checks, and grapple checks.

Special: You can replace your lost arm with a cybernetic replacement arm, assuming you can afford it.

Mind-Shield (minor)

The character is potentially a latent-psyker but his mind is completely shielded from psychic intervention. It is not only shielded but deceptive – so a psyker using a read mind ability will simply believe the character is strong willed.

MP Cost: 3.

Benefit: Mind-Shield throws off any kind of mental detection/domination psychic power including detect thought powers and charm powers. Additionally psykers wishing to use Psychic Sense skill on the character must pass a DC 50 skill to recognize him as warp/touched or a mutant.

Special: Mind-Shield is never a natural mutation. Mind-Shield does not increase the DC of disguise checks, it is an undetectable mutation except by the method (Psychic Sense) described above.

You have certain mental deficiencies that make it harder to resist mind-influencing effects.

MP Value: 2.

Drawback: You take a –2 penalty on all Will saves.

Natural Mutation (minor)

One of your mutations is a natural mutation – caused by honest to goodness radiation or simple genetic accident.

MP Cost: 0.5.

Benefit: Select one of your other mutations. That mutation counts as a natural as opposed to a warp-caused mutation. The significance is that the Psychic Sense skill cannot be used to detect it as a mutation.

Pariah (minor)

The character is a Pariah; a mutation found only in humans which occurs when a human is born with no soul. This is extremely frightening to psykers that sense souls because the character feels invisible or untouchable. Even an untrained Pariah can steal the energy from a psyker. Pariahs are the mutants chosen to become the feared Culexus assassins.

MP Cost: 1.

Benefit: A Pariah gets a +6 bonus on saves against psychic attacks and can deal 1d6 points of damage to a psyker simply by succeeding on a touch attack. They can also deal 1d6 damage by grappling a psyker and continue to deal 1d6 for each round that they sustain the grapple.

Special: Pariah is never a natural mutation.

You can regulate the production of pheromones in your body and release them at will, altering the moods of other nearby creatures.

MP Cost: 6.

Benefits: You gain a +4 mutation bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, and Intimidate checks made against creatures within 30 feet of you. This feat is not affected by the normal rule that major mutations inflict a -2 penalty on disguise checks. This mutation is normally undetectable except by Psychic Sense.

Special: You cannot take this mutation if you have the Pheromonal Repulsion drawback.

Pheromone Repulsion (drawback)

You release pheromones that other creatures find repulsive.

MP Value: 1.

Drawbacks: You take a –4 penalty on all Diplomacy and Handle Animal checks made against creatures within 30 feet of you.

Poisonous Blood (drawback)

Your blood is poisonous to your own body. You must take regular doses of antitox to resist the poison’s effects.

MP Value: 6.

Drawback: If you go 24 hours without taking a dose of antitox you must make a successful Fortitude save (DC 15) or take 1d4 points of Constitution damage. Taking a dose of antitox cures the ability damage caused by antitox deprivation in 1d6 rounds. Ability damage caused by antitox deprivation cannot be restored through natural healing.

Prehensile Tail (major)

You grow a tail that can grasp and hold objects.

MP Cost: 4.

Benefits: A prehensile tail grants a +2 mutation bonus on Balance checks. It can also grasp and manipulate a simple object up to one size category smaller than the creature’s size category. 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).

A creature can “hang” from its prehensile tail indefinitely by wrapping it around a larger object, thereby freeing up its other limbs. The prehensile tail isn’t dexterous or strong enough to fire ranged weapons or make melee attacks, however.

Special: A creature that already has a tail cannot gain this mutation.

Prickly Pear (major)

Bony spurs or chitinous spikes protrude from your joints, giving you a jagged profile and making you dangerous to grapple.

MP Cost: 4.

Benefits: You deal 1d4 points of piercing damage to any creature you are grappling or any creature that grapples you. Furthermore, you deal 1d4 points of piercing damage per round to any creature that swallows you using the swallow whole ability.

Rapid Aging (drawback)

Drawback: Double your actual age to get your effective age. Your effective age determines your ability score penalties. You do not gain any of the benefits of aging (increased mental ability scores).

Reduced Speed (drawback)

You are unable to move as quickly as normal due to various mutations and deformities.

MP Value: 3.

Drawback: Reduce your speed by 5 feet. This speed decrease also applies to any natural burrow, climb, fly, or swim speed you might have.

Special: You may take this drawback multiple times. Its effects stack.

Scaly Armour (minor)

Thick, overlapping scales cover your body. The scales are hard but dry to the touch.

MP Cost: 3.

Benefit: You gain a bonus to your natural Damage Reduction bonus of 2. The damage reduction threshold for the exoskeleton is the same as for your current threshold. If you do not currently have a natural damage reduction you gain a natural DR/DRT of 2/+1.

Special: A creature with fur, chitin, or the Exoskeleton mutation cannot gain this mutation.

Scaly Skin (cosmetic)

Your flesh becomes thicker and less porous, giving rise to a thin layer of scales covering your flesh. 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 appearing in patches on your face, neck, torso, and limbs.

Special: A creature with fur, scales, or chitin cannot gain this mutation.

You expel chemicals through your pores to create an inky-black cloud of smoke, engulfing yourself and the surrounding area.

MP Cost: 1.

Benefit: Once per day, as a free action, you can produce a 20-foot-radius cloud of smoke centered on yourself. The cloud is stationary once created. The inky-black smoke obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has onehalf concealment (20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target).

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.

Stinger (major)

A poisonous stinger erupts from some part of your body—usually a needlelike barb protruding from an arm or leg joint, or a scorpionlike stinger on the end of a tail or similar appendage.

MP Cost: 4.

Benefit: Your sharp stinger deals piercing damage dependent on your size: Small 1d4, Medium-size 1d6, Large 1d8. If you get multiple attacks in a round, you can sting multiple times. The stinger is treated as a natural weapon and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. In addition, the stinger injects poison into the target, with effects similar to puffer poison.

Special: This mutation can be used in conjunction with the Tail mutation, but the tail cannot be used as a bludgeoning weapon during the same round the stinger is used.

Tail (minor)

You grow a thick tail. The tail may be fur-covered, slender and whiplike like a rat’s, or scaly like a lizard’s. Although the tail improves your balance and can serve as a weapon, it cannot be used for gripping objects.

MP Cost: 1.

Benefits: The tail provides a +2 mutation bonus on all Balance checks. In addition, you gain a single tail slam 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. Your tail is treated as a natural weapon and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Special: A creature that already has a tail or the Prehensile Tail mutation cannot gain this mutation. This mutation can be used in conjunction with the Stinger mutation.

Telekinetic Mind (major)

You can perform minor telekinetic feats.

MP Cost: 5.

Benefit: As a move action, you can move an unattended object weighing up to 5 pounds up to 15 feet in any direction. Using this ability does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You must be able to see the object you are affecting, however. You must concentrate on the object to move it telekinetically. If your concentration is broken while you are levitating the object (see the Concentration skill description the object falls.

This ability can be used at will.

Special: Telekinetic Mind is never a natural mutation.

Telepathy (major)

You gain limited telepathic ability.

MP Cost: 5.

The creature with which you form the link must have an Intelligence score of 6 or higher, and it must be a willing participant in the link. You can communicate telepathically through the link even if you do not share a common language, but no special control or influence is established as a result of the link. If you and the linked creature move more than 100 feet apart, the telepathic link severs instantly. You can telepathically link with only one creature at a time during any given round, but the ability can be used at will.

Special: Telepathy is never a natural mutation.

Tentacle (major)

A single tentacle grows from your side or back. The tentacle might resemble an octopus’s suckered tentacle or a simple, scaly pseudopod.

MP Cost: 6.

Benefits: The tentacle grants a +4 mutation bonus on grapple checks. It can also grasp and manipulate a simple object of your size category or smaller. For example, a Medium-size creature can use the tentacle to grasp and manipulate a Medium-size or smaller object. The tentacle cannot be used to operate a piece of equipment that requires opposable digits or fine motor control (such as a cell phone).

You can “hang” from your tentacle indefinitely by wrapping it around a larger object, thereby freeing up your other limbs. The tentacle isn’t dexterous enough to fire ranged weapons, but it can be used to make a slam attack. The tentacle’s slam attack deals an amount of bludgeoning damage dependent on your size: Small 1d4, Medium-size 1d6, Large 1d8. If you get multiple attacks in a round, you can strike with the tentacle multiple times. The tentacle is treated as a natural weapon with a 10-foot reach, and attacks made with it do not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Thick Fur Coat (minor)

You grow a thick, protective layer of fur over your body.

MP Cost: 1.

Benefits: You gain a +4 mutation bonus on Fortitude saves against extreme cold temperatures.

Ultraviolet Allergy (drawback)

MP Value: 3.

Drawback: Ultraviolet light (including direct sunlight) burns you for 2d6 points of fire damage per round and causes any light, flammable clothing you are wearing to ignite.

This ability is a mind-affecting compulsion usable three times per day. Using this ability is a free action.

Wall Crawler (minor)

You can walk walls and cling to ceilings like a spider. You have tiny barbs on your hands and feet to facilitate climbing, and your fingers and toes secrete a transparent adhesive that lets you cling to smooth surfaces.

MP Cost: 2.

Benefits: As long as your hands and feet are uncovered, you can climb perfectly smooth, flat, vertical surfaces. In addition, you gain a +4 mutation bonus on all Climb checks. Wearing gloves or footwear reduces the bonus to +2, and wearing both gloves and footwear negates the bonus entirely.

You also gain a +4 mutation bonus on Balance checks when moving a cross a slippery surface. Wearing any kind of footwear negates this bonus.

All creatures within the burst radius are exposed to a moderate degree of warpflux exposure (Fortitude DC 18, incubation period 3d6 hours, initial and secondary damage 1d6–1 Con).
