NEW MUTANT WEAPONS

NEW MUTANT WEAPONS (58)

BITE (Specialized)
While Teeth or Tusks are often the main cause of damage from a Bite attack, there are a few specialized bites where the damage is caused by other features. Cardiac Mouth: Balooning (10 BIO-E)
Technically not a mouth, but an external stomach, this attack allows the creature to expand their mouth, allowing them to digest prey much larger than normally possible. A target (1/4, 1/5, 1/6, or 1/10th) of the attacker's size can be swallowed on a successful strike. Targets who are swallowed take damage as per Digestive Fluid.
Cardiac Mouth: Proboscoid (20 BIO-E)
This special version of the cardiac mouth allows the creature to inject their mouth into another creature in order to feed. Because of the hydraulic nature of the attack, it can be used to penetrate hard shells or exoskeletons. On a successful roll above the creature's A.R., their shell or exoskeleton has been pierced, causing 1D4 damage. Unfortunately for that creature, the character can now feed on their soft internal flesh and organs, doing 1D6 damage per melee attack used to feed.
Diseased Bite (20 BIO-E)
Must make a saving throw vs Disease or suffer the following penalties 2D6x10 minutes after being bitten; Reduce speed by half and -20% to skill performance, -2 to initiative, -1 to strike, parry and dodge for 2D6 hours.
Distending Jaws (15 BIO-E)
The character is able to distend both its jaw and its stomach to enormous size, allowing it to swallow prey up to twice as large as its entire body. The teeth are angled inwards to prevent objects from escaping the mouth.
Entangling Suction (10 BIO-E)
This provides an attractive force equivalent to a P.S. of 20 for a range of 20 feet (6 m). Characters caught in this suction must make a contested strength check (1D20 + P.S. attribute) or be sucked toward the mouth of the creature.
Leeching Bite (10 BIO-E)
This allows the character to stick to virtually any surface. Of course, the primary method of use is to leech onto another creature in order to drain blood. The strength of the suction action is equivalent to the character's P.S. This bite does little damage (1D4) by itself, but is used to drain the affected creature of it's blood. Blood draining does hit point damage to the target, with creatures Size Level 4 and under losing a single point per melee round, Size Level 5-9 creatures losing 1D4 hit points per melee round, and creatures larger than Size Level 10 losing 1D6 hit points per melee round.
Pharyngeal Bite (10 BIO-E)
Also of note is their unique set of secondary jaws, known as pharyngeal jaws, which are found in the back of the throat and, like the xenomorph aliens from Alien, be projected forward to further grasp prey, which is then dragged down the esophagus for swallowing. 3D6 damage

CLAWS
These are additional types of Claws that weren't included in ATB2.
Cheliped (2 BIO-E Small, 5/10 BIO-E Crushing): 2D4 or 3D6 damage. Technically, just about any sort of claw is a cheliped, however, in this case we're referring to the style of claw found on scorpions, crabs, and certain insects.

Denticled Suckers (10 BIO-E)
The suckers of all decapods have horny rings. These rings often carry sharp claw-like teeth and in some species these have been modified into hooks. The advantages of hooks are uncertain. They could be designed for sinking into soft-bodied prey, such as other squid, or they could act as grappling hooks for hard-body spiny prey where suckers would be ineffective. 1D4 damage (cuttlefish), 1D6 damage (squid)

Denticles
Denticles are scales which have a teeth-like structure which commonly acts as sandpaper, abrading whatever it rubs against. These types of scales are commonly found in cartilaginous fishes, primarily sharks and generally point backward, reducing drag and noise caused by swimming. However, when something is rubbed across them in the opposite direction they act as teeth, doing damage.
Light Denticles (5 to 10 BIO-E, varies) 1D4 damage
Moderate Denticles (10 BIO-E) 1D6 damage
Heavy Denticles (15 BIO-E) 2D4 damage

Digestive Fluid (15-35 BIO-E )
Acts as a mild organic acid, 4D6 damage each melee round for four melees if the victim is bitten. If the victim is swallowed, the damage is applied each melee round until the victim is freed or digested (i.e. dead).

Digging Saw Blade Nose (15 BIO-E)
2D6 damage. Also provides Digging ability, as per ATB2, page 69.

ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE
Kill Discharge (20 BIO-E)
Damage: Does 6D6 S.D.C. damage. A successful saving throw of 18 or higher means that the person has fought off the effect and is unimpaired except losing initiative and one melee action. Roll to save against each successful strike.
Paralyzing Discharge (10 BIO-E)
Damage: Victims are dazed, -10 to strike, parry and dodge, and reduce attacks per melee round by half for 2D4 melees. A successful saving throw of 16 or higher means that the person has successfully fought off the effect and is unimpaired except loses initiative and one melee action. Roll to save against each successful strike.
Stun Discharge (5 BIO-E)
Damage: Victims must save vs non-lethal poison or suffer a -4 on initiative, and -3 to strike, parry, and dodge. Duration 1D6 melee rounds. Roll to save against each successful strike.

Feeding Horns (15 BIO-E): 1D6 damage. These unique limbs are actually a development of the pectoral fin, and are used to direct objects into the mouth.

Irukandji Syndrome
Make a saving throw vs non-lethal poison or suffer the following penalties, P.S. and P.P. reduced by half, all combat bonuses, attacks per melee, and hit points re also reduced by half, -20% on skill performance for 4D6 hours. If the character exerts themselves they must make a saving throw vs lethal poison or take 1D10 damage for 6D6 melee rounds. A successful saving throw (either) reduced effects by half.

POISON
Note: While the damages listed are often generalized for the family, there is some variation in lethality among specific species, particularly in the case of snakes, where the damages are based on the average lethality of the toxins used. GMs wishing to increase (or decrease) the lethality for specific species are encouraged to do so, however the upper limit for snakes is that of the Sea Snake as this represents the upper limit of known lethality for snakes (elapids in this case).

Poisonous Musk Glands (15 BIO-E): Creatures that are 1/3 smaller Size Level than the Anaconda (rounding down) are susceptible to these poisonous glands, which require a saving throw vs lethal poison. Failure means the creature will asphyxiate after 2D6+20 minutes.
Spit Poisonous Goo (15 BIO-E): Spitting Spiders are named such because they spit a fluid mixture of webbing and poison which immobilizes it's victim by congealing on contact into a sticky and poisonous mass. To ensure that the victim is ensnared they sway from side to side, allowing them to cover the target in a Z-shaped pattern. Once someone is hit with this stuff they'll discover that pulling it off is useless, it just keeps sticking to hands, feet, clothing, etc. It will also stick to cement, cars, telephone polls, other characters and anything else someone might use to try and scrape it off. Every melee round after being hit with the poisonous goo, the victim will have to make TWO saving throws. The first is a save vs Entanglement, this is a roll on percentile dice under the victim's P.P. Failing a save means that the character is completely immobile until they can break free or the elasticity is neutralized. Characters with a Beastly Strength of 35+ or Crushing Strength of 24+ can break free within one melee round. Characters with a Brute Strength of 24 or better can break free withing 6 melee rounds of concentrated effort. The goo will stick to anything and keeps it's elasticity for about 2 hours. It is waterproof (although it can be neutralized with kerosene, gasoline, alcohol and other chemical solvents) and it can't be cleaned off, it just has to wear off. The second saving throw is vs non-lethal poison, to avoid being paralyzed for 3D6 melee rounds. Range is 200 feet.
Spit Paralytic Poison (15 BIO-E): Range 6.5 feet (1.9 m), blindness if not immediately washed from eyes, 2D6 damage, 1D6 additional damage per each 1D4 melee rounds, successful save leaves eyes blurry (reduce sight range by half, -2 to initiative, strike, parry, and dodge)

Range: 4 feet (1.2 m) plus 2 feet (0.6 m) per level of experience. Saving Throw: Potential victims get to save vs stun attack. A successful save means no damage or effect. A failed saving throw means the creature is affected in the following way: 2D6 damage underwater or 1D4 in air, plus there is a 60% chance of being knocked unconscious for 1D4 melee rounds. If the victim manages to remain conscious but fails to save, it has a splitting headache and is disoriented, -6 to initiative, strike, parry, dodge, and speed, attacks per melee round and skill performance are reduced by half. Additionally the creature's equilibrium is temporarily fried, it can't tell direction, depth, speed, or which way is up or down for 1D4 melee rounds.
