A roll of 2 means a Mutant. Born with powers, either as a result of a previous accident to their parents, or just dumb luck. An Age roll for this origin of 1d12 + 15 gives 8. So a 23 year old Mutie.<\/p>\n<p>Next, number of powers. A d100 roll, the lower the more powers. Most likely is 3. A roll of 11 gives 4 powers. Lucky characters might get more.<\/p>\n<p>A character with more than one power has the option of taking all their remaining rolls as automatic re-rolls of the first result. Otherwise, rolling a power twice it increase the intensity, twice damage, half cost, double duration etc., pick one.<\/p>\n<p>A player may also take a weakness (the glowing green rock clause) and get an additional power. Nifty anti-munchkin note: The GM decides the weaknesses and doesn&#8217;t have to reveal all of them.<\/p>\n<p>So, rolling on the Mutant Powers table, the first is 98. Which is Organic Power.<\/p>\n<p>Which means the character can choose a particular animal or plant whose powers or abilities they wish to imitate. They then receive 2d4 adaptations. Some examples listed include Ant, Cactus, Eel, Fox, Mantis and Rose.<\/p>\n<p>2d4 gives 3 and 4 for 7 adaptions.<\/p>\n<p>Time to cogitate on those and work out if the other three powers should also be this.<\/p>\n<p>Being not strong, maybe a clever, sneaky, smart type animal or plant. Not that plants are too smart.<\/p>\n<p>and probably funny looking, with that charisma.<\/p>\n<p>So, I believe we shall debut:<\/p>\n<p>The Fruit Bat.<\/p>\n<p>so assigning the other three power rolls to Organic Powers we get adaption rols of :<br \/>\n1+3, 2+4, 2+1 for another 13 adaption slots to go along with the original 7, a total of 20.<\/p>\n<p>Generally the examples given are each adaption can give a half strength power copy.<\/p>\n<p>e.g. 1\/2 Heigtened Agility, 1\/2 Flight, etc.<\/p>\n<p>So making it easy, we&#8217;ll go for this :-<\/p>\n<p>20 Adaptions<\/p>\n<p>2 Enhanced Intelligence * 1\/2 (+2d10) (1,10 = +11)<br \/>\n2 Heighted Speed * 1\/2<br \/>\n8 Heighted Agility * 1\/2 (+4d10) (5,1,7,10 = +23)<br \/>\n2 Ultraviolet Vision * 1\/2<br \/>\n2 Ultrasonic Hearing * 1\/2<br \/>\n4 Flight * 1\/2<\/p>\n<p>So, currently<\/p>\n<p>The Fruit Bat<\/p>\n<p>Abilties<\/p>\n<p>02 Strength<br \/>\n32 Agility<br \/>\n03 Charisma<br \/>\n26 Intelligence<br \/>\n10 Stamina<br \/>\n11 Public Standing<br \/>\n11 Ego<br \/>\n00 Luck<\/p>\n<p>Organic Powers &#8211; Fruit Bat<\/p>\n<p>Enhanced Intelligence +11<br \/>\nHeightened Speed<br \/>\nEnhanced Agilty + 23<br \/>\nUltraviolet Vision<br \/>\nUltrasonic Hearing<br \/>\nFlight (extendable wings)<br \/>\nBat Faced, small for a human<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the Ability Modifier tables<\/p>\n<p>Strength 02 is Puny, -1 HT (Hit Points), -3 DD (Hand to Hand Damage Mod)<br \/>\nAgility 32 is speedy, movement rate 80m, +05% Accuracy, +3 HT, +2 DD<br \/>\nCharisma 03 is Ugly, which Reaction to heroes is -10% and Villains, +10%<br \/>\nIntelligence 26 is Brilliant, +4 HT, +2 DD, +30% Accuracy, 9d8% to detect entrances and 8d10% to detect trap (3,6,8,6,7,3,7,2,5 = 47%) and (1,8,4,9,3,4,10,5 = 44%)<br \/>\nEgo 11 is Average Superbeing, 10% Compulsory Retreat (if you lose half HT or more) and 30% Willing retreat. +05 HP (hit probability) Retreating when not supposed to drops your ego and various successes\/failures impact it.<br \/>\nPublic Standing 11 is &#8211; Reaction DM<\/p>\n<p>Hit Points<\/p>\n<p>Formula is 1\/2 * SA + 1d10 + LK + Exp + Modifiers (currently no Experience, need 40 points to get to Level 1)<br \/>\nSo, 5 + 2 + (-1,+3,+4 = 6) = 13 HT<\/p>\n<p>Action Potential<\/p>\n<p>Formula is ST + 1\/2 IQ + SA + 1\/2 AG + LK + Exp<br \/>\nSo, 2 + 13 + 10 + 16 = 31<\/p>\n<p>Characters can train over time to increase abilities up to 20, if a Self-Developed origin, then up to 25.
