Physical Qualities

Similar to that of a human but with obvious differences, in most cases the mutant's physical body may be deformed or their characteristics may be more animalistic although there are few mutants with no obvious differences apart from their extraordinary and in-human abilities.

Mutant Adventurers

Nearly all Classes suit the mutant race due to the variety offered by the many options given by the race.

Logan is a mutant barbarian. He wandered the frozen north and found his home amognst a tribe of savage natives. His healing factor, claws and metal skeletal have made the tribe consider him their new champion and he has found a simple if enjoyable life.

Scott is a mutant warlord. He trains every day with his optic blasts and psionic talents to better mutant cooperation between other races. He has mentored and lead three adventuring teams to spread the word of his message and so far it seems to be a success.

Roleplaying a Mutant

When creating a Mutant adventurer, here are a few points to consider.

Roll for dramatic and mixed experiences: When creating a mutant it is required to roll for traits (unless your gm says otherwise) to create a more real and dramatically spontaneous experience for you, your companions and your GM. Not to mention the obvious added bonuses.

Mutant Characteristics: Similar to that of a human but with obvious differences, in most cases the mutant's physical body may be deformed or their characteristics may be more animalistic although there are few mutants with no majorly obvious differences apart from their extraordinary and in-human abilities.
