Re: [HOE] Possible new Hinderance for Muties (if interested)



Ooooo... I like it! I think I may use that. Which mutation table would you use?

I am not sure if this has been discussed since I am new to the list.  If it has, well, just disregard and I will try again.  If it hasn't, then well... feel free to try it out.

Hinderance
 
Entropic Evolution (-5)
 
    Entropy is the amount of disorder in a system.  Chaos is the lack of order or total amount of randomness.  Darwin has said that what cannot adjust to change doesn't survive, thus stress leads to evolution.  Well, your mutie would find that fascinating, if it wasn't happening to him constantly.  In other words, you are evolution's guinea pig. 
    The mutie with this hinderance must draw a card at the beginning of every session.  She then gains that mutation until the next session.  These are not cumulative mutations.  The old mutation disappears as soon as the new one has started.   Maybe the mutant just lost the extra limbs or maybe she entered a cocoon.  Whatever happened, she woke up (or maybe she went through it kicking and screaming) and became a new mutant.   The mutant must make an Incredible (11) Vigor check or pass out.  Anyone watching the transformation must make a Hard (9) guts check (Friends and well-wishers must make an Onerous (7) since they know the that the changes will occur.)  If a Black Joker is picked during character creation, that is the STARTING mutation and summarily discarded during the next session. 
    A word about Jokers:  If a Black Joker is drawn for a session, then well, break out the dustpans and baggies because your mutie just became primordial stew.  Red Jokers allow the Mutie to pick his next mutation and gets to enjoy it.

Like I said, if that has been used, sorry for the repost (and long one at that).  If not, well... I will try to make a few more suggestions.
