Rathorc's New Mutants

[taalismn]

Hmmm...to appeal to the idea of rapid growth, I'd give it the options of Rapid Regeneration above and beyond the regular healing abilities ...(buyable with Bio-E)
Bonuses to Speed(buyable with Bio-E)
Maybe the ability to change its size class temporarily through rooting and drawing in water...temporarily boosting its SDC and hit points, but at the expense of possible dodge bonuses and speed... (again, buyable with Bio-E)

Bordering on Super Abilities might also be the ability to spawn little copies of itself...mindless little 'kudzu runners' that act like dumb little pets...Or that could be handled simply under Fecundity---Bonuses to produce offspring...

[Rathorc Lemenger]

I'll fix it, thanks.

Signed,
Rathorc Lemenger,
President of Lemenger Biologics.

[taalismn]

Stats on the Pod Runners?
Range of control, if any?
And how often can the Kudzu spawn them?

[Rathorc Lemenger]

I'll try to do them up, once I figured it out.

Rathorc Lemenger,

Egad....you HAVE been a busy little hydro-retention structure-building aquatic rodent, haven't you?

[Rathorc Lemenger]

Yep *Nods happily while rubbing hads together and chuckling evily*. Although, I'm gonna TRY to work on some mutants based off of Extinct creatures. Although, theres going to be no more Plant mutants for a long time.

Okay, that Octiffin's a scientific chimera in every sense of the word...A sure winner in the Cthulu Kennel Club's annual pet show(alongside Innsmouth Terriers, Show Shoggoths, and Miniature Mi-Go).

[Rathorc Lemenger]

Thanks, Taalismn. I figured that you'd more then likely like it. When I started to do it up I thought "Hmm how wierd can I go without going too far out there?" Then I figured it out: why not go for something that seems like a really insane mad scientist would create if he (or she) read too much Cthulu/Lovecraft books and voila, the Octiffin.

But when the Crash happened, the remaining scientists that had remained on the island to study the effects on the local flora and fauna.

I know skunks have been done already, but here's a fun factoid for you folks out there;
Skunk spray is flammable, and as an aerosol, potentially explosive.
So if you tend to wander outside in the dark with a cigarette in your mouth, and you can't see what's in front of your, or what's making that noise just ahead....you might wanna spit that ignition source, just in case....

[Rathorc Lemenger]

Can't see why it ISN'T possible.

Signed,
