 During character creation, players choose from a list of over 70 mutations to define a new [[Mutated Human]] character. Players might decide to strategically choose a set of mutations that work well together mechanically. Or, players might pick mutations that fit a theme, for roleplay or experimentation purposes.
-[[Mutated Human]] characters earn additional mutation points as they level up. Players spend mutation points to improve a character's existing mutations, or to purchase new mutations.

 __TOC__
-Mutations can be split into a few main categories:
+== Types of mutations ==
-* '''Morphotypes''': A mutation Changes the types of mutations available to a particular character. Or, in the case of [[Unstable Genome]], randomly mutates into another mutation after some time.
-* '''Physical Mutations''': Positive mutations that physically alter the player internally or externally.
+=== Physical mutations ===
-* '''Mental Mutations''': Positive mutations that are related to controlling things with mental energy.
+Physical mutations alter the shape, appearance, and abilities of the character's body. For example, characters with [[Multiple Legs]] can run and sprint faster, and characters with [[Double-muscled]] have a chance to daze their opponents each time they attack in melee.
-* '''Defects''': Can be of both physical and mental nature and seek to hinder the player in exchange for granting them extra points to spend during character creation.
-* [[:Category:Innate mutations|innate mutations]]: Innate mutations generally reflect a creature's natural traits, rather than a genetic mutation. For example, [[:Category:Snapjaws (faction)|Snapjaws]] all have the [[Heightened Smell]] and [[Night Vision]] traits, reflecting their similarity to real-world pack predators like hyenas. For a list, see [[Innate mutations]].
+=== Mental mutations ===
+Mental mutations allow character's ability to use the strength of their mind and will.
+=== Morphotype ===
+Players can choose a morphotype during character creation. There are three morphotypes:
+{{#cargo_query:table=Mutations|fields=_pageName=Mutation,Cost,Description,Exclusions,CreationCode|where=_pageNamespace='0' AND Type = 'Morphotype' AND Deprecated='0'|order by=Mutation ASC}}
+===== Chimera =====
+Creatures with the Chimera morphotype can only manifest physical mutations, such as [[Multiple Legs]] or [[Double-muscled]].
+If a player buys a new random mutation for a Chimera character, the random mutations are always physical mutations.
+Chimera characters can occasionally choose a physical mutation to ''rapidly advance'', Rapidly advancing a mutation increases its mutation level by 3, without spending any mutation points. Players can choose a mutation to rapidly advance once every five levels, starting at level 5.
+'''Tip:''' Rapid advancement can boost a mutation's level above the normal mutation level cap (10).
+===== Esper =====
+Creatures with the Esper morphotype can only manifest mental mutations, such as [[Sunder Mind]] or [[Force Bubble]]. If a player buys a new random mutation for an Esper character, the random mutations are always mental mutations.
+'''Unstable Genome'''
+Every time a character with the Unstable Genome morphotype gains a level, there's a 33% chance that character gains a new mutation. The player chooses the new mutation from a short list of randomly-selected mutations, just as if the player had purchased a new random mutation.
+=== Defects ===
+Mutations that are purposely detrimental or harmful. Players can choose to add defects to a character during character creation.
+Physical defects affect the character's body. For example, [[Tonic Allergy]]
+Mental defects affect a characters mind and will. For example,
+*'''Defects''': Can be of both physical and mental nature and seek to hinder the player in exchange for granting them extra points to spend during character creation.
+*[[:Category:Innate mutations|innate mutations]]: mutations that reflect a creature's natural traits they derive from their species. For example, [[:Category:Snapjaws (faction)|Snapjaws]] all have the [[Heightened Smell]] and [[Night Vision]] traits, reflecting their similarity to real-world pack predators like hyenas. For a list, see [[Innate mutations]].
