Adrenal Control

You regulate your body's release of adrenaline.

You can increase your body's adrenaline flow for 20 rounds.

Cooldown: 200 rounds

Adrenal Control is a physical mutation that allows the player to control the flow of their adrenaline, granting them various bonuses.

Adrenal Control grants the "Release Adrenaline" activated ability, which when used, will grant the adrenaline flowing status effect and will cause the mutation level of all of the player's physical mutations to increase temporarily be an amount based on Adrenal Control's mutation level. It will also increase the players's Quickness by a mutation level-based amount.

Adrenal Control will not increase it's own level. Additionally, attributes bonuses gained by boosting mutations that grant such bonuses (such as Double-muscled) will be temporary and will not count towards satisfying skill requirements.
