== Brain Brine and Precognition == | |||
The game performs two rolls when determining the effects of a creature drinking brain brine: | |||
#The general result is determined: for example, giving the creature two [[skills]]. | |||
#The specific result is determined: for example, giving the creature the [[Tinker III]] and [[Swipe]] skills. | |||
== | The first roll uses per-creature [[RNG]] which can only be rerolled with {{favilink|Eaters' nectar injector|plural}}, {{favilink|drop of nectar|plural}}, or a {{favilink|gamma moth|gamma moth's}} {{favilink|mutating gaze}}.{{Code Reference | namespace=XRL.World | class=GameObject | method=PermuteRandomMutationBuys}} This means that while {{favilink|Precognition}} can predict the results of drinking brain brine, seed manipulation can only alter its outcome for a given creature as many times as that creature is exposed to one of those effects. However, since [[Clones | clones]] have their own random brain brine seed, it is possible to force a desired result by using {{favilink|Precognition}} or a {{favilink|sphynx salt injector}}, [[Cloning_draught#Cloning|generating a clone]], {{favilink|domination|dominating}} it, and then drinking Brain Brine. Once the clone receives the desired roll result, you can [[Domination#Permanent_Domination|permaswap]] with it to gain those selected benefits permanently. | ||
The second roll uses different types of [[RNG]] depending on the general result: | |||
* Intelligence, Willpower, mutations, and and skill points are determined by the same specific per-creature random seed as the first roll. | |||
* Skills and secrets are determined by a general RNG that can be rerolled by waiting. | |||
