'''Chimera''' is a morphotype that limits the player to only being able to acquire physical mutations and defects. It can be chosen upon character creation. This does not affect temporary mental mutations gained by equipment or cooking, but it will prevent the chimera from gaining a mental mutation from drinking {{favilink|brain brine}} or from a water ritual. | '''Chimera''' is a morphotype that limits the player to only being able to acquire physical mutations and defects.

Chimera has an additional effect that occurs when the player buys a mutation via mutation points or gains one through {{favilink|Unstable Genome}}. When the player is prompted to pick a mutation, one of the three options will denote that picking it will cause the player to grow a new limb, in addition to gaining the chosen mutation. This limb can be any biological body part (including parts from non-human bodies), but is weighted toward being a head, face, back, arm, hand, foot, hands, or feet slot.<ref>See the <code>ChimericWeight</code> values in <code>Bodies.xml</code>.</ref> The limb can grow out of any existing limb on the player's body, including other limbs grown via Chimera. | Chimera has an additional effect that occurs when the player buys a mutation via mutation points or gains one through {{favilink|Unstable Genome}}.

These limbs function as any other limb of their type would, with their location only affecting [[Dismember|dismemberment]]. For example, a head attached to an arm will be removed if the arm's severed, while a head attached to the body is only vulnerable to its own dismemberment. | ||
[[List of Body Parts#Hand|Hands]] or hand-equivalents acquired by Chimera have a base 15% chance to attack and are affected by the [[Multiweapon Fighting]] skill tree and the [[Jab]] skill. They will also participate if the player uses [[Flurry]]. | [[List of Body Parts#Hand|Hands]] or hand-equivalents acquired by Chimera have a base 15% chance to attack and are affected by the [[Multiweapon Fighting]] skill tree and the [[Jab]] skill.
