Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

  • Additional Strength causes the player to do more damage in melee and increases carrying capacity.
  • Gaining Strength from a mutation rather than by increasing it through the Attribute Points granted at level-ups allows those points to go to other Attributes.
  • Synergizes well with mutations that grant additional limbs that can be used in combat, such as Multiple Arms

Disadvantages

  • Moderate cost at character creation
