* 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]], or allows you to get extremely high strength

* The daze effect caused by this mutation can often prevent enemies from reacting to your attacks or fighting back. Dazing an already dazed creature will stun the target instead


===Disadvantages===
===Disadvantages===
* Having a lower [[Movement Speed]] than an enemy means that, unless the player has a way to slow the enemy down, they will eventually get caught.
* Moderate cost at character creation
* The daze chance granted is incredibly low at all levels. For example, with a 10th level mutation and a strength modifier of +10, there is a whopping 1.2% chance that a given hit will daze.
* Grants a relatively low strength bonus at mutation level 1 and takes many levels for this bonus to significantly increase

Double-muscled is a physical mutation that increases the player's Strength. Additionally, every melee attack a creature with Double-muscled makes that hits and successfully penetrates has a mutation level based chance to daze their target for 2-3 rounds. This effect functions similarly to dazing caused by a critical hit from a cudgel, and will stun creatures that are already dazed. A single attack can daze more than once if there are multiple sources of daze, such as a cudgel's critical hit or Bludgeon. This can stun a target with a single blow.
