===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.
