** Mutating lasts 100 turns, so to be able to revert back to before you started mutating and reroll as many times as you want you will need a [[Precognition]] of at level 23, plus a method (like [[Teleportation]]) to reliably escape after ending your vision without being hit again. | ** Mutating lasts 100 turns, so to be able to revert back to before you started mutating and reroll as many times as you want you will need a [[Precognition]] of at level 23, plus a method (like [[Teleportation]]) to reliably escape after ending your vision without being hit again. | ||

[[Mass Mind]] allows a third reroll, and with exceptionally high Willpower you may even be able to reroll one or two more times after that by letting it cool down. | ||
** When using weaker levels of Precognition to reroll the result, it is extremely important that you time your activation so that it covers the actual moment when the mutating effect ends and you see your result - if you activate Precognition too soon, it will wear off before that and you'll lose your chance to reroll. When you start getting messages that say that "you feel increasingly unstable", you are halfway through the 100-turn duration. | ** When using weaker levels of Precognition to reroll the result, it is extremely important that you time your activation so that it covers the actual moment when the mutating effect ends and you see your result - if you activate Precognition too soon, it will wear off before that and you'll lose your chance to reroll.
