Irritable Genome (D)

Your genome is irritable and unpredictable.

Whenever you spend a mutation point, the next mutation point you gain will be spent randomly.
Whenever you buy a new mutation, you get a random one instead of a choice of three.

Irritable Genome is a physical defect that affects the spending of mutation points.

Whenever a player with Irritable Genome spends a mutation point on leveling up an existing mutation, another point will be randomly spent on leveling up any one of their mutations, unless they have no valid mutations to spend the point on. If the player has no mutation points left after manually spending one, the next point they receive will be randomly spent.

Additionally, players with Irritable Genome who buy a mutation via points will receive a random mutation instead of being offered a choice of 3. They still still be offered a choice if they receive a mutation through Unstable Genome.

Advantages & Disadvantages

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

Advantages

  • Grants the player 4 extra points to spend during character creation
  • Does not affect Unstable Genome

Disadvantages

  • Can allocate a player's mutation points inefficiently or in an undesirable way
  • Gives the player much less control over their build
  • Poor synergy with Chimera if the player is trying to acquire new limbs actively
