Unstable Genome

You gain an extra mutation, but it doesn't manifest right away. Whenever you gain a level, there's a 33% chance that your genome destabilizes and you get to choose from 3 random mutations.


Advantages

  • You can potentially gain (semi-)random mutations at a fast pace.
  • You could gain mutation combinations that cost more than your allotted points.

Disadvantages

  • You could get unlucky and not get any mutations for a while before it starts to pick up.
  • You could get mutations that cost very little, making it better to have just chosen them at startup.
