{{Name}} is a morphotype that can randomly cause the player's genome to destabilize, granting them a mutation. | |||
Unstable Genome is unique in that it is the only mutation that is able to be stacked multiple times; it can be purchased as many times as the player desires at character creation, so long as they have the points to do so. | |||
Unstable Genome, unlike the other morphotypes, does not limit the kind of mutations the user is able to gain during character creation or upon buying a mutation. It can also be taken alongside another morphotype. Having Unstable Genome does nothing on it's own; however, every time the player gains a level, there is a 33% chance that one instance of Unstable Genome will be consumed, and the player will be prompted to choose one of 3 random mutations. This prompt is almost identical in nature to the one seen when buying a mutation via mutation points, and thus the options presented can be limited by the player's morphotype, among other factors. | |||

Having multiple instances of Unstable Genome does not increase the chance of a genome destabilizing. There is always a 33% chance. For a query to find what chance a genome will destabilize after a specified number of level ups, follow the button below to the IteratedProbability Query: | |||

=== Disadvantages === | === Disadvantages === | ||
* You can get unlucky and not get any mutations for a while before it starts to pick up. It will take 8 level-ups to have a 95% chance of at least one genome destabilizing, and 12 levels for a 99% chance. | * You can get unlucky and not get any mutations for a while before it starts to pick up.
