correct implication that some limbs don't give equipment slots, instead specifying just what slot types are more common

'''Chimera''' is a morphotype that limits the player to only being able to acquire physical mutations and defects. It can be chosen upon character creation. This does not affect temporary mental mutations gained by equipment or cooking, but it will prevent the chimera from gaining a mental mutation from drinking {{favilink|brain brine}} or from a water ritual.

Chimera has an additional effect that occurs when the player buys a mutation via mutation points or gains one through {{favilink|Unstable Genome}}. When the player is prompted to pick a mutation, one of the three options will denote that picking it will cause the player to grow a new limb, in addition to gaining the chosen mutation. This limb can be any biological body part (including parts from non-human bodies), but is weighted toward limbs that possess equipment slots. The limb can grow out of any existing limb on the player's body, including other limbs grown via Chimera. Regardless of location, limbs will function as any other limb of their type would.

[[List of Body Parts#Hand|Hands]] or hand-equivalents acquired by Chimera have a base 15% chance to attack and are affected by the [[Dual Wield]] skill tree and the [[Jab]] skill. They will also participate if the player uses [[Flurry]].
