99-00) An Abomination Unto The Lord (roll twice, combine results)

Kindly Mutant Lords (i.e. GMs) may allow players who roll on this chart to substitute an animal based power for one or more random mutations. For example, a skunk PC might trade in one roll on the mutation charts for the ability to spray funk (the bad kind) on opponents.

Next task: a plant chart.

  1. I love this chart, although I must say I'd be tempted to input a house rule that all rolls on this chart are automatically OO.

    The player may roll or pick a favorite animal and then MUST roll for a second animal to combine it with.

    Spidergoat anyone?

  2. I would also hope your post-atomic equipment chart is also included. Stop signs shields, duh!

    Also, I would not at all mind playing a skunk mutant who sprays the other kind of funk. Would that be a mental mutation?

  3. Actually the Abomination combo *would* make for some interesting new critters. (rolls)

    Holy Crap. A "dodo-leech!"

    (starts hammering out some stats)

  4. This is great. MF has needed a random animal roll just for making your base animal mutation (though the other suggestions here are interesting as well).

    Now how about a plant table? :)

  5. Happy sigh.

    If I could get away with it, i'd do nothing but random charts for the rest of my life. They are my strongest GMing and game-writing passion.

  6. This has inspired me to do my own table.

    I especially like the neat little touch that last result is.
