Genefreak
Genefreak Category by Stone Gargoyle
Genefreaks are mutant children born to other superbeings (mutants, experiments, bestowed and imbued) who inherit some of their parents' powers.
Attributes: Determine attributes as normal, with the following bonuses:
- +1d4 PS, considered Extraordinary
- +1d4 PE
- +2d6 Speed
Hit points and SDC: Roll hit points as normal, gaining 1d6 hit points per level. Genefreaks get 40 SDC before any bonuses from skills or powers.
Unusual Physical Characteristics: Roll 1d6 times on the Unusual Characteristics table (HU2 p. 159-60, or use table provided by Mephisto). Reroll the "No Unusual Physical Traits" result.
Birth Defects: Roll once on the Side Effects table (HU2 p.116). If "Must Physically Transform" is rolled, apply the size and weight modifications, but these are permanent and constant changes, not when transformed.
Super Abilities: The Genefreak gains their powers from birth, though certain powers may not manifest until puberty or adolescence.
Roll number and type of powers from Mutant Powers table (HU2 p. 161), then add either one major super ability or two minor super abilities, as these are inherited from the parents. If the child of another NPC or PC, the power may be a major power similar in type to a minor ability of the parent.
Other Stuff:
Schooling: Education is rolled as standard, but if the baby was quarantined and raised by the government then they get the Trade School level of education.
Hand to Hand Combat and attacks per melee: Standard rules apply.
Weapons and armor: Unless raised in government quarantine, only conventional weaponry and armor will be available.
Alignment: Any alignment may be selected, but heroes should generally be of good alignment.
Structural Damage Capacity: See above.
Available Financial Resources: Unless raised by a government program under quarantine or the family is wealthy, the Genefreak will only have 4d4X100 dollars in available ready cash. This is in addition to any life savings. There is also a 01-88% likelihood the character owns a conventional automobile 1d4 years old.
