forewordI felt very honored to be asked to write the foreword to Creaturesof the Wastelands , but I was even more humbled when I first heardthis book was being written. It is a very special feeling to know

someone has seen your creation and felt inspired enough to take acertain vision further. This book is the first professionallypublished supplement for Mutant Future , and it doesn’t disappointin delivering the unusual, sometimes startling, creatures and mu-tations we’ve come to expect from this post-apocalyptic sciencefantasy game.

One of the most attractive aspects of Mutant Future is its adapt-ability. You can play in a wide variety of campaigns, with anyflavor imaginable, just based on a set of solid, simple rules. Thebook you hold in your hands gives you additional tools to bring yourgame to life.

Creatures of the Wastelands is a book you’re going to want to keepat the gaming table. As I was reading through it, I caught myselfagain and again chuckling maniacally over a monster description,imagining how my players will react when faced with another uniquemutant horror. Likewise, as I read the new mutations available tocharacters, I found myself thinking, “Ewwww … that’s awesome !” morethan once.

This genre of nuclear post-apocalyptic science fantasy tries notto take itself too seriously, and this book succeeds in perfectlycapturing that flavor. There is a balance between the serious and

whimsical, and between harsh realities and exciting adventure.In addition, Creatures of the Wastelands visits new possibili-ties. For instance, the parasitic mutations are a great twist, andthe inclusion of fleshed-out terrain types and hazards are inspiredand extremely useful to campaigns. That is, in fact, one of the mostimpressive things about the effort that went into this book: Thereis no “filler” material. This is a book full of material ready tobe used, now.

Soon, your player’s characters will be fighting through swarms ofblack snowflakes, or lamenting the day they made enemies with agroup of lumbicids. And laser blast to one character’s chest will

be a reminder of why it is a bad thing to have transparent skin.

Number Encountered: This variable num-ber represents the typical number of thistype of monster that will appear to-gether at one time. For example, if a 4HD creature has a Number Encountered list-ing of 1d8, then when this creature isencountered, 1d8 of the creatures willbe present. The Mutant Lord should alterthe Number Encountered as necessary toadjust the difficulty level. In general,the number should be reduced if the crea-ture is encountered by weaker charac-ters, and increased if encountered bymore powerful characters. A number rangein parenthesis represents the number ofmonsters of a type that typically inhab-its their “nest” or lair, or the numberthat will be encountered in a wildernesssetting.

Alignment: All monsters will be cha-otic, neutral, or lawful. Many monstersare either unintelligent or are simply

unconcerned about law and chaos, and areconsidered neutral.Movement: There are two listings under

this category. The first represents anumber in feet per turn that a creaturemay move. The second value provided inparentheses represents the monster’s en-counter movement, which are in feet perround. If two different rates are given,the additional movement will relate tomovement of a different kind, which willbe appropriate to the creature. A coupleof possibilities include flying or swim-

ming.Armor Class: In game terms, the AC of a

monster means the same thing as acharacter’s AC. For monsters, this valuereflects not only the creature’s generalagility but also its natural armor, fromtough hide or a mutational adjustment.

Hit Dice: This value is roughly equiva-lent to character level, but for mon-

sters it always represents a number ofhit points determined by this number ofd8s. For example, a 2 HD monster willhave 2d8 hit points. Sometimes a valueis given as a “+” or “-“, in which casethis number is added or subtracted fromthe hit points rolled. A monster willhave a minimum of 1 hp. Hit dice furtherreflect the attack ability of monsters.The hit dice number will be located onthe Monster Attack table, and the numberneeded to hit different armor classeswill be used for an encounter. Further,the number of hit dice a monster has isrelated to how many experience pointsthe characters receive when the monsteris killed. Refer to the Monster Experi-ence Points table in Section 4.

Attacks: This listing describes howmany attacks are available to a monster,per round, and the nature of the at-tacks. These will be listed in the same

order as the appropriate damage in thedamage listing.Damage: Damage is listed in the same

order as attacks, and is represented bya number and the kind of die that shouldbe rolled, just like weapon damage isrolled. Some monsters may in fact employweapons. There are a number of specialor unusual attacks that monsters can em-ploy, and the effects of these are ex-plained in greater detail below.

Acid

Some monsters employ acid. When acid suc-cessfully hits, it does damage becauseit has made contact with flesh. Oncecontact is made, acid does not need tomake a new successful roll to hit inanother round (unless otherwise noted).Most acid can be removed by rinsing itoff with water or other non-flammableliquids (beer, wine). If armor is de-

introduction In Mutant Future , the term “monster” can refer to any being other than the playercharacters. Monsters are listed in this section in an encyclopedic format. Eachmonster has certain characteristics, which are defined below. Although each monsterlisting can be considered to represent the “average” specimen of a particularcreature, the Mutant Lord can alter the abilities and power level of any creature tofit the situation.




88888

stroyed by acid, the character’s AC shouldbe adjusted to reflect having no armor.

ChargeIn order to make a charge, a monster musthave clear terrain and be able to runtoward an opponent for 20 yards. Theextra momentum of such an attack in-flicts double the normal damage. Like-wise, if a braced attack is preparedagainst a charging monster, such as aspear braced in the ground, a successfulhit will deal double damage to a charg-ing monster.

ConfusionSwarming animals, such as bats or in-sects, often may attack by engulfing anopponent and making him unable to inde-

pendently determine what he will do.Roll on the following table at thebeginning of each subject’s turn eachround to see what the subject does inthat round.

Roll 1d10 Behavior1-4 Attack character’s group.5-6 Do nothing but flail about

uselessly.7-10 Attack creature’s group.

A confused character that can’t carry

out the indicated action does nothingbut babble incoherently.Continuing DamageSome monsters have attacks that, oncesuccessful, continue to deal damage onsubsequent rounds without requiring fur-ther rolls to hit. Examples include theconstrictive attack of a giant snake, ora character swallowed by a giant monster.

DiveSome monsters capable of flight can at-tack by swooping in to do a dive attack.Opponents must be in open terrain forthis attack to be effective. Like acharge, this attack deals double damage.If the roll to hit is 18 or greater andthe flying monster is of sufficient size,it grasps the opponent and attempts tocarry him away.

ParalysisThe paralysis attack of most monsterslasts 2d4 turns, and a saving throw ver-sus stun attacks is allowed. When a char-acter is paralyzed, he collapses and isincapable of any movement whatsoever,including speaking. Characters remainconscious and aware of their surround-ings. Paralyzed characters are very vul-nerable to attack, and no roll to hitthem is required.

PoisonOne of the most dreaded attacks of somemonsters is poison. A character exposedto the poison of a monster, unless oth-erwise noted, must succeed in a savingthrow versus poison or suffer the fulleffects of the poison type.

Swallow Attack Some monsters are capable of swallowinga character whole, and will ordinarilydo so in an attack if a “20” is rolled tohit. Characters who are swallowed willsuffer damage every round until they die(varies by monster), or until the mon-ster is killed. If a character who hasbeen swallowed has a sharp weapon, hemay attack the monster from inside itsbelly with an attack penalty of –4 (butfirearms always hit). Should a swallowedcharacter die and remain in a monster’s

belly for 6 turns, he has been completelydigested.

TrampleWhen a monster tramples, it stomps orthrows its weight against an opponent todeal damage due to its immense bulk.This attack adds +4 to hit if the oppo-nent is humansized or smaller. Any mon-

Squid Hound (page 34)

ster capable of this attack will do so 3/4 of the time (1-3 on a d4), and theremaining times will employ any otherforms of attack available to it. Largenumbers (20 or greater) of normal sizedanimals may also attempt a trample at-tack, such as a herd of cattle. Thesekinds of trample attacks deal 1d20 hitpoints of damage.

Save: Like characters, monsters havesaving throws. Monsters have saving throwsthat are the equivalent of a characterlevel, so a listing might read “L4,”where a monster saves as a 4th level

character. Monsters that are unintelli-gent often save as a character of a levelequal to one-half of the monster’s hitdice number, rounded up.

Morale: This is the number that theMutant Lord refers to when testing formorale. The Mutant Lord will roll 2d6according to the Morale Check optionalrule in Section 5. Any monster that failsthis check will attempt to flee or sur-render.

Hoard Class: This listing refers tothe Treasure Hoard Class of the monster,and will consist of a roman numeral.




1010101010

This roman numeral is cross-referencedon the Treasure Hoard Class table todetermine the treasure that is found inthe lair of a monster. If the treasurequantity is fairly small, a monster mayhave this on its person, but usuallytreasure is kept in a secure location.

Mutants and “Normal” AnimalsSome mutant animals/monsters have muta-tions that do not necessarily conform tothe mutations provided for PCs. This isdone to expand possibilities as well asmake creatures unique and challenging.The most frequent mutation where this isthe case is gigantism , where the ordi-nary attack and damage adjustments donot always apply because the PC mutationassumes a humanoid form that is attack-ing other humanoids.

Many animals listed here are “normal”or “ordinary.” These may be used as-is,or as templates for devising mutatedversions. Mutated animals may be cre-ated from normal animals or any monsterpresented here simply by either choos-ing or rolling randomly for mutationspresented in Section 3. When using muta-tions in this way, The Mutant Lord shouldfeel free to be creative and modify them

in any way to create unique or powerfulmutations that are not usually avail-able to PCs.

Monsters and Willpower At times, particularly when mental com-

bat arises, it is necessary to know amonster’s WIL. As a general rule, ani-mals of generally low or animal intelli-gence will have WIL scores that rangefrom 3-8 (1d6+2). Monsters of approxi-mately human intelligence will have a

WIL from 3-18 (3d6). Extremely intelli-gent monsters may have a WIL from 11-21(2d6+9). These are merely guidelines,and there may be exceptions. Exceptionswill be noted in monster descriptions,and the Mutant Lord may rule that somemonsters or individuals deviate fromthese guidelines.

AbbreviationsIn written adventures, when monsters areindicated, their characteristics aretypically abbreviated in the followingorder and format: AL, alignment; MV,Movement; AC, armor class; HD, hit dice;#AT, number of attacks; DG, damage; SV,save; ML, morale.

For example: AL N, MV 90’, AC 6, HD 1,#AT 1, DG 1d4, SV L1, ML 7

Alignment is abbreviated as follows:C, chaotic; N, neutral; L, lawful.

TERMSSeveral terms are introduced in thisbook, as follows.

Aggregate is a single creature cre-ated from 2 or more. Usually it is theresult of mutation of a parasite and itshost where both are now required forsurvival. See the crusty bunny for anexample made from 3 species. Also itresults in a new type of mutation- para-site. These cost 2 or more abilitiespoints in exchange for some mutant power.This one of several rare kinds of muta-tions that may affect Pure Humans.

Base Stock is the unmutated ancestralspecies of a mutant.

Cluster is a group of immobile animalsthat live close to each other. Not verycommon due to the inability to collectfood, those that exist use the fragrancedevelopment or prey scent mutations todraw prey to them. Sponges and coral canbe considered real world clusters.

Elder People are those who lived be-fore the cataclysm. Other than they werehumans with high technology, little isknown of them.

Kaiju are huge monsters, best knownexamples are Godzilla and Gamera. Al-

most all kaiju have more than 100 hitdice and their attacks do damage to anarea rather than a single creature (ex-ceptions do exist). A save versus energyattacks halves the damage.

Instar is a stage of life for immatureinsects. I apply it to seedlings thathave life stages and mutations that dif-fer from the adult.

Fly: 150’ (50’) Armor Class: 8

Hit Dice: 4 Attacks: 1 (slam)

Damage: 2d4Save: L2Morale: 12Hoard Class: none

Air screws are oozes that fly in a spi-ral shape. On the ground, they take aform that is very much like a stone andmay remain so for a week or two afterfeeding. Birds and insects are theirpreferred prey, but they will attackanything that smells edible that passesnear them if they are beginning to starve.

Annual TreeNo. Enc.: (0) d10

Alignment: NeutralMovement: 0’ Armor Class: 9

Hit Dice: 2-25 Attacks: see below

Damage: see belowSave: L0Morale: 12Hoard Class: none

These are fast growing plants. They takeeight to 12 months to reach a height of80’, go to seed, and die off. They are

harmless to humans, but inflict 3d10points of damage per day to structures,vehicles, and any other large objects onwhich they are growing.

Their wood is worthless for buildinganything meant to last and smokes badlyif used for a fire. After they die, theyleave large amounts of wood that cancatch fire from combat with energy weap-

ons and mutations or lightning.Mutations: special

Antlion, Adult (Owlfly), GiantNo. Enc.: 0 (d2)




Damage: d4Save: L3Morale: 5Hoard Class: None

The giant antlion is an insect that, as

an adult, looks like a dragonfly. Otherthan some minor differences in anten-nae, the best ways to determine if it isan owlfly or dragonfly is the presenceof water and flying speed (as owlfliesare much slower). The owlfly, the adultform of antlion, is usually found farfrom bodies of water. The larva is mag-got-like, with large mandibles that areused to both crush and drain prey. Aftera successful hit, the target is held anddamaged each round unless it makes asave versus energy attacks. The owlfly

has a small set of mandibles but usuallyflies away from conflict.

Mutations: gigantism

Swim: 150’ (50’) Armor Class: 6Hit Dice: 8

Attacks: 1 (bite)Damage: 3d8Save: L4Morale: 6Hoard Class: none

These worms are fairly common in theoceans near shore. They are 45’ longwith two fins, eyes, and fangs. Flexibleenough to rise out of the water, an

arrow worm can bend into a boat to lifta person out. A preferred hunting spotis where trees overhang the water, al-lowing the worms reach into the branchesto attack birds and other arboreal crea-tures. When they face resistance or takedamage, the worms release a cloud ofstun gas from their heads in a 20’ diam-eter and then attempt to escape. Because

of their limited capacity to move onland, they very rarely move onto a boator shore.

Muta t ions : gigantism, increased strength, toxic weapon, regenerativecapacity

BBBBBBanshee IceNo. Enc.: d4 (d4)

Alignment: NeutralMovement: 0’

Armor Class: 9Hit Dice: 6

Attacks: see belowDamage: see belowSave: L1Morale: 12Hoard Class: none

More of a hazard than an actual crea-ture, banshee ice is extremely danger-ous for those that encounter it. Whendamaged by a physical attack (ratherthan an energy weapon or mutation), theice produces a mental scream that in-flicts 6d8 to all animal life within

100’. A save versus poison halves thisdamage. The source of this strange mate-rial is unknown but could be the result ofalien energy or a unique mutation.

Mutations: special

BarfNo. Enc.: 2d4 (4d4)


Climb: 150’ (50’) Armor Class: 6

Hit Dice: 3 Attacks: 2 (claws)

Damage: d4/d4Save: L2Morale: 7Hoard Class: XII

The easiest way to describe a barf is“web vomiting monkey-cow.” They are mu-




1515151515

tant cattle adapted to life in the trees.Their gut bacteria produce a substancesimilar to spider silk and they use thisto capture prey consisting of certainmobile plants (like some PCs). The web-bing is collected and thrown, up to 10’(or 50’ down) and the barf must make anattack roll. If successful, the targetis entangled for a number of rounds equalto 25 minus Strength. The barfs thenmove in for the kill. A pack of barfs isdifficult to drive off as they attackfrom above and only felling the trees ordestroying the branches will make themdepart.

Mutations: webbing (new), aberrant form

Bee, TigerNo. Enc.: d4 (4d12)



Hit Dice: 2 Attacks: none

Damage: noneSave: L1Morale: 6Hoard Class: see below

Tiger bees are named for their orangecoloration. They are desired by plantcommunities because they produce a waxthat heals plants (treat it as stim-shot

A for a 6-ounce dose). Otherwise theyare harmless. Because they are so valu-able, tiger bee colonies are protectedand their wax controlled by communityleaders, be they plants or other.

Mutations: special

Bee, Stone

Movement: 30’ (10’)Fly: 240’ (80’)


Attacks: 1 (bite)Damage: d8Save: L1

Morale: 8Hoard Class: see below

Stone bees collect soil and small rocksto make a form of concrete for nestingmaterial. Their mandibles are very strongand are used to break holes in theirnests as needed. They are known to makenests in ruins and thus alter the layoutby closing off doorways and creating newbuildings and chambers below ground. Theyare communal and thus do not have queens,workers, or soldiers. Each female beemakes its own nest within the whole andtreats it as her territory. Males makegroup nests and live together amicably,or at least until they die after mating.Females are 3’ long and males 2’.

Mutations: special

Bison, ForestNo. Enc.: 0 (2d8)



Attacks: 1 (trample)Damage: 3d10Save: L5Morale: 6

Hoard Class: none




1616161616

These strange forest creatures have analmost magical ability to travel unim-peded through vegetation. They phasethemselves so that all plant materialpasses through them, and thus have animmunity to wooden weapons and all plantmutations that inflict damage, as wellas being able to walk through trees andvines. When they need to feed, theyunphase their heads. When one dies, itsentire body unphases and if there isplant material suddenly within them, thebody explodes with great force, inflict-ing 5d10 damage in a 50’ radius.

Mutations: special

Bison, WaterNo. Enc.: 0 (3d4)




These mutant bovines have filled thehippo niche in North America. They have

large mouths and increased mass. Unlikehippos, they have gills and stay under-water all the time. Because they stir upthe bottom while walking, water bisondraw a great many fish looking for prey— both small fish looking for mud dwell-ing insects and big fish looking forsmall fish. Many anglers have a reallybad day when they hook a bison insteadof a fish.

Mutations: gills

Black SnowflakeNo. Enc.: 0 (2d12)



Attacks: 1 (slash)Damage: d4Save: L0

Morale: 12Hoard Class: none

Like dust bunnies, black snowflakesare an oddity. They look like over-sized snowflakes that are brown toblack and come down in the worst ofbl izzards . They f ly around, evenagainst the wind, and seem to feed onthe small amounts of blood collected

with each impact with a victim. Asthe flurries let up, the snowflakesreturn to who knows where in the sky.

causes fires to turn purple and thenexplode. A swarm of moths from 8-40 causean explosion with a radius of 20’ and3d4 points of damage. Larger swarms causean explosion with a radius of 30’ and3d6 points of damage. Blaze moths diefrom such explosions like any moths drawnto flame.

Mutations: special

Bloater CrabNo. Enc.: 0 (8d10)



Attacks: 2 (claws)Damage: d6/d6Save: L1Morale: 11Hoard Class: none

Invaders from the sea, these very largecrabs have some kind of toxin that causesbloating of living and dead flesh. Any-one failing a save versus poison is -4to hit and has +4 to Armor Class for d4hours because of the pain and difficultyhandling or wearing items.

Mutations: toxic weapon

Blood Crow No. Enc.: 0 (2d6)



Hit Dice: 2/10 Attacks: 1 (bite)

Damage: d2/2d8Save: L1/L5Morale: 9Hoard Class: X

Blood crows are animals that enlargethemselves to hunt. A small size crowappears no different from a unmutatedbird and the large form has a wingspanof 18’. They can change once per round(as their action for the round) and usethis to move about in or fly aroundbranches, looking for the best way torip open prey. A murder of blood crowsassist each other and provide a +2 tohit for every bird that attacks an indi-vidual that has been successfully at-tacked by another crow. For example, ina flock of 6 that attacks a human, ifthe first 2 hit, the second had +2 tohit and the third bird gets a +4 to hit.If it misses, the next bird gets no

bonus. Like other crows, blood crowscollect shiny items, although they donot keep a regular lair and abandon theitems with regularity.

Mutations: density alteration, self (special)

on blood. Although they prefer sharks,whales, and other large animals, human-sized prey will do in a pinch. Aftermaking a hit, the target is held anddamaged for every round thereafter un-til it makes a save versus death. Peoplewho live on or in the ocean occasionallygo on bloodfeeder hunts as the shellsand skeletons can be useful and the meat

will feed a typical tribe for a week ortwo.Mutations: aberrant form

Bloody lions are desert-dwelling mutantdandelions that look like dandelion rootscovered with large bladed leaves andvines for movement and which live in acaste system, similar to ants and ter-mites. They live in nests, called for-tresses, that are mound-shaped with largebowls in the center. A bowl is shallowenough that the reproductives at the

center get full sun three to four hoursa day. Otherwise, there are walls anddoors meant to keep intruders out orbottleneck them for defensive purposes.There are no underground portions, al-though rumors exist of treasure roomsfilled with artifacts of the ElderPeople.

Builders: This caste creates and re-

pairs the fortress. They have vines thatclosely imitate human hands and use toolsin addition to their roots. They are 8’long and have 2 leaves for defense.

Foragers: These 2’ long plants are theworkers who go outside the fortress andcollect the fertilizer- dead plants andanimals- and water that the colony needsto survive as well as picking up any-thing else that might be of use. Theystay in small groups, sometimes pro-tected by small soldiers, and stay outuntil they collect enough to bring back.If they must stay away from the fortressover night, they assume the shape oflocal plants and imitate them for pro-tection. If they must enter combat, theyhave 4 leaves for defense.

Reproductive: The heart of the for-tress is the domain of the reproduc-tives. They have several dozen flowersat all stages of development growing atonce. At 25’ long, they are the largestcaste and have 4 huge leaves for defense.

Speaker: This caste may have intelli-gence but they do not rule the colony-no one does. They are 6’ long and have 2leaves for defense. The leaves are rarelyused as speakers prefer to use firearmssuch as shotguns and laser rifles. Theydo not wear armor because of their body

shape, but otherwise can use any gearthe foragers collect. In close combat,they connect their minds and use teleki-nesis to push their targets prone on theground. Their complement of small sol-diers (4 for every speaker) then makethe kill.

Soldier, Large: At 20’ long, thesewarrior plants are the second largestcaste. They are always found within thefortress and protect the reproductiveswith their lives. In combat they usebeams of cold, sonic pulses and their 6

large leaves, in that order. They havean innate sense of tactics and foolinglarge soldiers is very difficult.

Soldier, Small: At 2’ long, small sol-diers are the smallest caste and their 2defense leaves seem huge because of this.This caste is usually found outside thefortress in the company of speakers andforagers. They are easy to grow in huge

For the atrocities their ancestors suf-fered, these mutant worms are the lead-ers in a war against pure humans andandroids. Often referred to as “General s”— especially by themselves — they havefour legs and two arms, although theytend to slither when not in a rush. Theyhave an enhanced form of telepathy andcan contact any mutant animal within amile. They direct their soldiers viathis and with great tactical skill.

Mazcar — a garbled form of “master” — are members of a termite nest that wantworld domination. Fortunately for theworld, they are still just one nest withlimited numbers. All mazcar are human-oid and between 3’ and 15’ tall. Onlythe first and third pairs of legs arestill used; the second pair of legs havewithered and hang uselessly. Otherwise,they look like wingless bug people. Thereis no leader caste as a hive mind con-nects them all and increases the use oftheir mental mutations, which are fivetimes more effective than normal. Thenest is run on the concept that onlyslave do the physical labor and the easi-est to control slaves are pure humans.

Base CastesBase castes are at the bottom of theheap. They are the ones that get theactual work done, albeit through slaves.The hivemind treats them as only slightlydisposable.

Task Master: This caste controls theslaves either chemically or, in the caseof rebellious individuals, by mind con-trol. Unlike the standard possession

mutation, task masters do not die if thecontrolled slave does. If the hive isinvaded, task master possess the mostpowerful slaves to assist the lords.They are 5’ tall.

Liaison: The leaders of the hive knowthey cannot dominate the world withoutassistance and so this caste is sent outto create alliances. Liaisons always pickless intelligent mutants and bully themwith the threat of removing their muta-tions. The allies are used to make waron population centers and monster-in-

fested lands the hive have no hope ofconquering on their own. They are 6’tall and slender.

Lord: These mazcar lead the defense ofthe hive. They have more powerful weap-ons than even blades and use their muta-tions on the slaves they lead to bothbolster their forces and ensure theirown survival. The loss of all the slaves

under a lord is of little consequence aslong as the lord survives. They are 6’tall.

Blade: Psionic soldiers sent out todestroy the enemies of the colony, bladesdo their job well. They always attackfrom ambush and attempt to instill fearin those they fight first. If there isany resistance, blasts of mental forceare used to kill. They are 8’ tall.

Leader CastesLeader castes are usually found bossingaround the members of the base casteswhen they are not involved in their ownprojects.

Elder: So called because of their ap-pearance rather than their actual age,elders are a powerful weapon of the hive.They teleport behind enemy lines andmanipulate the weather to the hive’sadvantage. If discovered, they can throwbolts of lightning in their defense.While within the colony’s territory, atypical elder has two lords and theirslaves for its protection. They are 5’tall.

Seer: The technology designers andtactics masters of the colony, seers arevital to the plan. They create traps inboth the main colony and any outposts

established, as well as improve weaponsfor the slaves and allies. They have anability to see the future and directelders, lords, and blades through thehive mind. For protection, the averageretinue of a seer is two lords and twoblades plus several slaves. They are 3’tall.

Master CastesMaster castes are equal to the leadercastes in the hivemind’s eye but aremore vital as they are the reproductives

for the colony. Like the leaders, mas-ters have personal projects to increasethe power and influence of the hive.

King: Kings have three functions forthe colony — reproduction, leading theliaisons, and infiltration. The threethat are outside the hive take over fromliaisons who have impossible assignmentsand use their mutations to assure com-




4242424242

pliance from the mutants. If the leaderscontinue to resist, the kings use mindcontrol. Kings always have 6d4 bladesfor defense. Kings are 10’ tall.

Queen: Queens produce scores of eggsper day to ensure the growth of thehive. As each egg is only 2” in diam-eter, the queens are not giant bags offlesh as with normal termites. Onlyqueens can feed their nymphs and do soby converting living flesh into a spe-cial goo (a save versus poison at -5negates this). They also use this abil-ity if they need to defend themselvesand are weaponless. A typical queen has5d4 blades and 3d4 lords plus slaves fordefense. The two queens found outsidethe hive are generally exploring for alocation for a new colony as well aschecking for sources of food for thenymphs. Queens are 15’ tall.

This nasty predator has an unusual methodof prey capture. It makes a small web onthe ceiling of a large room and thenplaces lines down to the floor. Theselines are under high tension and, if

anything makes contact with one, theline breaks and pulls the unfortunatevictim up to the spider. A single strandcan lift 200 pounds and larger creaturescan make contact with several at thesame time. After being lifted, the vic-tim slams into the ceiling, generallytaking 4d6 points of damage, and thenfalls slowly enough for the spider topull it into the main web.

This fungal monster, like many otherfungi, uses live hosts to germinatespores. Unlike most, the growth of thetiny fungi do not kill, at least withanimals. An adult, usually found abovedoorways, drops a sack of spores, whichexplodes and covers every creature in10’ that does not make a save versusenergy weapons. Unless the spores arekilled by alcohol, they cause pain forthe next week as the fungi develop. Thisresults in a -2 on all attack rolls or,if the victim is a plant, 2d6 points ofdamage per day.

Steel daisies, sometimes called rustflowers, are 6’ tall plants that incor-porate iron into their bark. Because ofthis iron and structural changes withinthe plants, they are immune to radia-tion. Once per hour, the flower can emita sonic pulse that turns iron to liquidand is absorbed by roots just under thesoil’s surface. The range for this is10’ and cannot affect other rust flow-ers. Beyond that, the plant has four

razor sharp leaves that are used fordefense. Anyone slaying a steel daisycan harvest 3d4 x 10 pounds of iron fromthe whole plant, including the roots.

Okay, this is not a mineral but it isstill common and nanites do infect it.Glass is one of the lesser intelligent

stones and seems to do just one thing — concentrate and reflect light. This doesnot sound so bad unless the source issensitive to heat. Anyone carrying alight source is affected as per the tem-perature control mutation. Places withlots of chunks of smart glass tend tohave lots of burnt husks about.

New Mutations

HUMAN/ANIMAL MUTATIONS

PHYSICAL MUTATIONS

Aberrant Form (Altered Body Shape) (D)If the mutant was long and thin, it isnow short and squat. If it was short andsquat, it is now long and thin. Crea-tures in between are now one or theother (50% short, 50% long). All suchmutants’ movement rates are cut by half,as their bodies move in unnatural ways.

Aberrant Form (Adaptive Organ)This mutant has a new organ that has twoor more functions. Only one functionworks at a time, but the mutant canconvert to either in one round. The playerand ML should discuss this mutation andhow it will work for the mutant.

Aberrant Form (Xenochemistry)

The mutant’s chemical makeup is so dif-ferent from the biosphere that it pro-vides some benefits and penalties. All

Following are a variety of new mutations. Those that are drawbacks to theirrecipient are marked with a (D).

carnivores dislike like the mutant’sscent and will either avoid the mutant(75%) or attack him as an intruder (25%).The mutant’s flesh is either indigest-ible (75%) or poisonous (25%). The formermeans anyone eating the mutant takes 6d8points of damage over 16 hours and thelatter is equivalent to the toxic weaponmutation. On the downside, there is littlefor the mutant to eat — only plants andanimals with this mutation and the samechemistry are food for him. Because ofthis, most creatures who gain this muta-tion starve to death quickly or mustremain within a limited area that cansupport their dietary needs.

Burning BloodThe mutant’s blood acts a superchargerfor others and functions as if it washercurin (MF core book, page 127). Thismutant takes 3d4 points of damage forevery dose extracted.

Chemical CommunicationThis mutant can leave detailed informa-tion on objects that can be understoodonly by mutants with this mutation orthe improved smell mutation. Up to 250words can be left on any object and lessfor very small things.

Clinging Skin (D)This mutant leaves bits of skin on allthe surfaces he touches. This makes himeasy to track and miserable in socialsituations.

Energy AbsorptionThis mutation weakens one type of energythat strikes the mutant (roll d6; 1-2heat, 3-4 cold, 5 radiation, 6 electric-ity). This mutant takes half damage forthe energy type rolled or selected dur-ing character creation.




7171717171

Flexible SkeletonThis mutant can go through any hole orspace that he can fit his head into.

Floats (D)This mutant bobs on water, unable to

swim or walk, and will be taken whereverthe current travels. Because of the as-sociated motion, the mutant cannot sleepeither when in or on the water (to in-clude being on board a boat).

Genetic Memory (D)This mutant has nightmares of the cata-clysm. He cannot focus on anything andsuffers a -1 penalty on attacks and -15%on technology rolls. Certain medicationscan induce dreamless sleep, but they canbe dangerous in other ways.

Genetic RecallThis mutant receives flashes of inspi-ration from the lives of his ancestorswho lived before the cataclysm. Thisprovides a +10% bonus to technology rollsand occasionally locations or other help-ful information. See the parasite muta-tion neck leech for more information.

Genetic ReplicationThis mutant reproduces by infecting oth-ers and causing them to turn into one ofits own race. This does not affect PureHumans. It requires a save versus poisonand takes a week to complete the trans-formation.

Gliding WingsThis mutant has very large wings thatallow flight over long distances. Thismutant can fly 500 miles without restingalong the way, but require a good night’srest after landing. This mutant alsoneeds a wide open space both to take offand land.

Heat Sink (D)This mutant is a sponge for heat. Ittakes double damage from heat and firebased attacks and must drink four timesthe normal amount of water in hot condi-tions.

Hollow FangsThis mutant can inflict d6 points ofdamage with its bite and drain d4 perround thereafter, as long as the victimdoes not make a save versus energy at-tacks.

Ice CocoonThis mutant can enter a form of sleepwithin a self-made block of ice. Thecocoon has an armor class of 9 and 25hit points. This mutant must determinethe length of time to sleep, which canbe no longer than six months, at thetime the cocoon is created.

Induce MutationThis mutant can cause a mutation or draw-back in others. The range is touch, du-ration is 1 day, and the mutation is

rolled or selected at the time of char-acter creation.

Internal ClockThis mutant always knows what time it iseven if deep underground. Also he knowshow much time has passed between any 2events.




7272727272

Kinetic AbsorptionThis mutation weakens physical attacksagainst the mutant. This mutant takesone-half damage against such attacks,which include falling damage.

Lightning Rod (D)This mutant attracts electricity. Hetakes double damage from such attacksand has a 10% chance of being struckduring a thunder storm (treat that hasbeing hit by a killing sphere).

Limb CloningThis mutant reproduces by dropping alimb that will convert itself into animmature version of the mutant. The lostlimb is replaced over d4 weeks.

Organic RadioMutants with this can communicate witheach other within 10 miles. Environmentor landscape may reduce this and, insideruins or underground, the range is 500’at best.

Oxygen StorageThis mutant can hold its breath for 10times as long as normal. The oxygen isheld within its muscles.

Parasite HostThis mutant has tiny parasites, eitherworms or crustaceans, swimming in itsbloodstream. Anyone else in contact withthe blood must save versus poison or beinfected. Mutant Lords are encouragedto be inventive with the result — itcould act like a disease or attack anorgan that produces a mutation (thusnegating it until the parasites die) oranything else you can dream of.

Replicate Physical MutationThis mutant can take a physical mutationfrom another. The range is touch, dura-tion is one day, and the mutation isselected at the time of contact. A saveversus poison negates this effect. Thevictim retains the mutation (i.e., thestealing mutant simply replicates it).

Seed ProductionThis mutant reproduces by seed. The fe-male either produces a small number (1-10) or large number (100+) after mating.Those mutants with a small number ofseeds grow the resulting plants and carefor the young that eventually emergefrom them. Those mutants that produce alarge number allow them to spread on thewind and may even consider their off-

spring pests. Mutant humans with a largenumber of seeds create plants that pro-duce 2’ tall humans that will eventuallygrow into normal-sized adults.

Scent TagThis mutant can inflict the prey scentdrawback on others by contact. The ef-fect lasts 2d4 hours.

Sticky HairsThis mutant has an attack that causesits target to become covered with small,

interlocking hairs. They are so pain-fully annoying that the victim must saveversus poison or take 2 rounds pullingthe hairs off. Otherwise, the victimsuffers a -1 to hit rolls until thehairs are removed.

Toxic Weapon, ActivatedThis version of toxic weapons requires a




7373737373

poisoned victim to be exposed to someenvironmental stimulus before the poi-son causes damage. It could be light,darkness, heat, cold, radiation, elec-tricity, impact damage, or anything elsethe GM might devise.

Toxic Weapon, NarcoticThis mutant produces an addictive substance.

Anyone bitten by such a mutant must make asave versus poison or follow the mutantaround requesting to be bitten at leastonce per day. If the victim cannot obtainthe venom, he will suffer, a penalty to oneor more saving throws, or some other nasty

effect devised by the Mutant Lord.

Toxic Weapon, Specific TargetThe mutant’s poison only affects a lim-ited group of creatures but does doublenormal damage to them. The group is upto the Mutant Lord and can be as broadas arthropods, mammals, or weeds or asnarrow as ants, primates, or conifers.

Transparent Skin (D)This mutant takes double damage fromlasers and other light-based weapons and,because of its appearance, is treatedpoorly by most.




7474747474

Twisted Hands (D)The mutant’s hands and fingers are de-formed and, as a result, it suffers -2on attacks and -10% on technology rolls.

Vestigial Wings (D)This mutant has wings that cannot liftit off the ground or even allow it toglide. Armor must be specially made andcosts 50% more.

WebbingThis mutant produces silk in a mannersimilar to a caterpillar (i.e. from themouth). Up to 25’ of rope can be manu-factured or one small creature can betrapped by the amount produced in oneday. The webbing decays in 3 months.

MENTAL MUTATIONS

360-Degree VisionThis mutant can see in all directionsexcept straight up and down. Surprise isall but impossible against this mutant.

Absorb KnowledgeTwice per day this mutant can take in-formation from another mind. The rangeis touch, only one question can be an-

swered and a save versus poison negatesthe effect. The ML must decide if thismutation affects androids, robots, andother artificial intelligences.

Access MachineThis mutant can gain access to a computerpsionically. He does not need to use a key-board, voice interface, or any other physical

method. This does not allow telepathy withartificial intelligences. The range is 10’.

Alter Atomic CompositionThis mutant can change one material toanother, both of which are randomly se-lected at the time of character cre-ation. Only d4 x WIL pounds can be af-fected per day. If the result is unde-sirable, then this mutation is consid-ered a drawback. Roll twice on this chart:

Random Materials1 soft metal2 hard metal3 rubber4 plastic5 stone6 wood7 ceramic (including glass)8 flesh (mindless)9 ML’s pick10 player’s pick

Bend SoundThis mutant can control sound and eitherincrease or decrease sonic damage by 50%or redirect sonic attacks made againsthim. The mutant still takes damage inthe second case but can alter the direc-tion of the attack, even back onto the

source. The version is selected at thetime the mutation is used.

BrainfireThis mutant produces a mental attackthat causes the target to feel over-whelming pain. This induces a -4 to allrolls for d4 rounds. The range is 30’ anda save versus poison negates the effect.

Cannot Lie (D)This mutant is incapable of lying.

Cannot Tell the Truth (D)This mutant is incapable of telling thetruth.

ClairaudienceThis mutant can select a spot up to 100’away and then hears as if it were atthat spot.




7575757575

ClairvoyanceThis mutant can pick a spot up to 100’away and then can see as if standing onthat spot.

Control DiseaseThis mutant can make a disease strongeror weaker. This results in either a -4or +4 to the save versus poison to re-sist the disease.

CrystallizeThis mutant can turn metal and stoneobjects to crystal. This decreases theirarmor class by 4 by also halves theirhit points due to the brittle nature ofcrystals.

Density Alteration, ObjectsSimilar to the other density alterationmutations, this one allows the mutant toenlarge or shrink objects up to 5 x WILpounds. This applies to parts of objectsthat can be considered whole as well.Bricks, slats in doors and barrels, andmany other component parts are among themany objects that can be affected. Con-sider, for example, a wall of cement anda wall of concrete. This mutant can notaffect the former but can enlarge orshrink the rocks or reinforcing bars in

the latter and cause it to crumble.

FamiliarThis mutant has a specialized, mentalform of parasitic control. It only workson non-sapient animals (or plants in thecase the mutant is a plant), has a rangeof 30’, and is permanent. The affectedcreature, which can be anything withless hit dice than the mutant (althoughthe ML may limit this), acts like anobedient pet and will die for the mutantif things become grim. Only one crea-

ture can be affected at a time. Certaintypes of monsters can have more, butplayer characters cannot.

Fear GenerationThis mutant emits waves of telepathicfear. Everyone within 30’ must save ver-sus death or run away for d4 minutes.

ForesightThis allows the mutant to see 10 minutesinto the future. This mutation can beused twice per day.

Fuse FleshOnce per hour, this mutant can use avariation of the radiation used by heal-ing packs to fuse a target’s flesh. Theeyes and mouth are forced shut, the fin-gers and legs bind together, and thearms fuse to the torso. Anyone affectedthat forces the body parts apart takes2d4 points of damage for the eyes, eachhand, leg, and arm (so in total 12d4total). Surgery only inflicts 2d4 pointsof damage total and takes one hour. Asave versus poison negates the effect.

Green EyeThis mutant can telepathically see throughthe sight organs of any plant with thefull senses mutation. The range is 500’.Intelligent plants can save versus ra-diation to stop the mutant.

Heal OtherThis mutant can heal d6+2 points of dam-age three times per day other creatures(but not to itself).

Induce NightmaresThis mutant can cause violent night-mares in a single subject. The targetmust save versus stun attacks or suffera -1 penalty to saves and attack rolls forevery night he is subjected to this ef-fect. The maximum penalty is -6. The rangefor this mutation is 100'.

Induce SleepThis mutant can mentally attack one crea-ture or person within 100’ and force itto fall asleep for d4 hours. Until this

time passes, the victim cannot be awak-ened. A save versus stun attacks negatesand the ML must decide if this mutationapplies to plants and fungi.

Life ScanThis mutant selects one type of lifeform— animal, plant, fungus, or alien — atthe time the mutation is gained. Any




7676767676

time that type of life is within 50’,the mutant knows its exact location.

Mental Barrier, RangedThis mutation allows all allies within25’ to be protected as per the mentalbarrier mutation.

Mental Mutation ScanThis mutant detects the use of mentalmutations within 100’. The location ofthe mutant is known but not the mentalmutation used.

Mental Phantom This mutant causes a target to see move-ment where there is none. The range is60’ and the target must save versus poi-son or take a -2 to attack rolls for thenext round.

Part WaterThis mutant forces all free water (notthat in living things) to move away fromhim to a distance of 15’. This means abubble forms if the mutant is underwaterand the air inside is as fresh as thewater surrounding it. This can also beused on ice, although weapons made of orencased in ice that are used on thefield do double damage to the mutant.

Patron MindThis mutant has telepathic contact witha willing subject. Anytime the mutantfails a save versus a mental attack, thepatron suffers the consequences. Therange is 50 miles.

Replicate Mental MutationThis mutant can duplicate anothercreature’s mental mutation. The rangeis touch, duration is 1 day, and themutation is selected at the time of con-tact. The victim retains the mutation and asave versus poison negates this effect.

Rip Organ A specialized version of telekinesis,

this mutation inflicts 4d6 points ofdamage to a target within 30’. The organtype is selected at the time of charac-ter creation and may include plant parts.It can only be used once every threerounds.

Speak to Animals/Plants/FungiThis mutant can communicate with otherspecies. If he is an animal (includinghuman), then he can understand plants.If he is a plant, he can understandanimals. Either can select fungi in-stead of the standard.

SubmindThis mutant uses a tiny fragment of itsmind for defense. Anytime the mutantfails a save versus a mental attack, itcan spend 10 hit points to kill thefragment and ignore the attack. The dam-age heals normally.

Telekinetic MonsterThis mutant can collect water, mud, dust,rocks, sticks, and such and form theminto the shape of a monster. It is not

strong enough to inflict damage or liftobjects but is tactile (i.e., it can betouched). This mutant selects the shapeof the monster upon using the mutation.It can be created twice per day for upto 5 minutes each time.

Telekinetic WaveThis projects a wave of force that af-




7777777777

fects everyone within a square 30’ by30’ in front of the mutant twice perday. Everyone in that area must make asave versus energy attacks or take 2d6points of damage and fall prone. Thosethat save just fall prone.

Track MindThis mutant locks onto a specific mindand knows its location. The range tolock onto a specific mind is 100’ andthe range for tracking is 100 miles. Inother words, as long as the mutant withthis ability is within 100 miles of itstarget, it knows its direction. The tar-get can save versus stun attacks to ne-gate this effect. This mutant can lockon to one target mind per day.

Universal CommunicationThis mutant can learn languages that arenot based on the same principals as hisown. For humans, this means such a mu-tant could learn the pheromone languagesof plants and insects or the color dis-play language of fireflies or cuttle-fish. The learning process is still asinvolved as learning any language, as isexposure to a creature who uses it, butat least the mutant has the capacity.Mutants with this at first level can

select such a language.

PARASITE MUTATIONSThis new type of mutation covers situa-tion in which a being allows itself tobe a host to another creature. The para-site usually provides a benefit, al-though some communities use them as aform of punishment. This is one of therare few ways pure humans have access tomutations.

Bone CoralThese animals that colonize the skel-eton provide a better anchor for themuscles. It costs 3 points of CON andprovides the quickness mutation.

Fly BristlesThis mutant has dozens of flies embeddedin its neck, their antennae poking out

of its skin. They provide a unique sense— air motion — which means this mutantcannot be surprised by anyone within10’. It costs the mutant 2 points of CHA.

Liver Worm This mutant has a writhing worm underits skin that acts as a secondary liver.This mutant takes half damage from poi-son attacks but loses 2 points of CON.

Lung Mold (D)Meant to control slaves and punish somecriminals, this fungus is inhaled andgrows within the victim’s body. It in-duces the reduced oxygen efficiency draw-back and costs 2 points of CON.

Maggot HeadThe mutant’s head has 2d4 worms crawlingthrough it, occasionally visible underthe skin. This mutant loses 3 points ofINT and gains d2+1 mental mutations.

Microfish (D)Tiny fish that are inserted into therecipient’s eyes, they are true float-ers. Vision impairment and loss of 2 WILare the result.

Muscle Worms

As these animals dig into and burrowaround in the flesh, they drain 4 pointsof STR. To some it is well worth it,however, as the worms enhance the heal-ing processes of the body and providethe regenerative capacity mutation.

Neck LeechThis slimy creature hangs on the back ofthe mutant’s neck and taps into certainparts of the brain. It is the only knownsource of the genetic recall mutationand costs the mutant 2 points of WIL.

Scabby Eye A mutant turtle, this tiny creature re-

places one of the mutant’s eyes, costs 2CHA, and provides the bright eyes vari-ant of optic emissions.

Skin Jelly(fish) (D)The jellyfish’s tentacles grow through-




7878787878

out the recipient’s skin and make painmore acute. It induces the pain sensi-tivity drawback and costs 2 DEX.

Skin Mold (D)This infection causes the mutant to glowin the dark, as per the drawback. Evenworse, because it weakens the muscles,it also costs 2 points of STR.

Skin SnailsThese little animals are fused to theskin with their shells out, protectingthe host via the natural armor mutation.They are a bit painful and restrict move-ment and thus cost 2 DEX.

Skull Rat (D)This tiny mutant takes up living in themutant’s skull and whispers telepathi-cally with him. Effectively, it is thedefective dual cerebellum drawback andalso costs 2 CHA.

Spine Beetles (D)These tiny animals crawl all over thespine and are quite disconcerting to therecipient. They cost 2 WIL and inducethe dormancy drawback.

Throat Crab

This mutant arthropod digs into the voicebox and allows the mutant to use theshriek mutation. The sight is disgust-ing and costs the mutant 2 CHA.

Throat Mold (D)This fungus grows all over the mutant’sneck and throat. It emits an odor offresh, raw meat and draws predators frommiles away. It induces the prey sentdrawback and costs 2 CHA.

PLANT MUTATIONSAcclimateThe plant is totally immune to environ-mental hazards after spending three daysin said environment.

Adhesive SapThis mutant can spray “blood” that acts

as superglue. The range is 10’ and onlyaffects one target. Anything attackedmust save versus energy attacks or becovered in this sap. To forcibly removean object like a weapon, the victim mustmake a save versus poison and, if suc-cessful, takes 2d4 points of damage.Helmets and armor are special cases thatinflict more damage and possible scarring.

Aging TouchThis plant can activate a field once perday for 5 minutes. Anyone that comes incontact with the plant ages five yearsfor every round and must save versuspoison or be stunned for 2d4 rounds.

Chemical GlandThis mutant plant has an organ that al-lows it to replicate one substance. Itcould be industrial, like glue, or me-dicinal, like stim-shot A, and the Mu-tant Lord and player should work to-gether to decide what substance is cre-ated. Up to three doses can be manufac-tured each day.

Dazzling DisplayThis mutant plant has cells within itsbark and leaves that can make complexcolor changes. This can be used for com-

munication, but mostly is a visual ver-sion of fragrance development (plants).

Dormancy (D)This plant is “asleep” for two monthsout of the year. Most plants do this inthe winter or dry season, but a few“hibernate” in summer.

Glow in the Dark (D)This plant glows brightly enough that itcan be detected 20’ away. It is notbright enough to allow the mutant to

read in the dark.

Inedible Fruit (D)This plant’s fruit is nontoxic butcompletely inedible. It may be woodenor taste horrible. The plant must breakopen the fruit to release its seeds,otherwise they rot along with thefruit.

Fireproof WoodFireproof wood was engineered by theElder People and considered a extremelyvaluable commodity today. It takes nodamage from normal fire and heat-basedattacks, although plasma can vaporize it.

Flexible WoodFlexible wood is easy to recognize, be-

New Materials

cause the plant loses its branches onthe opposite side of the typical winddirection — as the result of them beingbroken off when the tree smashes intothe ground. Uses for the wood includeboatmaking, as the planks are easy toshape, although masts and structuralbeams are made from other wood to prevent avessel from becoming deformed in the wind.

Metallic BarkThis plant draws heavy metals from thesoil and incorporates them into its bark.This reduces energy damage, includingradiation, by half.

Poisonous Spores (new variant) A plant with this mutation produces a

toxin that takes d4 days before causingdamage and spreads by contact. An indi-vidual so poisoned can affect four oth-ers and they can affect two others (butthere is no tertiary poisoning). This isa method meant to kill off swarms andhive-dwelling creatures.

Sonic DisruptionOnce per hour, this plant can emit apulse of sound that liquefies a certainmaterial. The range is 10’ and affects50 lb. of the material in question. Rolla d6 to determine the material affected:

Random Materials1 dead wood2 plastic3 mineral (specific), including

concrete and natural stone4 metal (specific)5 ML’s pick6 player’s pick

Spongy WoodThis only can be applied to trees andshrubs. An affected mutant’s wooden coreis full of holes and very flexible and,because of this, it takes half damagefrom falls and blunt melee weapons.

XenochemistryThis plant’s chemical makeup is alien tothe biosphere. Herbivores and omnivorestreat the plant as either inedible orpoisonous. The former means anyone eat-ing the mutant takes 6d8 points of dam-

age over 16 hours and the latter isequivalent to the toxic weapon muta-tion. The plant is also toxic to itspollinators unless they have the aber-rant form (xenochemistry) mutation and the same chemistry. Because of this,plants gaining this mutation usually dieout after just one generation.

New Terrain Types little life is found here generally con-sists of lichens, some scrub grasses,and whatever eats them.

Solid AirThese places have some strange effectfrom bygone technology of the ElderPeople. Travel is difficult and there isa chance for suffocation. Movement ratesare reduced to one third, attack rollssuffer a -4 penalty, and a save versuspoison must be made every hour or trav-elers will take 4d4 points of damagefrom suffocation. The save is at a -3penalty if the character was very activefor most of the hour.

Soup BowlsValleys and other depressions may col-lect biological and chemical weapons,also known as “the soup.” Only thehardest and most alien mutants cansurvive in these places. If a PC comesin contact with the soup, he must makea save versus poison at -15 or loseall but d4 hit points and gain 2 draw-back mutations (25%/25%/50% plant, men-tal, physical). This even applies topure humans, as the concentrated goooverwhelms their natural defensesagainst mutation.

Crystal FieldsThere are several types of crystal fields.Some of the hazards of passing through

them include toxic gas, crystals sharpenough cut through steel, blinding light,mind-blasting illusions, sink holes,mineral-based disease, nanites that in-flict drawbacks, and crystals that changeshape to disorent people (who then getlost in a maze of stone).

Green Zones (Fish Haven)These are places in the ocean where tech-nology or engineered organisms bring deepfertile water up to the surface. Alwaysfound far from land, they support a lot

more fish than the waters around them.People find these places to be gold minesof both food and danger. With such abounty, many mutant predators are foundin them as well.

Shattered LandsThese are places where kinetic weaponsstruck in such numbers that all the soil,creatures, and infrastructure were blownaway, leaving only bedrock. Dependingon the size of a shattered land, theclimate may remain the same. If rain isstill abundant, there are pools andstreams filled with dissolved minerals,which may or may not be toxic. What

Dust Storm This sort of hazard cuts down on vis-ibility. Anyone within a dust storm canonly see 5’.

Green Wilt A type of algae, green wilt covers plants

and starves them to death. The source ofthe wilt is not apparent until contactwith the plant is made. Alcohol killsgreen wilt.

OxycloudThese clouds of oxygen float about onthe wind and cause apparent aging ineverything within them. They tend to beobvious, as they cause plant life to

turn to dust within minutes. They ageanimals and minerals five years for ev-ery minute of contact.

SmogSmog consists of fog with any number oftoxic chemicals suspended in it. It mayvariously be treated as a poison or ra-diation.
