the most fun thing to do when you have a high level character.  
step one: start with robust genetics  
step two: train cooking to 8.  
step three: make a tone of mutagen  
step four: drink all the mutagen/train to level 9 and refine your mutagen to the category of your choice.  
this is the most fun thing ever. expect to get a horrifying monstrosity character. great for unarmed combat.

does anyone else love the beast mutation tree? it has lots of awesome stuff including insanely strong, and nothing particularly crippling.

I love being a tree, good hard bark and wooden skin.

No seriously, that +8 to dodge is absolutely insane.

Have you seen half the things in cataclysm? Everything in cataclysm is insane.

This is actually really powerful, a fluffy tailed character with 7-10 levels in dodge and a very high DEX can reach up to a 99% chance to dodge a single normal zombie, and can still hold numbers in the upper 80 - 90% against even more skilled monsters.

Yeah, but that’s imbalance not insanity. Insanity is making a game where all furniture must be made of sharp stone hat menaces with spikes of stone.

You forgot the carving of itself in the carving of itself, rimmed with sharp stone.
