Whenever you fail to install a bionic you will have a chance to get a “Go go gadget bionic” You can’t remove it and everytime you activate a bionic your character will say "Go go gadget (insert name of bionic here.) and It will take you two turns to do so. ---

Not exactly a bad idea but it’d be kinda useless. A “Werewolf” mutation branch, basically Lupine on steroids, with stuff like Inconveniently Large and Full Night Vision and Fleet-Footed, downside is that the mutations only manifests once a season, or twice if settings make each season much longer then default, then they’d leave after one day, or maybe two. Still be kinda cool. ---

Or even it could be an invisible mutation that links you non-baseline mutations to a time period. 😃 * * * Sudden volcano eruptions. ---

A sudden mutation that alters your body drasticly : Takes tons of nutrition, exhausts you and put you into a LOT of pain. Imagining getting all Lupine mutations at once would probably put you to exhausted dehydrated and starvin while havin 500+ pain. Your totaly ontopic (y) ---

Ghost Body Mutation: something is messing with your head. You don’t know why, but sometimes it seems your body do stuff without you asking to do it… Each turn, chance of character doing a random action. ANY random action. Activating a tablet, using your flamethrower, screaming, shooting in a zombie, pulling the pin of that grenade… ---

Sudden changes to your body … i don t think thats reqasonable and therefor its ontopic. Situational things may be adrenalin spikes a defense reaktion of some sort specific to a certain mutation (like ink spraying in water … but then again i think these should be activatable) Or in fear some critter instincts embedded in mutated people doing stuff ~ Usualy that wouldn t be good. Its most of the time better to keep your head clear. What would you suggest? ---

I am pretty sure that Dire Bacon can detect giant worms at a decent range. It is also probably like sugar to them, which, while tentatively a problem, can be used to make them ram impermeable objects… Maybe there should be a line of mutations that accent the High Adrenaline trait. Increasing duration, reducing trigger requirements, increasing mass, causing third-person speech… ---
