Archetypes
Super Mutant
A Super Mutant is a person that has undergone an
extreme and particular form of mutation, changing
their genetic make-up. While they usually appear like
a normal person, they have the ability to mutate
different parts of their body. This includes
instantaneously growing gills, wings, claws, scales or
even manipulating their body chemistry. But these
mutations are limited, only able to manifest one at a
time. And they take a toll on the Super Mutant,
sapping them of strength with each mutation.

• Wound Threshold: 11+Brawn
• Strain Threshold: 9+Willpower
• Starting Experience: 170 XP
• Special Abilities: Super Mutants begin with one
rank in Resilience or Athletics. You still can’t
train either skill above rank 2 during character
creation.
• Super Mutations: A Super Mutant may spend a
maneuver to choose one of the following
mutations. This character gains the benefit of
that mutation until they take a maneuver to
choose a different mutation or until they exceed
their Strain threshold. Each time this character
uses this maneuver, they reduce their strain
threshold by 1 until the end of the current
encounter (Or until the end of the next
encounter if they use this maneuver outside of
structured gameplay).
• Wings: Your Super Mutant character can fly.
See page 100 of the GENESYS Core Rulebook
for details on flying.
• Amphibious: Your Super Mutant character
can breathe underwater and move through
water without penalty.

character’s soak by +1.
• Natural Weapons: Your Super Mutant

within short range. Additionally, a character
within short range adds j to all Social checks
that target the Super Mutant.

Equipment
NEW ITEM QUALITIES
Mutagen (Active)
Weapons with mutagen qualities cause horrid
temporary mutations in other living beings. When
triggered, and at the end of the target’s turns, the
target suffers 2 strain each round for a number of
rounds equal to the weapon’s Mutagen rating.
Additionally, each time strain is suffered due to the
Mutagen quality, the victim's body horribly mutates
in some detrimental way.
Roll 1d10 to determine what part of the target’s
body is affected:
Table 1: Mutagen Effects
d10 Affected Part Effect
The target falls prone and treats all movement as
1–2 Left Leg
difficult terrain.
The target falls prone and treats all movement as
3-4 Right Leg
difficult terrain.
The target drops anything they are carrying in the
5-6 Left Arm affected arm and increases difficulty of all checks by
+k for all actions that require the use of this arm.
The target drops anything they are carrying in the
7-8 Right Arm affected arm and increases difficulty of all checks by
+k for all actions that require the use of this arm.
The target’s body is wracked by pain. They suffer a
9 Body number of wounds equal to the weapons Mutagen
rating.
The target’s head mutates in a horrifying way. The
target upgrades all checks once and must make a
10 Head fear check (see page 243 of the Genesys Core
Rulebook).The difficulty of the fear check is equal
to the weapon’s ranks in Mutagen.
Every time a new mutation is rolled the original body
reforms and the effect on that body parts end.
A victim might be able to end the mutations by
making an Average (kk) Resilience check as an
action on their turn, while allies can attempt a Hard
(kkk) Medicine check as an action on their turn to
end the effects. Otherwise, the effects end at the end
of the encounter.

NEW WEAPONS
Mutagen Gun
These highly dangerous guns are the thought and
experiment of mad scientists long gone. It uses tanks
of a highly dangerous mutagen and combines it with
a high-powered energy beam to implant targets with
a volatile mutagen. These weapons are not without
dangers to wield, and stories of fatal mishaps are told
far and wide as tanks implode or leak turning their
deadly fluids on the wielder.
The GM may spend d generated on a combat
check using the Mutagen Gun to affect the user with
the Mutagen quality.
Author: Archellus
The Claw
The Claw is a large crab claw, marred by countless
nicks and scratches, which replaces the bearer’s arm
and hand from the elbow down. After the new bearer
inserts their arm into The Claw, it permanently bonds
with the bearer and rewrites their nervous system
until manipulating The Claw becomes as natural as
their former hand. Anyone who bears The Claw earns
the loyalty of the Clawbberers, a legion of lobsterlike
goons. However, they will also find themselves
targeted by a multitude of jealous foes who wish to
usurp the throne and steal The Claw for themselves.
The Claw may never be unequipped or disarmed,
and the bearer adds jj to any roll they make which
requires the use of two hands and fine motor control.
The Claw can only be removed as a result of the
Maimed critical injury or a Daunting (kkkk)
Medicine check. If The Claw suffers damage or is
destroyed by d or the Sunder quality, it automatically
regenerates one step of damage every day.
