 Introduction
his document contains descriptions of sixty five
T different genetic enhancements that can be used
to augment any 5e game. It thematically fits best
with biopunk, cyberpunk, scifi, supers, and mutant
themed games, but can be just as easily used for
fantasy settings as well. The enhancements described
here were originally designed for GeneFunk 2090.
P ower Balance
Each genetic enhancement roughly maps on the the
power level of a 5e feat, and they can be treated inter-
changeably. GMs may allow their players to pick from
the list of genetic enhancements whenever they could
select a feat through the Ability Score Increase feature,
or any other feature that would grant them a feat.
Relation to Challenge Rating
GMs that give their player characters genetic enhance-
ments should be aware that it will throw off encounter
difficulties if the standard rules for challenge rating are
used. As a rough guide, every 2 genetic enhancements
given to player characters should increase the CR of
their encounters by 1. If players end up with amplified
enhancements or enhancements that work synergisti-
cally with each other, increasing the CR of encounters
even more may be warrented. In the end, challenge
rating is imprecise, and GMs are able to best suss their
groups encounter survivability and effectiveness after
a few sessions of play.
Genetic Enhancement Descriptions
his section contains rules and descriptions for

T sixty five genetic enhancements, as well as a

table for determining the acquisition of genetic
enhancements randomly.

Genetic Enhancement Table

This table summarizes all of the genetic enhance-
ments in this book, as well as a method for randomly
determining their acquisition based on a 1d100 roll.

Random Acquisition
GMs can have player characters acquire genetic
enhancements through choice, or randomly, de-
pending on the narrative being enacted. If deter-
mining the gentic enhancements randomly, roll
a 1d100 and consult the Genetic Enhancement
Table. It should be noted that random acqui-
sition is less powerful, as synergies are less
likely to occur.

Enhancement Amplification
If you roll (or select) the same enhancement
twice, you must roll again, unless the enhance-
ment can be amplified (noted in the table). If it
can be amplified, you gain an additional effect
when it is rolled again (and it counts as a total of
two enhancements). Rolling the same enhance-
ment for the third time, even if it can be amplified,
results in rerolling.
Enhacements marked with a "*" can be ampli-
fied, and enhancements marked with a "†" are only
availabed as amplifed, meaning they always cost two
enhancements to acquire.

Looking Strange or Inhuman

At the GM's discretion, some of these enhancements
will cause obvious changes to a character's appearence.
Below are some optional rules for how this may impact
social interactions.

Strange Appearance
While you appear human, you have certain features
that mark you as transgenic. While those features are
apparent, the following effects apply:
• You have disadvantage on Charisma checks involv-
ing disguising yourself (unless you are disguised as
someone with a similar strange appearance).
• You have either advantage or disadvantage on cer-
tain Charisma checks involving people with strong
feelings towards transgenic humans.

Enhancement Descriptions
A description of the genetic enhancements follows.
Acute Olfaction
You have countless folds in your nose, which increas-
es surface area. The result is that your olfaction is now
even more acute than a bear’s.
You can recognize people’s unique scent, track them
easily (as long as it hasn’t rained), and gain incredible de-
tails about anything you might eat or drink. While track-
ing people, you also learn their exact number, their sizes,
and how long ago they passed through the area. If you are
downwind of someone, it is impossible for them to hide
from you, or keep themselves disguised without some
major alteration of their scent. Additionally, you have ad-
vantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
Acute Senses
Your senses are especially sensitive, and you have a
high functioning tapetum lucidum. You gain proficien-
cy in the Perception skill and you can see in dim light
within 18 meters of you as if it were bright light, and in
darkness as if it were dim light.
If you are already proficient in Perception, or later
gain proficiency through other means, you add double
your proficiency bonus to checks you make with it.
Adrenaline Surge
Your adrenal system is amped through the roof and
floods your body with stimulants, dramatically increas-
ing your reflexes and speed. Once per long rest,you can
use a bonus action to activate this ability,which lasts
for one minute.
While active, you gain a +2 bonus to AC, have ad-
vantage on Dexterity saving throws, and you gain an
additional action on each of your turns. That action
can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack
only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object actions.
When the effect ends, you can’t move or take ac-
tions until after your next turn, as the burst of speed
leaves you exhausted.
Agile
Your genetics grant you catlike agility, providing the
following benefits:
• You gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill. If you
are already proficient in the skill, or later gain pro-
ficiency through other means, you add double your
proficiency bonus to checks you make with it.
• Any time an effect would knock you prone, you can
spend your reaction to stay on your feet.
• As a bonus action, you can make a DC 15 Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check. If you succeed, you treat difficult
terrain as regular terrain until the end of your turn.

 Ambidexterity Roll Breath Weapon Save
You can use both of your hands with equal fluency, 1-2 Fire Dex
gaining the following benefits:
3-4 Poison Con
• When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you
can add your ability modifier to the damage of the 5-6 Acid Con

• You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when Canny Intuition

derwater. When you surface, the lungful of water is
expelled through the mouth. This also gives you a Chameleon
strange appearance. Your genetic makeup has perfectly suited you for hid-
ing and you are an expert at slinking through shadows.

move in a position where you’re not clearly visible.
Breath Weapon
You have specialized organs that produce destructive
acid, poison, or intense heat. You can use your action
to exhale these chemicals in a 15-foot cone.
Heat. Like a bombardier beetle, you store two vol-
atile chemicals in separate glands that violently and
exothermically react when they mix in the air after you
expel them, burning anything caught within.
Poison. You produce and expel tissue de-
stroying venom.
Acid. You can spew forth a highly corrosive acid.
Roll a 1d6 to determine the type of breath weapon
you have (see the table below). When you use your
breath weapon, everything within the area of exhala-
tion must make a saving throw, the type of which is de-
termined by the type of breath. The DC for this saving
throw is 8 + your Constitution modifier + your profi-
ciency bonus. An affected target takes 2d10 damage on
a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful
one. The damage increases to 4d10 at 6th level, 6d10 at
11th level and 8d10 at 16th level.
After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it
again until you complete a short or long rest.

8 // Genetic Enhancements //
Charger
Your body is well suited for collisions, perhaps due to
solid shoulder bones, a hard head, or some other struc-
ture. Your unarmed strikes use a d4 for damage. In
addition, if you move at least 6 meters straight toward
a target and then hit it with a unarmed strike on the
same turn, the target takes an extra 2d6 bludgeoning
damage and you can make a free shove attack.
Cloaking
You can reflexively match your skin perfectly with your
surroundings, right down to textures. As an action,
you can become invisible until the end of your next
turn. In addition, your shifting skin texture gives you
advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks for as long as
cloaking is active. You must be either naked or have
chromomorphic clothing on for this to work.
Amplify. You can activate your cloaking as a bonus
action instead.
Danger Sense
A mixture of excellent peripheral vision and other sen-
sory tweaks leaves you with an excellent sense for dan-
ger. You gain the following benefits:
• You gain a +5 bonus to initiative.
• You can’t be surprised while you are conscious.
• Other people don’t gain advantage on attack rolls
against you as a result of being hidden from you.
Digitigrade Legs
Your legs are reminiscent of a cat, rab-
bit, or kangaroo. As an action, you can
make a special shove attack with
a kick. If the shove is successful,
the target takes 2d8 bludgeoning
damage in addition to the regu-
lar effects of the shove. In addi-
tion, you multiply the amount of
distance you can jump by 2, and
you can fall 20 feet without tak-
ing damage (instead of 10 feet).
This trait doesn’t stack with any
other ability that increases your
jumping distance.
Amplify. You have advantage
when you make your special shove
attack. In addition, you multiply
the amount of distance you can jump
by 4, and you can fall 40 feet without
taking damage.
// GeneFunk 2090 //
Enchanting
People naturally like you and tend to appreciate
your opinion. You gain the following benefits:
• You gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. If you
are already proficient in this skill or gain proficien-
cy at a later time, you add double your proficiency
bonus to checks you make with it.
• You can charm a person, simply by having a brief
conversation with them. After a conversation,
make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by
the target’s Wisdom (Insight) check. If your check
succeeds, the target is charmed by you for 1 minute.
This feature cannot be used in combat.
Endosymbionts
Your cells benefit from transgenic organelles that
grant a variety of enhancements that you can express,
alternating as you wish between each long rest.
• Endosymbiotic Enhancements. When you first
gain this feature, select two genetic enhancements
from the Genetic Enhancement table. These be-
come your endosymbiotic enhancements. You must
express these enhancements to gain any benefit
from them, as described below.
• Endosymbiotic Expression. After a long rest
filled with fever dreams, sweat, and molting, you
can select one of your endosymbiotic enhancements.
You gain the benefit of this enhancement until
you use this feature again to choose a different
endosymbiotic enhancement. This pro-
cess leaves you starving from depleted
calories, and you must eat ten times as
much food as you typically would the
day you finish this process.
• Kleptoplasmids. Your
endosymbionts can discern and
slice desirable transgenes from
organisms you devour, incor-
porating them into their DNA.
When you consume at least 2
pounds of an organism raw, you
acquire a new endosymbiotic
enhancement. The enhancement
you acquire is determined by your
GM, and will reflect a defining trait
of the creature you consume. You
must take a short or long rest before
using this feature again.
In addition, you must consume 2 pounds
of fatty raw flesh every 24-hours or acquire
a level of exhaustion.
9
 Efficient Respiration
Thanks to specialized metabolic pathways and oxygen
optimization in your physiology, you mobilize ener-
gy from respiration in a much more streamlined way,
granting the following benefits:
• You can add your proficiency bonus to any Constitu-
tion checks related to tiring or holding your breath.
• You always count as having two fewer levels
of exhaustion.
Electric Organ
Like an electric eel or ray, you possess a transgenic organ
that can generate an electrical discharge. As an action,
you can target anything within 5 feet with this ability.
The target takes 4d8 electrical damage, or half as much
damage on a successful Dex save. The DC for this saving
throw is 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficien-
cy bonus. The damage increases to 4d8+20 at 6th level,
4d8+40 at 11th level and 4d8+60 at 16th level. After using
this ability, you must take a short rest to regain its use.
Enhanced Charisma
The power of your personality is apparent. Your Cha-
risma score is increased by 2, and your maximum Cha-
risma score is increased to 22.
Amplify. Your Charisma score is increased by 4, and
your maximum Charisma score is increased to 24.

Amplify. Your Dexterity score is increased by 4, and

The genes associated with G factor have been upregu-
lated to promote keen intellect. Your Intelligence score
is increased by 2, and your maximum Intelligence
score is now 22.
Amplify. Your Intelligence score is increased by 4,
and your maximum Intelligence score is increased to 24.
Enhanced Strength
You have reduced myostatin and increased musculo-
skeletal growth. Your Strength score is increased by 3,
and your maximum Strength score is increased to 24.
Amplify. Your Strength score is increased by 5, and
your maximum Strength score is increased to 26.
Enhanced Wisdom
Your prefrontal cortex and intuition centers are en-
hanced, your Wisdom score is increased by 2, and your
maximum Wisdom score is increased to 22.
Amplify. Your Wisdom score is increased by 4, and
your maximum Wisdom score is increased to 24.
Extra Arms
You have a fully functioning extra set of arms. You gain
the following benefits:
• Your Strength score is increased by 1.
• You add your proficiency bonus to any grapple
checks or Strength ability checks to climb or lift
things. This stacks with any bonuses you gain from
Athletics or Acrobatics proficiency.
• You are considered to have an extra pair of free
hands for holding weapons, grappling, or any other
purpose that required free hands.
These extra arms don’t provide additional attacks
each round, and give you an inhuman appearance.
// Genetic Enhancements //
Healing Factor
You regain 1 hit point at the start of each turn, and you
automatically stabilize when knocked unconscious at
0 hit points. You need consume a large meal (many cal-
ories) after a combat where it is used, or it won’t func-
tion in the next combat.
Amplify. You regain 2 hit point at the start of each
turn and you regain all of your hit points whenever you
take a short rest.
Inscrutable Brain
The pathways in your brain are wired a bit different-
ly. As a result, mind hackers have a hard time crack-
ing in. You gain advantage when making saving
throws against any mind hacks or mind affecting
spells or effects.
Insulated
Your skin and tissue contain neutralizing buffers and
mechanisms to dissipate electricity, granting you resis-
tance to corrosive and electrical damage.
Large Frame
Your body has been swimming in all sorts of natural-
ly produced growth hormones since before birth, so
you now stand well over 2 meters tall. Your Strength
score increases by 1, your maximum Strength score is
increased to 28, and you have a strange appearance.
// GeneFunk 2090 //
Menacing Maw
Your mouth is large and filled with razor-sharp and
powerful teeth. Your mouth is large and filled with
razor-sharp and powerful teeth. Your bite attack is a
simple melee weapon with the armor-piercing proper-
ty that does 2d6 piercing damage (plus Strength mod-
ifier), but it can only target enemies you are grappling.
At level 6, your bite damage increases to 2d8, at level 11
it increases to 2d10, and at level 17 it increases to 2d12.
Amplify. You can make Strength (Intimidation) abil-
ity checks instead of Charisma (Intimidation) checks
against targets within 6 meters. If you are grappling a
target, you gain advantage on Strength (Intimidation)
checks against them.
Multitasker
Your brain is especially suited to multitasking, and you
can run an additional hack or upgrade that requires
concentration (you may concentrate on one more ef-
fect than normal).
Natural Coder
Coding is second nature for you. You learn four 1st-lev-
el software hacks of your choice. Without hack slots,
they must be run using the taking your time feature.
The rules for this are fully described in the GeneFunk
2090 Core Rulebook.
Natural Empath
You are able to read people like a book, knowing what
they are thinking and feeling before even they do. You
gain the following benefits:
• Your passive Wisdom (Insight) score increases by +5.
• You gain proficiency in the Insight skill. If you are
already proficient in the skill or gain it at a later
time, you add double your proficiency bonus to
checks you make with it.
• You can use your action to get an emotional read on
one person you can see. Make a Wisdom (Insight)
check contested by the target’s Charisma (De-
ception) check. If your check succeeds, you have
advantage on attack rolls and ability checks against
the target until the end of your next turn.

on a roll of 18-20.
This natural weapon gives you a strange appearance.

Nocturnal
You have been bred for the night, giving you advantag-
es in shadows. You gain the following benefits:
• You can try to hide when you are lightly obscured
from the person or thing from which you are hiding.
• When you are hidden from someone or something,
and miss it with a ranged weapon attack, making
the attack doesn’t reveal your position.
• Dim light doesn’t impose disadvantage on your
Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight.

Noxious Spray
Like a skunk, you can spray a 20-foot cone of noxious
and irritating stinky chemicals at your enemies. When
you first get this enhancement, you decide which body
part if comes from, but it can’t function if it’s cov-
ered by clothing.

12 // Genetic Enhancements //
Performance Artist
Be it dance, storytelling, painting, or some other art-
form, your natural mastery of performance allows you
to command the attention of others. You gain the fol-
lowing benefits:
• You gain a +1 bonus to your Charisma score.
• You gain proficiency in the Performance skill. If you
are already proficient in the skill or acquire it later,
you add double your proficiency bonus to checks
you make with it.
• You can use performance to occupy a target’s
attention, distracting them. Make a Charisma (Per-
formance) check contested by the target’s Wisdom
(Insight) check. If your check succeeds, the target
makes Dexterity, Intelligence, and Wisdom ability
checks with disadvantage as long as they are per-
ceiving your performance.
Pheromones
You produce scents that make people trust you implic-
itly. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Insight), Charisma
(Deception), Charisma (Persuasion), or Charisma (Per-
formance) ability check, you can roll with advantage as
long as the target is within 6 meters and can smell you.
// GeneFunk 2090 //
Photosynthetic
You have the ability to synthesize food from sunlight,
using adapted chloroplasts. You must still drink water,
but you can live without tangible food for months be-
fore starving.
Amplify. After you’ve been soaking in sunlight
for an hour or more your Strength score increases by
3, and you gain advantage on Strength checks. This
boosted strength dissipates after being outside of the
sun for 30 minutes or more, and it won’t activate if it’s a
cloudy day or if you’ve covered most of your body with
opaque clothes. Artificial sunlight from certain suntan
beds or other technologies will count as sunlight.
Physical Phenom
Your genes have been tweaked for optimal athletic ex-
pression, and you gain the following benefits:
• Increase your Strength score by 1.
• Climbing doesn’t cost you extra movement.
• You can make a running long jump or a running
high jump after moving only 5 feet, rather than 10.
• When you are prone, standing up only uses 5 feet of
your movement.
Pierce Jamming
You are uniquely adapted to pierce jamming signals.
You can spend a bonus action to be unaffected by jam-
ming until the start of your next turn. You must con-
centrate on this effect and can maintain concentration
through multiple turns as long as you are always using
your bonus action to activate it.
Amplify. You can spend a bonus action to be unaf-
fected by jamming for 1 minute. You must concentrate
on this effect.
Poisonous
Your blood is filled with toxins that you are perfectly
capable of metabolizing, but that are a nightmare for
anyone consuming your blood. You can use your own
blood as a poison. People subjected to this poison must
make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. The subject
takes 14 (4d6) poison damage and is poisoned for 1
hour on a failed save, or half as much damage and no
poisoned effect on a successful save. You can use inury
or ingestion as a vector for this poison. You can gain a
dose of this poison by inflicting 5 hp damage on your-
self, with either a syringe or a blade.
13
 Prehensile Tail
Be it smooth, scaly, or furry, you have a strong and nim-
ble prehensile tail, and you gain a strange appearance
and the following benefits:
• You gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill. If you
are already proficient in the skill, you add double
your proficiency bonus to checks you make with it.
• You gain advantage on any ability checks related to
climbing or Sleight of Hand.
• You can use your tail to use or hold objects that
weigh less than 20 kg.
• You can perform the Use an Object action with your tail.
• For weapons with the light feature, you can use it to
wield weapons as though it was your off-hand.
Quills
You are covered in sharp quills, spines, or spikes. You
gain an inhuman appearance and the following benefits:
• The quills are considered light, finesse, sim-
ple melee weapons that do 1d6 armor-piercing,
piercing damage.
• You can make an opportunity attack with your
quills whenever someone makes a melee at-
tack against you.
• Anyone grappling you automatically takes 1d6
plus your Strength or Dexterity modifier piercing
damage when the grapple is first initiated, and
then again at the start of their turns they are grap-
pling with you.
The damage (for both attack and grapple) increases to
1d8 at level 6, 1d10 at level 11, and 1d12 at level 16.
Amplify. The quills damage increases to 1d8 at lev-
el 1, 1d10 at level 6, 1d12 at level 11, and 3d4 at level 17.
Your quills also gain the thrown (range 6/12) property.
Regenerative Hemovore
Consuming blood floods your brain with dopamine
and is intensely pleasurable. In addition, if you spend
an action or bonus action to consume blood, you re-
gain 2d6 hit points as specialized nanobots burn the
calories to repair damaged tissue. The amount of hp
healed increases to 3d6 at level 6, 4d6 at level 11, and
5d6 at level 17. You must consume at least 500 ml of
blood to gain the healing benefit.
Amplify. You have fangs that contain narrow chan-
nels for sucking up blood like hypodermic needles,
though you can drink blood normally as well. You
can bite targets that you are grappling and feed from
them. The bite attack is as a simple melee weapon with
the armor-piercing property that does 1d4 piercing
damage (plus Strength modifier). You can consume
blood as a bonus action after a successful bite attack
on something that has blood, inflicting a level of ex-
haustion on the target and allowing you to regain hp
as described above.
Relentless
Your physiology gives you incredible tenacity in the
face of physical trauma. If damage reduces you to 0
hit points, you can make a Constitution saving throw
with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage
is from a critical hit. On a success, you drop to 1 hit
point instead.

Rampager
Blood lust fills you with energy when you down an en-
emy. When you reduce a target to 0 hit points on your
turn, you can take a bonus action to move up to half
your speed and make a another attack.

Reactive Defense
Portions of your body are extremely sturdy and can be
used for blocking, or perhaps your excellent peripheral
vision allows especially effective dodging. When you
are targeted with an attack, you can use your reaction
to increase your Armor Class by 2 until the start of
your next turn.

14 // Genetic Enhancements //
Robust
Your body is well constructed and you are resistant to
catastrophic injury. When you would normally receive
a permanent injury, you can negate it. You must take a
long rest before you can use this feature again.
Sclerotized Plates
Your body’s vulnerable areas are protected by hard ar-
mor plates. The exact appearance of these plates is up
to you and your GM they could be shiny and black like
a beetle’s, white and bony, or tough scales like a pango-
lin. In any case, you have an inhuman appearance. Your
AC can’t be less than 16 and your DR versus slashing /
piercing / bludgeoning can’t be less than 2, regardless
of what kind of armor you are (or aren’t) wearing.
The minimum AC increases by 1 at levels 3, 6, 9,
12, 15, and 17, and the minimum DR increases by 2 at
levels 7 and 15.
Amplify. Your DR and minimum AC increase by
2, but you suffer from disadvantage on Dexterity
(Stealth) checks. Additionally, you can’t add your Dex-
terity modifier to your Armor Class, but it also doesn’t
penalize you for having a negative Dexterity modifier.
// GeneFunk 2090 //
Slippery Slime
You can spew forth a blast of slippery slime, causing
those caught within to lose their footing. When you
first get this enhancement, you can choose where the
slime comes from (typically the mouth, but work with
your GM for other body parts). As an action, you can
spew the slime up to 60 feet, and the frictionless goo
covers the ground in a 15-foot radius and turns it into
difficult terrain for the 10 minutes.
When the slime spreads, everything standing in
its area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or
fall prone. Anyone that enters the area or ends its turn
there must also succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or
fall prone. The DC for this saving throw is 8 + your Con-
stitution modifier + your proficiency bonus.
After you use your slippery slime, you can’t use it
again until you complete a short or long rest.
Social Chameleon
You gain a +1 bonus to your Charisma score. In addi-
tion, you are skilled at impressions and mimicry, you
have advantage on Charisma (Deception) and Charis-
ma (Performance) checks when trying to pass yourself
off as a different person. You are excellent at impres-
sions, and can easily mimic speech patterns and tone.
After studying someone’s speech for a few minutes,
you are able to mimic it. Listeners must make a suc-
cessful Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Cha-
risma (Deception) to see through the impression.
Spinnerets
You can spin incredibly strong silk from your spinner-
ets. When you first get this enhancement, pick a body
part for these organs to be located. The spinnerets can
be used in the following ways:
• You can produce up to 30 feet of 1 mm thick silk
each turn. This silk threads have 2 hp and can be
burst by a Strength check, with a DC of 8 + your
Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus.
• Multiple layers of silk can be spun around a willing
subject or someone who has otherwise been inca-
pacitated. If this is done, any attempts to break free
are made at disadvantage, and cutting someone free
requires 15 hp of slashing damage.
• You can make an end of this silk adhesive, anchor-
ing it to any surface, and can descend up to 30 feet
downward each turn while still attached to the silk.
15
 • You can shoot gobs of silk at a target up to 30 feet
away that is large or smaller. The target must make
a Dexterity save with a DC of 8 + your Constitution
modifier + your proficiency bonus, or become re-
strained. The restrained target can release itself by
using its action to attempt a Strength save against
the same DC, being freed on a success. After you
use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
complete a short or long rest.
Sturdy Frame
Your entire skeleton is unusually strong, you gain resis-
tance to bludgeoning damage, and add the hard-knuck-
le property to your unarmed strikes (+2 damage).
Swift
It’s in your DNA to be fleet of foot, and nimble. You
gain the following benefits:
• Your speed increases by 10 feet.
• You can use the Dash action as a bonus action.
This
enhancement doesn’t stack with the sprint boost
upgrade.
Amplify. Your speed increases by an additional 20
feet (for a total 0f 30 feet).
Toxin Resilience
Your immune system works overtime, and your liver
can metabolize almost anything. You have advantage
on saving throws against poison, and you have resis-
tance against poison damage.
Venomous
You have a natural venom producing organ. When you
get this feature, roll a 1d6. On a 1-3 you produce neu-
rovenom and on a 4-6 you produce hemovenom.
• Hemovenom. This blood-cell destroying poison
must be harvested from a snake or spiders. A person
subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 11 Con-
stitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) poison damage
on a failed save and becoming poisoned for 1 hour,
or half as much damage and no poison effect on a
successful one
• Neurovenom. This neurotoxic venom is harvested
from snakes and spiders. A person subjected to this
poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving
throw, becoming poisoned for 1 hour on a failed save.
If the save is failed by 5 or more, the subject becomes
unconscious. If they fail by 10 or more, they die.

Supple Limbs
You have remarkable flexibility and can easily dislo-
cate and relocate your bones. You gain a +1 bonus to
your Dexterity score. In addition, you gain advantage
on all checks related to grappling or escaping bonds.
speed is reduced by 3 until the end of their next turn.
Magazines for this weapon cost シ2,000 each.
reaction to make an unarmed strike against an enemy
that moves within 1.5 meters of you.

Thermal Tolerance
Your cells and tissues have a very high buffering ability
for thermal homeostasis, possessing functions for pro-
ducing heat or venting it off where necessary. You gain
resistance to heat and cold damage, and you can sur-
vive in temperatures ranging from -40 to +60 degrees
Celsius without suffering from environmental damage.

Tough as Nails
At first level, and whenever you gain a level, your hit
point maximum increases by an additional 2 hit points.
If you gain this enhancement at higher levels, the in-
crease is retroactive.

16 // Genetic Enhancements //

You can activate this ability as a free action and
must take a short rest before using it again. You can
dispense the venom through any of the following ways.
Nematocysts. An area of your hand, or even your
tongue, is laden with stinging cells that send thou-
sands of envenomed barbs into your enemy’s skin. If it
is on your hand, it can be triggered while grappling or
making unarmed strikes.
Venom Sac. Your venom is manufactured and stored
in a pouch on your body, often in your mouth. This can
be used to administer a “kiss of death” or ooze poi-
son onto a weapon. If applied to a weapon, the poison
washes off after one successful hit.
Natural Weapon. If you have the natural weapon
enhancement, you may have your venom be directly
linked to it, allowing the venom to be delivered on suc-
cessful attacks.
Amplify. You can choose to secrete necrovenom in-
stead, and you can use this feature twice before having
to take a short rest to recharge it.
• Necrovenom. This tissue-destroying venom is
harvested from snakes and spiders. A person
subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 11
Constitution saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) poison
damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on
a successful one.
Wings
You have a pair of enormous wings coming out of your
back. They can be feathered, or leathery, their appear-
ance is up to you. They don’t allow you to take off from
the ground, but they give you a strange appearance and
provide the following benefits:
• When falling, you can slow your descent down to 60
feet per round. You take no falling damage and can
land on your feet when you fall at this speed.
• While falling, you can glide up to 60 feet hori-
zontally in a straight line on your turn. Changing
directions by 45 degrees requires a DC 15 Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check.
• You can double your jumping distances. This trait
doesn’t stack with any other ability that increases
your jumping distance.
Amplify Your body becomes optimized for flight,
making you about ½ your normal weight due to more
porous bones. You gain a flying speed of 50 feet, but
you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor, and your
hit point maximum decreases by an amount equal to
your level when you gain this feat. Whenever you gain
a level thereafter, your hit point maximum increases
by 1 less than normal.

Wall Crawler
Swathes of skin on your hands, feet, legs, and arms can
shift into microscopic fractalling, allowing you to ex-
ploit Van der Waals forces to cling to walls like a gecko.
You can cause this effect to manifest as a free action,
and you gain a climbing speed equal to your regular
speed. Additionally, you can climb sheer surfaces with-
out requiring a Strength (Athletics) check.

Watchful
You are mindful, present, and take in every detail.
• While you are conscious, you can’t be surprised.
• You can lipread. Distances greater than 12 meters
may require a Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence
(Investigation) ability check at the GM’s discretion.
• You have a +5 bonus to your passive Perception score.
