5th Edition Mutations by Edward H. Green III
Roll percentile dice as many times as indicated by the DM.
Re-roll duplicate and contradictory results.
Save DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + ability modifier
Attack Bonus = ability modifier + proficiency bonus
Remember to add Strength and Dexterity modifiers to melee
and ranged attack and damage rolls (respectively).
Passive mutations are always 'on,' though you they may
interact with other actions.
Concentration mutations require an action to activate and
remain in use as long as the character concentrates on it.
Other mutations require actions to use, such as melee or
ranged attacks.
Acidic Blood (passive)
Any melee attacker within 5 feet of you that successfully
inflicts damage with a slashing or piercing attack takes 1d4
acid damage.
In addition, their weapon suffers a permanent, cumulative -1
modifier to attack and damage rolls. When the modifier
reaches -5, the weapon is destroyed.
Adhesive Skin (passive, Strength save)
Anyone or anything touching you sticks to your skin. A
Strength save is required to remove stuck weapons. Foes
touching you are grappled unless they make a Strength save.
Aggression Field (passive)
In combat, all foes attack you first, unless they have a closer
target.
Amorphous (concentration)
You may concentrate to change your body into an amorphous
blob. You may squeeze your body through any opening up to
1 inch wide (though, obviously, not your equipment).
Furthermore, when amorphous you have advantage on
checks to remove the Grappled condition.
Atrophied Arm (passive)
One of your arms is a shriveled limb, useless for anything.
You may not use that arm to hold equipment or to wield
weapons or shields.
Atrophied Leg (passive)
One of your legs is a withered, near useless stump. Your base
ground movement rate is halved.
5th Edition Mutations by Edward H. Green III
Attrition Field (passive, Constitution)
You passively generate a mild force field that provides
temporary hit points equal to your Constitution score. This
field replenishes after taking a long rest.
Beak Mouth (melee attack)
You have a sharp, beaked mouth. If you succeed at a melee
attack, you may immediately make another attack against the
same target with your beak. The beak inflicts 1d4 piercing
damage. This uses your reaction.
Berserk (passive)
When damaged in combat, you attack recklessly. You switch
to a melee weapon and attack the nearest foe. You gain
advantage on all melee attack rolls using Strength until the
end of the combat, but all attack rolls against you also have
advantage.
Bigger (passive)
You are one size level larger (i.e. from medium size to large
size). Your Strength and Constitution scores are increased by
2 each, but your Dexterity score is decreased by 2.
Two-handed weapons become versatile weapons for you
(you can use them one-handed for the same amount of
damage), or you can use large two-handed melee weapons.
Your armor must be custom made, at double the standard
cost.
Bleeder (passive)
You have disadvantage on death saving throws.
Blind (passive)
You have no eyes, or were born blind, and thus suffer from
the Blind condition.
Body Pouch (passive)
You have a body pouch somewhere on your body (most likely
your abdomen), which is roughly the size of pouch-sized
container (from the equipment list). A simple pat-down
search will not discover your pouch, but a thorough strip
search would immediately reveal it.
Bug Legs (passive)
You have insect-like legs covered with spiky hairs which allow
you move up vertical surfaces and across ceilings at your
normal speed. You may also hang from ceilings or walls.
Caustic Spit (ranged attack, Dexterity save)
Once between short rests as an attack action you may spit an
acidic glob at one opponent up to 60 feet away. If the target
fails their Dexterity save, they take acid damage equal to your
Strength score.
Chameleon Skin (concentration, Dexterity)
With concentration you can make your skin change color and
pattern to match the surrounding terrain. You gain
advantage on stealth (Dexterity) checks.
Note that this mutation won't change the color of your
equipment, so it only really works when you're wearing
minimal armor/clothing.
Claws (melee attack)
Your hands have sharp and powerful claws, which you may
use to make melee attacks. The claws inflict 1d6 slashing
damage.
Darkvision (passive)
You can see in dim light as if it were bright light (up to 60
feet), and darkness as if it were dim light.
Deaf (passive)
Lacking ears, or otherwise unable to hear, you suffer from the
Deaf condition. This mutation contradicts the echolocation
mutation.
Echolocation (passive)
You possess blindsight with a range of 60 feet. Echolocation
does not work if you're suffering from the Deaf condition.
Eidetic Memory (passive)
You are able to recall images, sounds and smells almost
perfectly, with little effort, granting you advantage on Insight
(Wisdom), Investigation (Intelligence), and Persuasion
(Charisma) checks related to events you have witnessed.
Electrokinesis (passive)
You have resistance to lightning damage and advantage on
any saving throw versus lightning or electricity.
Evil Eye (concentration, Wisdom save)
One of your eyes is a hideous, bloodshot orb. As an attack
action you may focus the baleful gaze of your evil eye upon
one foe of your choice. If they fail a Wisdom saving throw,
they suffer disadvantage on all attack rolls, ability checks and
saving throws for as long as you can see them and you
concentrate on the effect.
Extra Arm (passive)
You have an extra arm, which may be used to wield a shield, a
light source or another one-handed weapon. Thus, if you
wield three one-handed weapons, you would get two off-
hand attacks. You could also wield a two-hand weapon with
a shield or one-hand weapon.
You gain one additional arm each time this mutation is rolled.
5th Edition Mutations by Edward H. Green III
Extra Head (passive)
You have an extra head, granting advantage on all
Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma ability checks and saving
throws.
You gain one additional head each time this mutation is
rolled, but gain no additional benefit from the mutation
(other than, if one head is somehow lost, you still have more
heads to fall back on).
Eye Stalks (passive)
Your eyes are appended to the end of stalks which extend
from your head. These stalks may rotate up to 180 degrees in
either direction, thus effectively granting 'stereo vision.'
In addition, you have a small degree of control over the
stalks, allowing you to 'bend' them slightly, thus allowing you
to peek around a corner, for example.
Faster (passive)
Your base speed increases by 10 feet.
Fur (passive)
Your body is covered in fur (which may grow over any natural
armor you have), providing you with resistance against cold
damage.
Gamma Eyes (ranged attack)
Your green, glowing eyes are able to fire a beam of laser
energy at a single target you can see up to 120 feet away,
inflicting 2d6 fire damage.
Gills (passive)
You are amphibious, able to breathe normally on land and
underwater.
Glowing (passive)
You glow with a soft light, creating an area of dim light with a
radius of 15 feet around you. If bright or dim light already
exists in the area this effect is barely noticeable. In darkness,
however, you stand out like a lighthouse, automatically failing
all stealth (Dexterity) checks.
Gooey Skin (passive)
Your skin (or hide) is slimy and gooey to the touch, granting
resistance to acid damage.
Hideous Appearance (passive)
Your normal appearance is revolting, even nauseating. You
suffer disadvantage on all Performance (Charisma) and
Persuasion (Charisma) checks. However, you do have
advantage on Intimidation (Charisma) checks.
In addition, merchants may charge you more for goods and
services, and others may just generally shun you.
Horns (melee attack, Strength save)
Massive horns grow from your head(s). Aside from being
dead sexy, you may make a gore attack using your horns by
charging at least 10 feet towards an opponent. If the attack
hits, they take 1d10 piercing damage and must succeed at a
Strength save or be pushed 5 feet away and knocked prone.
Hyperactive (passive)
Thanks to your hyperactive metabolism, you're always on the
go, go, go. You always have a bonus action each combat
round, which you may use to take any kind of action (even a
second reaction). You also consume three times the normal
amount of food and water.
Ink Spray (Dexterity save)
As an attack action, you may spray a glob of ink into one
opponent's eyes within 15 feet of you. If they fail a Dexterity
save, they suffer the Blind condition until they take an action
to clear away the ink.
Keen Hearing (passive)
You have advantage on all perception (Wisdom) checks
involving sound.
Keen Sight (passive)
You have advantage on all perception (Wisdom) checks
involving sight.
Keen Smell (passive)
You have advantage on all perception (Wisdom) checks
involving smell.
Keen Touch (passive)
You have advantage on sleight of hand (Dexterity) checks,
and any tool checks requiring fine manipulation (such as
disarming a trap or picking a lock).
Levitation (concentration)
With concentration, you gain hover movement with a speed
of 30 feet. If you lose concentration you immediately fall.
Light Bending (concentration)
When you concentrate, you are able to bend light around
you, effectively becoming invisible (though you still make
noise and leave a trail). In addition, while light bending you
gain resistance to damage from ray-like attacks, and
advantage on saving throws against ray like attacks.
Light Sensitivity (passive)
You suffer disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks
made while you are in bright light.
Light Sump (concentration)
With concentration, you generate an aura that "sucks" in all
light within a 20 foot radius, centered on you. Not even
darkvision penetrates this aura.
5th Edition Mutations by Edward H. Green III
Lightning Reflexes (passive)
You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws.
Lowlight Vision (passvie)
You can see in dim light as if it were bright light, up to 120
feet.
Mind Blast (ranged attack, Wisdom save)
As an attack action you may blast one enemy you can see
within 120 feet with psychic energy. If they fail a Wisdom
saving throw, they take psychic damage equal to your
Wisdom score.
Mind Blast does not work on undead or constructs.
Mind Control (concentration, Wisdom save)
As an attack action you may attempt to control an opponent's
mind. If they fail a Wisdom saving throw, they come under
your mental domination.
As long as you concentrate you mentally control their actions,
as if you were controlling a puppet. You spend your move
and actions to make the controlled subject move and act,
within its physical capabilities. You cannot make the subject
take an action it is physically incapable of taking.
The subject makes another saving throw at the end of each of
its actions, ending the effect if successful. Mind control does
not work on undead or constructs.
Mind Probe (concentration, Wisdom saving throw)
By concentrating on a subject you can see you can probe
their mind for specific information. With a successful
Wisdom saving throw they block out your mind probe and are
immune to future probes for the next 24 hours.
The subject makes another saving throw at the end of each of
its turns, ending the effect if successful. Mind Probe does not
work on mindless undead, constructs and other 'mindless'
creatures.
Mind Shield (concentration)
So long as you concentrate to maintain your mental shield,
you have resistance to psychic damage and advantage on any
saving throw against psychic effects, charm, mind control and
the like. You may activate your Mind Shield as a reaction.
Narcolepsy (passive)
You have an unfortunate tendency to nip off and take a nap
at inconvenient times, forcing your party members to wake
you up. The upside, every time you choose to do this (as a
player), your character gains Inspiration.
Natural Armor (passive)
You're covered with thick hide, scales or carapace that
provide natural protection. Your armor class is never less
than 15, even when you don't wear armor. If your Dexterity
modifier is positive, add that to 15; if it is negative, ignore it.
Oddly Colored Skin (passive)
Your skin (or hide) is oddly colored, such as bright pink, neon
purple, etc. This makes you quite distinctive; you really stand
out in a crowd.
Paralytic Touch (melee attack, Constitution save)
As an attack action you may attempt to touch one opponent
within melee reach and paralyze them. If the attack hits, the
target must make a Constitution save or be paralyzed for 1
minute. The target may attempt another save at the end of
each of its turns, ending the effect on a successful save.
Photosynthetic (passive)
As long as you spend at least a few hours in sunlight each day
your daily food requirement is satisfied. You may also eat
food normally, in the absence of sunlight.
Pincher Hand (melee attack)
One of your hands is a massive pincher, which you may use to
make melee attacks that inflict 1d6 bludgeoning damage.
The target is also grappled, requiring an acrobatics (Dexterity)
or athletics (Strength) check to escape.
You may not wield weapons or shields with your pincher
hand.
If you roll this mutation a second time, another of your hands
is also a massive pincher (though you can still only grapple
one target at a time).
Pinhead (passive)
Your head (or one of them, if you have multiple) is tiny. Your
Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma ability scores are -2 (to a
minimum score of 3).
Poisonous (passive, Constitution saving throw)
Your body produces lethal toxins. The poison is applied by
any natural weapons you may have.
If you have no natural weapons then you may excrete the
poison onto a melee weapon you wield (or a piece of
projectile ammunition). Doing so is an action. Each
application of poison is good for a single hit, or one minute
(whichever comes first).
Anyone hit by the attack must make a Constitution save or
suffer poison damage equal to your Strength score (in
addition to any weapon damage).
5th Edition Mutations by Edward H. Green III
Prehensile Tail (passive)
You have a strong tail capable of holding objects. This grants
you advantage on athletics (Strength) or acrobatics
(Dexterity) checks to climb or balance. You may also wield a
light source, one-hand weapon or similar object with your
tail.
If you roll this mutation again, you have an additional
prehensile tail.
Prescience (concentration)
When you concentrate you see a few moments into the
future. This grants you advantage on initiative checks, ability
checks, attack rolls and saving throws.
Preservation (action)
You may take an action to touch a dying character. They
automatically stabilize at 0 Hit Points.
Prodigal Mutant (passive)

receive the benefits of expertise. Add twice your proficiency
bonus to that skill.
Pyrokinetic Blast (ranged attack)
As a ranged attack action you may launch a bolt of fire at a
single target up to 60 feet away. If the attack hits, they take
fire damage equal to your Charisma score. This bolt may also
be used to ignite flammable objects.
Quills (ranged attack)
You have a number of spiky quills equal to your Constitution
score. As a ranged attack action, you may pluck one of these
quills and throw it with a range of 30/60 feet. The quills
inflict 1d6 piercing damage. You recover 1d6 quills each time
you take a long rest.
Regeneration (passive)
As long as you have at least 1 Hit Point at the start of your
turn, you regenerate 10 points of damage (or all of your lost
hit points after taking a short rest). You also must consume
twice the normal amount of food and water per day.
Regeneration also allows you to regenerate lost limbs and
organs within minutes, though doing so increases your
Exhaustion Level by 1 per regenerated organ.
Each time you roll this mutation, the amount of damage you
regenerate each turn increases by 5.
Rejuvenation (passive)
Each time you take a long rest you remove all Exhaustion
Levels. Any damage sustained from life drain effects is
recovered with a short rest.
Resilience (passive)
Each time you roll this mutation, gain proficiency in one
saving throw of your choice.
Resistance (passive)
You gain resistance to the type of damage indicated. If a
saving throw is permitted against the type of damage or
effect, you gain advantage on that saving throw.
Slow Healer (passive)
All healing effects are halved for you. You still recover all lost
hit points after a long rest, but only recover 1 spent hit dice
per long rest.
Slower (passive)
Your base spend decreases by 10 feet.
Smaller (passive)
Your size level decreases by one step (i.e. from medium size
to small size). Your Strength score is reduced by 2, but your
Dexterity score increases by 4. You have disadvantage when
attacking with normal sized two-handed weapons.
Spring Legs (passive)
Your long jump and standing long jump distances are tripled.
Stench (passive)
Any character within 5 feet of you suffers disadvantage on
attack rolls and ability checks. You suffer disadvantage on
any persuasion (Charisma) check you make.
Undead, constructs and other creatures with Stench are not
affected by this mutation.
Stinger (melee attack)
You have a stinger on one of your appendages (either a hand,
tentacle or tail). You may make melee attacks with the
stinger, inflicting 1d4 piercing damage. The stinger counts as
a finesse weapon.
If you have the poisonous mutation, your poison gland is
almost certainly integrated with your stinger.
Telekinetic Blast (ranged attack)
As a ranged attack action you may launch a blast of
telekinetic force at a single target within 120 feet, inflicting
bludgeoning damage equal to your Wisdom score.
Telekinetic Hand (concentration)
As long as you concentrate, you may employ your telekinetic
ability to perform acts of fine or subtle manipulation with a
range of up to 60 feet. You use your Wisdom modifier
instead of your Dexterity modifier, where appropriate.
5th Edition Mutations by Edward H. Green III
Telekinetic Shield (concentration)
You concentrate to create a telekinetic barrier around you,
granting resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing
damage. You may also activate your shield as a reaction.
Telepathy (action, Wisdom saving throw)
You may communicate mentally with any person you know
well at any distance on the same plane of existence, unless
they are somehow shielded or blocked from you.
You may also attempt to communicate with unwilling
creatures, though a successful Wisdom saving throw blocks
your efforts. You must be able to see the target, or at least
know that they exist.
Telepathy does not work on mindless undead or constructs.
Teleportation (action)
As an action you may instantly teleport to any location you
can see, or any location that you are familiar with, on the
same plane of existence. This could, for example, be a
specific cabin in a moving ship. You may bring a number of
additional people with you equal to your level of experience,
provided they are touching you when you teleport.
Tentacles (passive)
You have 1d4+2 tentacles. On their own your tentacles are
too weak to wield objects, but together they do grant you
advantage on grapple checks. They also look really creepy.
Timeshifting (reaction)
As a reaction, after any other character has completed their
turn you may active your timeshift ability to take a second
turn. Each time you activate this mutation your Exhaustion
Level increases by 1.
Tougher (passive)
Each time you roll this mutation your maximum hit points
increases by 10.
Tremorsense (passive)
You possess tremorsense with a range of 60 feet.
Uncanny Dodge (reaction)
When an attacker you can see hits you with an attack, you
may use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against
you.
Open Mind (passive)
You are vulnerable to psychic damage and have disadvantage
on saving throws against psychic effects, such as charm, mind
control, telepathy, etc.
Vulnerability (passive)
You are vulnerable to the indicated damage type. If a saving
throw is required, you have disadvantage on the saving throw
against the indicated source.

Webbed Digits (passive)

Webbed digits grant you swimming movement equal to your
base speed, provided your hands are feet are uncovered.

Wings (passive)
You possess flying movement with a speed of 60 feet,
provided you are not encumbered. If you stop flying or go
unconsciousness you immediately fall.

X-ray Vision (concentration)

You may concentrate to peer through solid objects: up to one
foot of wood, stone or earth or one inch of metal. A thin
layer of lead, gold or other dense metal blocks your x-ray
vision.
