(2) Character Questions

[Clangador]

I have never GMed MF before.

1.) PC replicant has Metamorph - wants to change into a tiger or panther. What stats should I use for that?

2.) PC is a mutated animal wolf (or worg). What abilities might he have before rolling for mutations?

Thanks in advance.

1. I'd use the tiger/panther stats in the MutFut rules (Large Cat - page 65).

2. It's covered on page 13: "A mutant animal may choose one natural weapon at character creation, appropriate to his animal type. Damage from a natural weapon should be rolled using a d6; 1-2 1d4; 3-4 1d6; 5-6 1d8. Typical natural weapons include horns, teeth, or claws." You don't want to give him any "freebies" other than this bit of extra animalistic weaponry, otherwise you risk a bit of game imbalance.

Okay. Thanks.

Gotta disagree with my esteemed colleague here.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to add an Increased Sense (or two), particularly if the PC is from a "breed" of mutant wolves instead of just a unique specimen.

In my campaign, I have PCs playing a Mutant Crawdad and a Mutant Turtle. I let them both start with Natural Armor (Extreme), and since the Crawdad's people are semi-aquatic, I also allowed Aberrant Form (Gills & Lungs). From that point, they rolled for mutations normally.

I think it all balances out in the end, because of the hefty chance of getting Physical Mutation Drawbacks. The Crawdad rolled 3(!) disabilities, and the Turtle got 2.
