Mutant

Mutant or Non-Human:Adopting a fictional work such as the X-Men or mutants in general is a complex task. Because mutants exist in a binary world, human or mutant, there is no consideration for the fantasy setting of elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. When you decide which mutant your going to play, ask your DM if it is okay to look like an elf or an orc. You don't have to use the traits for those races.

Mutants are humanoids that possess traits unlike their kin. These traits are manifested in thousands of different ways and at times, ranging from a singular trait or multiples. The traits can entirely replace a creatures "normal" traits or be additional.

Physical Description

Mutants usually appear just as their peers. Minor changes would include a dwarfs skin changing or an inability to grow a beard. The eyes of others may become cloudy due to over experimentation with darkvision. Of course, these are the exception and a lot of times a humanoid x can blend in with society. As is the case of the wolverines.

Behavior

Most mutants are skeptical of others since they've betrayed and experimented on. That's not to say they avoid culture and cities altogether. A deadpool would find great joy taken the money from others in a drinking game. A sabretooth or wolverine may profit from being vigilantes tracking down criminals. This doesn't change their outlook that all humanoids are out for themselves and to be careful who you trust.

Society

Sometimes a mutant will try to live amongst others and coexist. The horrors from their experience may force them to have nightmares and lash out at their bedmates though. Eventually, for others' safety, a mutant finds solitude the best. A mutant may work with others for a common goal but once that is accomplished they tend to resort to their previous lives.

Mutant Names

Mutant names vary no differently than that of other races. Wherever they grew up they adopt names from that culture. Others around them do give them an alias though. An alias usually has something to do with their race or their nature such as Storm, Beast, Magneto, or Juggernaut.

Variant Rule:Fast Healing Fast healing is a big advantage for players and can really mess up a DM's encounter. If you notice or think you'll have issues with the way the rule is written, you can have fast healing work only if the character didn't take damage on their previous turn. Therefore, until the characters stop taking damage by finding shelter, ending the encounter, or fleeing the scene entirely, they aren't going to heal themselves.

Racial Feat: Fast Metabolism prerequisite: Sabretooth race A player may choose this feat instead of an ability score increase. Either you've untapped your natural healings potential or someone has done it for you. Your Strength score increases by 1. Your natural healing improves. You are immune to poison, poison damage, and diseases. Your healing grants increased stamina. Whenever you gain a level of exhaustion, treat it as one less.
