Chagrinspire Mutations

I dislike writing mutation tables after editing them into a book broke my brain. 

But i do like my mutant class and will include in vol3 of chagrinspire book series on patreon

If you'd like to see me go back to any past work, settings or genres I've done let me know. Ive had good results from requests. I get not everybody likes what my Kerouac writing method is spewing out at the moment. The Frog Book is coming also. I'm tempted to revise Auldwood and replace all the images with vintage historical art - I might want to talk about that sometime. I will do some Halloween 3folds to distract us from the real-world horrorshow dominating the world's news.

Mutation Basics
minor mutations are common, mostly cosmetic, and offer a few + sometimes
major mutations are strange powers
apotheosis is the result of too many mutations
= more minor mutations than half CON score
=more major mutations than Lv or HD
Mutant class exempt from apotheosis

I have some spells for temporary mutations and minor ones could be a curse spell
not too bad a curse but a few will make you weird and  many will possibly ruin the character with apotheosis

7 Devolve into a shambling sobbing shoggoth, aware but no control of a hungry body. Faces, eyes and mouths resemble the past form and protest their bodies' actions
8 Devolve sobbing, melting into a pool of primordial ooze that spasms around strong emotions, animals will lap it up while the living puddle just cries 
9 Devolve, half mental attributes, +50% physical ones and weight. Become more heavy-built, hairy and thick-skulled. Will tear off clothes and flee to the wilderness or a cave and fling faeces at people
