Billygoat
A mutation that allows mutants to eat just about anything and gives then the chance to barf up parts from the thing they ate.
Effects
This mutation grants:
Passive: +2 to Endurance Passive: +1 to Climb The ability munch
Advantages
- +2 Endurance. A solid number increase, endurance is never out of style.
- +1 Climb. More climb will always be of use for everyone but Leapfrogs.
- Munch ability allows mutants to eat almost anything for hunger release - deathsuits, firewood, spare tires - you name it! It also offers occasional utility with certain types of drug.
- Easy cheesing of hunger mechanics - After the rebalance, good, filling food takes some effort to come by. Munching means that you can fill your belly instantly off of random stuff you can just find.
- Minor healing - Being full off of billygoat-munching does not give you any reflexes debuffs, but also only gives a small amount of per-heartbeat healing in exchange.
Disadvantages
- Incompatible with Vampire. Sorry fangers, you'll have to do without it.
- Barf up chance is tiny. When munching, there is a chance mutant can barf up a part of something they munched - but the chance is so tiny it cannot be reliant upon.
- Does not engage with the nutrition system. Billygoat nutrition exists separately from normal nutrition, both for better (no reflexes penalty) and for worse. Feeding oneself with billygoat means losing out on all the benefits of engaging with normal food.
The Great Munch
munch ability works on almost any item in the game and restores hunger proportional to item weight.
After munching your tummy full, you will gain heals smaller than if you'd filled up on regular food, but you will receive no reflexes penalty for being full.
There is a small chance to barf up a part of a thing you munched - but this is very unreliable as on average about one part will be barfed up each five munches.
Munching also counts as ingesting the entirety of whatever one has munched, which is relevant in the case of drugs and containers thereof. Munch a beer because your endurance sucks and it's thus faster than chugging it. Munch a cigarette to save on lighters; munch an entire pack, to max out on nicotine instantly. Munch a joint to get THC'd up; munch an entire cola of buds and proceed directly to the shadow realm.
Appearance
After mutation you will be given an additional line to your description:
He/She has a little white tuft of hair under his/her chin, and two stubby little bony horns poking out from his/her skull.
