Hubris: God Eat God- The Mutant Class (Mörk Borg Edition)

One of my favorite classes in Hubris is the Mutant. I enjoy watching people shift their playstyles and strategize with this class because it tends to not have “a role” and they have to be quick on the fly.

Mutant

Hubris: A World of Visceral Adventure art by Jeremy Duncan

Since birth you’ve been a corrupted creature, tainted by the chaos of Hubris. Shunned and feared, you survive on the scraps of civilization, hunting down your fugitive kin for coin.

Mutations: Start with two Cosmetic Mutations and two Power Mutations (pg XX). Any time a Mutant gains more HD, they gain a new cosmetic and power mutation. See pg xx for a full mutations list.

Hound Dog: Concentrate for one minute and pass DR 12 Presence test to sense other mutants in 100’ radius. DR 16 Presence test to sense a particular mutant to know their mutations. Can’t do anything else.

Begin with 1d6 x 10s, d2 Omens, and Toughness + d8 HP.

Abilities: Roll stats as normal. Roll d4 on the Weapons Table and no armor. Start with a wooden shield. You also begin with:

Ba-ba Billy: A goat that sings. Very fussy and demands praise and pettings. 3HP, horns d2 damage. Once per day the goat can perform a song. Earn 2d10s but attract unwanted attention.
Fire Whisky: Once per day drink from this black bottle and spew d3 fireballs for d3 damage. Each target is allowed a DR 12 Agility test to avoid. Make a DR 10 Toughness test or suffer d4 damage.
Dung-crusted Pitchfork: Covered in the worst type of dung imaginable. DR 12 Attack/Defense, d6 damage. If a 1 is rolled, the target must pass a DR 12 Toughness test or get sepsis and die a horrid death d3 rounds later.
Rooster Bones in a Bag: At night dump the bones on the ground. They will reanimate as a skeletal rooster. Acts as guard at night so you can get a good night’s rest. Anything sneaking up must pass a DR 14 Agility/Presence test to avoid detection. Falls apart at first light.
Flesh Mask: Painful to put on as it fuses into user’s pores. While worn, look like a bland normal boring human. Cannot use any mutation powers while one but remain undetected by other mutants. When taking off suffer d6 damage.
Horn of Revok: Completely silent when blown. Once per day point at a target and blow (do this for five rounds). Each round the target must pass a DR 10 Presence tests. If they roll three failures, their head explodes.

During the Feast of the Gods, you: 1) Got hammered in celebration! Down with the gods! 2) Were a slave to a cruel master, you killed them with glee; 3) Served a loan shark in Shadowfall (pg XX), collecting payments; 4) Were in hiding in Fairweather after killing a guard; 5) Saved a beautiful human- they are now annoyingly obsessed with you; 6) Did hallucinogenics and touched the very fabric of reality with but a single finger.
