I am change itself... CLASS

The Mutant

You lurk in the shadow of the “pure” ones, in the ruins of the Wastelands. The others, the “normal” ones, would say you represent the debasement of the species, a genetic collapse. But no, they are

wrong. You are not less than pure, you are something more. You are strong where the unchanged are weak, fast where they are slow—alive where nothing else can survive. Where they would keep themselves the same and change only their surroundings to conform to their wishes—by force if necessary—you know this is not always possible. You know that to survive means to adapt, and adapting is what you do best.

RACE

You may choose a race for which your character was before being changed by the wastes. You choose as many physical attributes of the race you were before, however, you much choose at least one “tell” from the list below. You may also choose to take the moves from your chosen race instead of your class moves.
