Mutations

Mutations are one of the primary ways that your character will change and advance throughout a campaign in Ur Crypts. Characters can acquire mutations from a variety of sources throughout the world. The most common sources are from wild medicine, foraged food, eating the raw flesh of animals, and long stretches of time in mutagenic areas, such as the Shifting Jungle. Generally speaking, powerful wild medicine that can heal grievous wounds and eating ill-prepared food have a higher chance of granting strange or non-beneficial mutations. Every region is associated with certain characteristic mutations that are common among the people who live there, and mutations gained from local medicine or locally foraged food will be biased toward granting mutations with a local flavor.
