Mutation (FiD)

Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page

Mutants possess innate powers either from birth or acquired through extraordinary circumstances, encompassing superheroes, monsters, and individuals with extraordinary abilities.

Trauma Condition - Focus Power As a mutant you require bodily movement to activate powers. Your powers have a unique visual signature recognizable to those familiar with your abilities. Your first acquired power becomes your signature power, all powers you later gain are somehow derived from signature power and creates side affects appropriate to that power.

You are considered a creature with powers with regard to effects targeting creatures associated with your focus power. This includes barrier, attune, command, and sway powers, and possibly more depending on your specific focus power.

Special Abilities
