Re: [HoE] RE: The Slaughterfest that is HOE



Or, you could be like me and get REALLY GOOD (for the
players/characters) mutation random draws: they all
got a mutation on their way out of Roswell due to the
radiation of Mad Science Time Travel (or some bizarre
assortment of words I used to explain it to them). 


SPOILER




Bubba got +2 levels to strength and quickness - now
4d12 in the first and 3d12+4 in the other.

Andrew can now breathe underwater. Fortunately, his
soon-to-be junker devices can't.

Jimbo's metabolism was affected, as was his aging
process

And Lo can now make Smarts rolls to change cards in
combat.
