Mutations
Mutations (rules, examples, misc) posted in Gamma World forum comment posted by derek_holland Power Pollen
Amazing, Automatic, CON
The plant's pollen gives an enhancement to anything that consumes enough of it (usually a handful of flowers). This may be a +1 to an ability score, a perk, or an Ordinary mutation. In any case the recipient has the enhancement for 6-8 weeks. Many such consumers protect the plant out of self interest.
An evolutionary variant is also Amazing but does not affect the consumer, but rather their offspring conceived thereafter. The pollen from one species of mutant only affect a specific bloodline once.
Enslavement Pollen
Good, Automatic, CON
The plant's pollen induces a desire to protect the plant at all costs. This takes a fair amount of pollen for a human-sized being- consuming all the flowers or being exposed for 2-3 weeks. Those who are enslaved lose their higher mental functions and will protect the plant until they die of hunger or thirst.
Oracle Pollen
Good, Automatic, CON
The plant's pollen transfers a genetic memory to those who consume it. This is the result of Ancient technology wiring in what they considered important knowledge into the environment at large. The specific mutation usually has positive and negative effects as they are very difficult for the average Gamma Age person to understand.
Obviously I mean inhale or eat by consume for all of these mutations.
