Alright, alright.
I'll get back to this. (sorry, Team Fortress 2 is more addictive than this, especially those multiply-a-weapon's-stats-by-10 servers)

Still would love some help on the rolls etc.

Evolve blastomere regeneration

ie, let them tear us apart, we'll regenerate in force.

Also, Develop a mouth that is capable of eating other blobs.

Switch ammonia to hydrogen cyanide, continue to expand gas sacks.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

No, chemically speaking cyanide is much more complex than ammonia; also, it has a nasty tendency to behave like a halogen and thus mess with stuff.
Decrease reaction time to facilitate escape and active hunting.

Hydrogen Cyanide is HCN, Ammonia is NH3. Not much more complex there.
Also, nastiness is intentional, I want poison gas.

Hydrogen Cyanide is HCN, Ammonia is NH3.
Nevermind that HCN is about twice as heavy as ammonia mlecule-per-molecule - it includes a triple bond, which is notoriously hard to synthesize; we'd be spending a lot of resources on somethiing with little effect.
Also, we're underwater - poison gas don't do shit down there. Some other poison, perhaps?

For rolls, I use 2 or 3 as being useless, 4 as being mildly useful, 5 being a success, 6 being an overwhelming success, and 1 being backwards progress.

Probably not, no. 6 is 'major effects', not 'break biology again'.
