I am pleased to announce that I managed to survive the character creation of deadEarth despite having to roll for 12 mutations (didn't bother with skills though, since you first need to roll 2d6 on each of the 100 skills). I ended up as a Saint Bat fish Alien with a big head, and is able to steal the abilities of the first player character she touches, although she can only carry -40 lbs of stuff. Since the game didn't bother to tell me what faith the mutation makes you believe in, I like to pretend it's batman.

543 Encroaching wilderness. You and everyone within 20 feet of you (at this moment) have cross-mutated with a mammal. Each adds encroaching wilderness to their list of radiations.

Compare moves, you take the higher of the two and the other player takes the lower. Do the same for strength and resiliency. Now one-by one go down the list of skills.

271 Spirit guide. You have a little guy on your shoulder telling you what to do and where to go. Lucky for you he knows what he is doing. If anything bad is going to happen to something in your group, the game master will make sure it happens to you last. cost: none. range: self. effect: binary.

099 Prudence. You have the reason and insight to make good judgements[sic] and to hold your ground in the face of discord. Add 3D6 to reason. You will never fail an influence roll provided you are using it for the benefit of others and the good of all. Add (503) sense danger to your list of radiation manipulations. You can naturally sense those who have evil tendencies (ie. they have radiation manipulations like the damned, murder is the game, etc.).
016 Temperance. You must not and will not overindulge yourself. You can read between the lines more than most and see the perils inherent in any risk. Add 2D6 to gamble, reason, resolve, charisma, influence, spot trap, and haggle. Those skills are now also natural abilities. Add (503) sense danger to your list of radiations.
503 Sense danger. The game master will allow you automatic first initiative. Sense danger does not tell you that danger is eminent until you are attacked and it does not give direction or any other clues.
If you can find the game at your Friendly Local Gaming Store, it might be worth buying, just so you can see the radiation table. Good luck with that though, since as I understand, the book is out of print.
