They limit random mutation gain (via unstable genome or purchase) to mental or physical mutations. This can be useful if you're specifically building, say, a high ego mutant and want to take advantage of th'mutation level boost involved by buying several additional mental mutations. Taking esper would make sure there's no chance of getting a physical mutation that wouldn't benefit you terribly. Alternately, a low-ego mutant might want to keep their purchased mutations limited to physical only ones.

Previously, they gave +1 to their respect stat groups.

The Esper and Chimera Morphotyoes block off defects as well as mutations. They didn't do this before, when you had them as character types. Is this intentional? Also, the bonus they give you is about equal to the penalty of not being able to pick physical mutations in the beginning. Maybe they should just cost 0?

also, using clairvoyance makes the enemies revealed act as if they can see you. Several times i have used it only to see everything swarm out after me. This a bug?

No they always blocked off the opposite type defects as far as I'm aware. As far as I'm aware they have no effect other than restricting your choices, and are useful only if you go for the random mutations.

Have just now learned it's apparently possible to fire your weapons and reload, etc, while frozen.

A character before that, I learned that goatfolk shaman apparently just have random mental mutations. Met one with th'fugue. It didn't end well for me. It did end with like 5 purple gs on the screen.

E: Are there no unfinished/pre-release, non-defect, mutations? Clicking on th'unfinished stuff shows a couple new defects, but nothing else...

E2: Re: Esper/chimera blocking mental/physical defects, respectively: No, that's just started up with th'pointbuy stuff. Previously, you could roll up a chimera or whathaveyou with a mental defect. I'm currently looking at a chimera with blinking tic, back in the first public version.

[forsaken1111]

Eh, then I don't really understand them. But no matter, I don't use them.

Heh, that reminds me of one time I found a goatfolk shaman that had both temproal fugue and a laser rifle. It did not end well.

Are there any plans to implement some sort of stealth mechanic by any chance?

Yeah, we have some thoughts on the matter, but I wouldn't expect it before the whole barathrumite plot line is winnable. (awhile)

[Tarran]

Oh how typical; as soon as I pick an axe char (with low dexterity) the glowpad merchant sells a crysteel dagger and a counterwieghted(2) fullerite longsword. I have the feeling the RNG is trying to piss me off.

Looking forward to it. Great game btw!

EDIT: I almost forgot to ask, does anyone else have problems with some lines of text being too long and going "off screen?" Any way to fix it?

Another EDIT: Small suggestion: I think it would be cool if there was some small flavor text/description when choosing your class.

yet another EDIT: I just came across a tortoise and when I "l"ooked at it, it had the same description as a giant amoeba.

Hey where is the second glowpad merchant I heard someone talk about?  The first one is always close by Joppa, but I can't find the second one.  Anyone know?

[Misterstone]

Hullo,

I realize this is probably old news, but I found that I can buy skills that are unavailable to me due to stats being too low if I boost my stats with an autoinjector and then learn the skill before the boost wears off.

Also seeing as some skills require crazy high stats, I was wondering how it is even possible to get stats so high?  Do humans get attribute bonuses more often than mutants?  Are there other ways to perma boost my stats without cheating?

[Frumple]

32, I think, is the highest stat requirement at the moment. That's 8 points from the highest starting amount, which comes out to level 24 or so for being able to unlock them, barring mutations which may allow you get them earlier. You get 1 attribute point every 6 levels starting at level 3, and +1 to all stats every six levels starting at level six. So say Int -- you start with 24. Level 3, you put one point in for 25, level 6 all goes up by one for 26, then 9/27, 12/28, 15/29, 18/30, 21/31, 24/32.

It's certainly possible, heh.

Interesting as to the auto-inject thing, though. I wasn't able to do that, last time I tried it, and it's not working for me now, either.

Re: Non-oddly hued glowpad merchant: I've never seen 'im, personally. Only the light blue/cyan one.

[Soulwynd]

All your stats go up by 1 every 'spoiler' levels. Plus you get one stat point to put wherever you want every 4 levels or something similar to that.

So if you specialize, by level 15ish you can unlock most skills for that stat.

Based on my experience, I'm pretty sure there's only the oddly hued glowpad merchant.
