Some attain power through training with weapons over years, becoming one with their blade or bow. Some train in the arcane arts, having an uncanny knack for it or having the tools to use it. Some call to the Primal Spirits for aid, drawing energy from beings such as the World Serpent or the Primal Beast. Others may call the gods to grant powers of phenomenal energy.

But you are different.

In some cases, you are the weapon, through toughened skin and hormone-induced rampages, or through changes in your body altering to become weapons of bone, gristle and muscle that can be just as destructive as iron-wrought blades. Or perhaps your body channels energy that flows from the realms above and below to the world, using them as weapons without dragon's blood or spellbooks. Maybe even, your body is disease-ridden with mutation, and the spirits of pestilence and plague answer your call, wishing to aid you when others look upon them with disgust.

You are a mutant, an outcast even amongst the outcasts. Your body has been subjected to change, most-likely naturally, via genetics, a subject that is even beyond most wizards' comprehensions. Most good gods will have nothing to do with you, seeing you as bad seeds that need to be crushed, and even the spirits, wishing for balance, fear that you would upset it. For you, adventuring far away from those points of light is your freedom, for in that light, you are shown for what you trully are: an aberration from the rest of the population. For you, the darkness of the majority of the world is your closest ally. For in the darkness of the wilderness, only the strong survive, and you are a cut above...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you the Mutant classes. These four, each for a role in the party, are for the most part different from the other classes. The four presented: The Erudite, Flesh-Weapon, Hulk and Pariah, are going to be presented in a monthly scheduled, starting with the Erudite. These classes are in development, and any comments and criticisms are deeply appreciated. Thanks in advanced, MtM!
