Difference between revisions of "Good mutations"

Revision as of 07:37, 10 December 2023

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This is a list of all of the good mutations which can be acquired. While most of these are useful to any character, some may in fact be significantly detrimental to some builds. Even so, they are included here because "good mutation" is a technical term in the game, not a qualitative judgment. Any of these can be acquired through any source of good mutations, such as a potion of mutation.

Some of these mutations will prevent your character from wearing items in certain equipment slots. While this penalty may outweigh the gain your character receives, bear in mind that races which cannot use those slots (ogres, trolls, felids, etc.) lose nothing.

History

Prior to 0.27, you could obtain many different scale mutations; there was a hard limit of 3 levels (of any combination of scale mutation) at a time. Blink (mutation) was removed, Noise Dampening was added.
Prior to 0.14 the Fast mutation was available as a random mutation and the Antennae mutation did not show invisible enemy indicators outside range 3 & 5 at ranks 1 & 2.
In 0.13, the Teleport Control, Strong Stiff, and Flexible Weak mutations were removed, and Improved Attributes was changed to only have 2 levels, each of which granted +2 to an attribute.
