#REDIRECT [[Mutation#Mutation Resistance]]
'''Mutation resistance''' (rMut) provides player a chance to avoid being mutated. Different sources of mutation resistance generally stack additively.
 
 
 
==Sources==
 
*You may acquire the [[Good mutations#Mutation Resistance|Mutation Resistance]] mutation. It has three ranks: at ranks 1 and 2, 66% of attempts to mutate you will be blocked. Additionally, at rank 2, 50% of attempts to remove mutations with a potion of cure mutation will fail. At rank 3, you can neither add nor remove any more mutations: they are fixed. The only way to cure them is to use Zin's one-time ability to cure all mutations. Halflings start with this mutation at level 1.
 
*Two unrands, the [[Hat of the Alchemist]] and the [[Lajatang of Order]], provide mutation resistance when equipped. This is a 66% chance, equivalent to the first rank of the Mutation Resistance 1 mutation. Using both at the same time won't increase the resistance.
 
*[[Zin]] provides a ([[piety]]/200)% chance to protect against attempts to mutate you. Maxed out piety is a perfect defense against mutation attacks.
 
*Being undead makes it so that you will [[rot]] instead of mutate: in general, this is easier to cure than mutations. [[Vampire]]s don't function as undead in this aspect, and will mutate normally. Additionally, [[Necromutation]] causes you to become effectively undead, and so can be used as an emergency source of mutation resistance if you're prepared to deal with rotting.
 
 
 
==Existing mutations==
 
Beyond that, your existing mutations also provide mutation resistance of a sort.
 
*Each mutation you already have gives you 6.5% resistance against future random mutations. This ONLY applies to random mutations; good mutations gained through [[potions of beneficial mutation]], or through use of the [[Deck of wonders#Helix Card|Helix card]] at high power, as well as bad mutations from enemy attacks, still affect you normally.
 
*Any time you resist a random mutation through this method, you have a 33% chance of losing one of your mutations as well. This allows you to use [[potions of mutation]] as limited [[potions of cure mutation]] if you find yourself suffering from many, many bad mutations, though it is by no means guaranteed not to simply make things worse.
 
 
 
==History==
 
Prior to 0.18, [[amulet of resist mutation]] existed.
 
 
 
Prior to 0.15, [[vampire]] mutation effects depended on their satiation level.
