Okay, so I was poking around with mutations in Wizard Mode and noticed some things:

  • I don't think the "ridged grey scales" mutation is in the game anymore. Could somebody confirm that?
  • Also, is the "teleport at will" mutation still present? It seems a little broken, though I guess it would be tricky at best to get more than one level of it.
  • Can non-demonspawn characters get the "thin skeletal structure" mutation through potions of mutation? I vaguely recall one of my tengu something-or-others getting that before being slaughtered horribly, but I could be misremembering it.
  • I think the "breathe poison" mutation might be exclusive to nagas, since I couldn't induce it in the other races I tried.

Another thing I was wondering: should we just have a section in here for mutations that are exclusive to certain races, as opposed to seperate articles? (Stuff like the draconian mutations and octopodes' tentacle spike, but NOT the demonspawn stuff -- that definitely deserves its own article.) --spudwalt 09:19, 30 March 2013 (CET)

I'd say it's difficult to judge those cases just from own gaming because mutations occur so rarely in the early and mid game stages. The per cent value to get a certain mutation is quite small! - At least for the "spit poison" mutation I can definitely say that it is still "lurking" to grab you. My recent 0.11.2 HEGl has got this good mutation by good luck. -- Bwijn 10:46, 30 March 2013 (CET)
