High density

High Density is the prequisite for Lithodermis. An increased density of tissue and bones that makes it more resistant to impact damage.

Location

Another Maas Neotek mutation. Head to MK on the map. Sometimes there will be a Hepcat or two outside of the building, but if you're fast (and queue the movements) you can easily get by without having to go through them. Once inside, search around for a bit, then head down and mutate.

Effects

This mutation grants:

    +3-5 beat resistance
    +1-4 bullet resistance

Balances out the negative Beat soaks from Nimble Fingers/Leapfrog.

Disadvantages

None, really. Just takes up a soak slot.

Appearance

None.
