Carrie

Mutation

You ever been in the Any Port and seen people light their bongs, joints, and cigarettes without a lighter? Seems cool, right? Well, thanks to a mutation known as Carrie, you too can light these things and more on fire!

Location

Getting carrie is quite simple... Wander around the Open Prairie for a while until you come across the fire pit... Once you've found it, just mutate and enjoy.

Effects

This mutation grants

    [ Your focus increased by 1! ]
    [ You've just received some new commands. ]
    [ burn <any> : Set your opponent on FIRE. ]
    [ cook <any> : Roast any raw meat to take care of those nasty germs! ]

Advantages

As stated above, you can light things on fire by staring at them without the need for a lighter using carrie <item>. Additionally, you gain the command burn <target>, a focus skill that attempts to light your opponent on fire during combat using a focus check at the cost of some stress and the risk of damaging yourself.

Being on fire debuffs the flaming person's weapon skill, doubly so for guns. At max dose, a melee user will see a -5 to their tohit, with gunners getting up to -10 on theirs.

Disadvantages

Aside from the risk of self harm during combat, there is a chance to gain a mental illness just for using Carrie. This chance is lowered if you also have the Solar Sponge mutation.
