Insect Mutations - 5th
Derek Holland

These 2 mutations are based on some insects' amazing ability to survive in sub-zero temperatures (all temps are in Centigrade).

Cold Resistance (freeze intolerant)
Amazing, Permanent, CON
Mutants with this mutation are comfortable in temperatures down to -35 degrees. They have a form of antifreeze in their blood and interstitial fluids. This allows them to make endurance checks only when the
temperature is below -35.

Cold Resistance (freeze tolerant)
Amazing, Permanent, CON
Mutants with this can freeze solid and survive for a number of weeks equal to CON X 3. They also have a form of antifreeze, but it only affects the cells' ability to survive the freezing process. This allows them to make endurance checks only when the temperature drops below -15. A mutant "killed" by cold based attacks will revive by "regenerating", one point per hour (first mortal then wound, stun is ignored).
