We’re still doing tiered mutations, designed for both the GammaFinder and a more comic-book themed theoretical “FreedomFinder” setting (which so far only exists as a thought experiment and a single set of soldier options).

Since it’s Friday, I decided to get casual and do a weirder power. So the next dual-purpose power to get the tiered mutation treatment is… Elasticity.

Elasticity
Your body is malleable, flexible, and stretchy. You gain elasticity points, which you can assign to various abilities as you mold and shape your body. Once assigned your elasticity points (and the powers they give you) remain until you are stunned, knocked unconscious, or killed. Any power or attack you make using elasticity points immediately ends if you reassign those points. You can change your elasticity points as part of any other action, but can only do so once per round. You cannot affect the same aspect of yourself with multiple elasticity point powers (you cannot assign both 1 elasticity point to be one size larger and 2 to be two sized larger, for example).
Tier 1: You reduce any damage you take that is not energy damage, or piercing or slashing damage, by 5 points per tier of elasticity. This includes kinetic damage from nonweapon sources, such as falling or crush attacks.
You have 1 elasticity point.
You can assign 1 elasticity point to gain the compression UCR.
You can assign 1 elasticity point to increase your size category by 1 step (maximum of colossal).
Tier 2: You now have 2 elasticity points.
You can assign 2 elasticity point to gain 1 extra arm using the multiarmed UCR. This represents stretching out some loop of your body to serve as a spare limb. The carrying capacity of this limb is separate from your normal carrying capacity, and is calculated as if it has a Strength equal to your tier +10.
You can now assign 2 elasticity points to increase your reach by +5 feet. When you use any elasticity power to increase your reach, you gain a circumstance bonus to Athletics checks to climb equal to your tier.
Tier 3: You now have 3 elasticity points.
You can now assign 2 elasticity points to increase your size category by 2 steps (maximum of colossal).
Tier 4: You now have 4 elasticity points.
You can now assign 4 elasticity points to increase your reach by +10 feet.
You can assign 2 elasticity points to gain the amorphous UCR.
Tier 5: You now gain a bonus to attack rolls to maintain (but not initiate) a grapple equal to your tier.
You can now assign 1 elasticity point to increase your land speed by an amount equal to your current reach.
You can now assign 2 elasticity points to increase your size category by 3 steps (maximum of colossal).
You can now assign 4 elasticity points to turn yourself into a glider wing, gaining 20 feet extraordinary flight with poor maneuverability.
You can now assign 4 elasticity points to gain the ability to make trample attacks, using the trample UCR. Your trample attacks do your unarmed damage.
Tier 6: You now have 5 elasticity points.
You can now assign 2 elasticity points to gain the ability to make attach attacks, using the attach UCR.
You can now assign 2 elasticity points to gain up to 4 limbs using the multiarmed UCR.
Tier 7: You now have 5 elasticity points.
You can now assign 4 elasticity points to increase your reach by +15 feet.
Tier 8: You can now assign 2 elasticity points to increase your size category by 4 steps (maximum of colossal).
You can now assign 4 elasticity points to increase your reach by +20 feet.
Tier 9: You now have 6 elasticity points.
You can now assign 4 elasticity points to increase your reach by +25 feet.
Tier 10: You can now assign 2 elasticity points to gain the ability to make swallow whole attacks with your unarmed attacks, using the swallow whole UCR. Your swallow whole attack deals your unarmed damage each round to those swallowed. You can swallow 1 creature up to 1 size larger than your current size, two your size, and double the number for every size smaller the targets are.

WANT MORE GAMMAFINDER?! OR FREEDOMFINDER?
I now depend on my Patreon for more of my income and support than I ever expected to. If you find any value in my blog posts or videos, I could use help with the Patreon. If you can spare a few bucks a month, it’s a huge help. If not, even just sharing and linking to my blogs, videos, and the Patreon itself is a huge help that just takes a moment of your time.

Thanks, everyone.
