Alternatively, "You can use your action to [effect]." This is 5E, the natural language edition.Monster anatomy pet peeve: legs shouldn't be described as merging into a tail. A tail is an extension of the vertebrae, not fused legs. Not to get too vulgar, but consider where the digestive tract ends on a human vs a snake.(At least you didn't say that digitigrade legs have "backwards knees"... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" /> )Okay, with that off my chest, a highly mutation-prone race is a cool idea. WotC kind of did this with kobolds, but the execution wasn't stellar, and they're kobolds so nobody cared anyway. The freaky snake lady race is a much better place for it.One point that may not matter at all depending on your worldbuilding: "mutation" is a term and concept coming out of the modern science of biology. A culture based closely on classical or medieval civilization might look at what's going on with these gorgons through an entirely different lens.Correct.I have a hard time imagining those things being "worth" advantage, since they're not that strong and they're in a kind of awkward position for the gorgon to use (you generally don't want to give an opponent in a grapple any kind of control over your head). I think they're fine being used simply as extra manipulators. It's not as if the race is otherwise tuned for grappling builds, anyway. If you think they need a little more power, give 'em a bit of natural armor for their scales, like lizardfolk or draconic sorcerers.Pssh. No. Go nuts. Make it 40 ft.</blockquote>
