Mutant Powers

[guardianfallenangel]

Is there anything out there that deals with mutant powers in d&d,
level adjustment equivilents, cost, drawbacks all that kinda stuff.
Just got done watching xmen 3 again, and if got me thinking.

thanks for the help

Not exactly D&D, but there are Mutation rules in D20 Future and D20 Apocalypse (the latter book goes as far as setting a Level Adjustment for how many Mutation Points you have, and has an Advanced Class devoted solely to developing Mutations).

There are a couple of d20 supers games out. Everyone seems to think well of Mutants & Masterminds. d20 BESM could also work.

I personally like Four-Color to Fantasy Revised best for d20 supers games. It doesn't require any tweaking of the d20 system, unlike M&M.

i remember trying to make Marvel comics style "mutants" back in the 2E days.

i think it could be done with a simple template, or even simpler you could chose a few dozen Spell-like abilities (take 'em from the PHB, MM, or even magic item powers from DMG) and when you roll up a PC, you roll a power(s) randomly.

There are people I've encountered on these boards who have run pure fantasy campaigns using Mutants & Masterminds and who seemed genuinely pleased with the results.

While I haven't done so myself, I have done the same with HERO. It works out all right.

I'm really interested in running a D&D game using Mutants & Masterminds. It just seems like it would work so much better at higher levels, where things often tend to get degenerate.

I actually just made a character for living supers here on ENWorld that's actually a concept I had for a fantasy character...
