The system allowed players to choose their own mutation/power/spell that allowed for experimentation. One player was a Cybernetic Lizard with electrical powers. He got hurt badly during the session so he asked the GM if he could use his electrical powers to heal himself, if he pierced his tail into an electrical socket. The GM said "You haven't done this before, so it will be more difficult, but if you succed on this hard roll you will heal the following amount..." he tried and succeded, noting down that he now managed to do it once, and if he manages to do it again or three times (I don't remember) it would turn into an easy roll. I like this mechanic, and for me at the time it blew my mind, coming from playing video game RPGs only, limited to the set spell list available.Is there any TTRPGs today that have similar mechanics? I've mostly only played DnD 5.0, Star Wars Edge of the Empire, Chtulu, Seven Seas and some homebrew OSR I've yet to see them.</blockquote>
