Long Legs

The subject has greatly extended legs, increasing movement speed.   Type: Minor positive.   Effect: A retroviral program designed to make minor enhancements to certain athletes mutated and got loose into the chaos of the Gamma Age, and this was the result. This mutation causes the subject’s legs to roughly double in length, increasing base speed by 5 feet for Small creatures and 10 feet for Medium and Large creatures. There are also other benefits, such as being able to see over walls, and reach high objects; the GM adjudicates these. Because other proportions remain the same, the character’s size category is not considered to increase, but his equipment bonus from any full-body armour is reduced by -1, because his legs are partially uncovered. (Specially-made armour does not have this restriction.)   Daily travel time while walking is increased by 1/4.   Biotech: Graft.
