Amphibious Mutation
As the days slowly turn into a week, your body undergoes a series of changes that alters your physiology to be better adapted to a wet climate.
The webbing between your hands and toes expands to grant you increased mobility while submerged. While swimming, lower all Athletic Difficulties by one and treat it like a Tagged Skill if it is not already. This extra skin is elastic but can still get in the way. Raise all Complication Ranges by 1 when using your hands for a task.
Increased lung capacity grants you the ability to hold your breath for up to ten minutes, however speaking greatly reduces this timeframe. Any damage dealt to your torso while holding your breath will cause you to expel the air you have trapped inside of you.
Your skin also takes on an elastic quality while most of the hair the doesn't grow on your head falls out. You must submerge yourself once every twelve hours to prevent painful skin conditions from developing due to lack of moisture. Certain oils and lotions can be used to mitigate these conditions, however there is nothing like a bath of purified water to take away the sting.
This mutation can stack with the Aqua Boy/Girl Perk, increasing the time you may hold your breath up to twenty minutes, removing the radiation damage, and increasing stealth depending on levels invested.
