birth_mutation

Character will be born with a random mutation. Beastman using this option will be born with their natural birth mutation plus the birth mutation given by this option (i.e. born with 2 mutations).
The penalty for using this option is a 3% experience penalty.

patched_mutations

Instead of a 10% reduction in regeneration rate per mutation (except for beastman who get 10 free mutation before any regeneration penalty and even then they only get a 5% regeneration penalty for each mutation above 10), the standard regeneration penalty is 10% for each mutation above the number of 'free' mutations.

• Everyone gets 1 free mutation.
  
• Chaos-Warriors get 4 additional free mutations and only a 5% reduction in regeneration rate per mutation after that
  
• Beastman get 5 additional free mutations and only a 5% regeneration penalty for each mutation after that.
  

Thus a Beastman Chaos-Warrior gets (1 + 4 + 5 = 10) free mutations and a 5% reduction in regeneration rate for each mutation after the first 10.
The penalty for using this option is a 5% experience penalty for Chaos-Warriors, 3% for all other classes.

very_fast_autoroller

High Priests are identical to normal priests except that they specialize in only ONE magic realm, and start the game with an extra +1 to WIS and -1 to CON (when compared to normal priests). High Priests start the game with a ring of sustain Wisdom instead of a second realm magic book (as normal priests do). Because High priests specialize in just one magic Realm, they are the most powerful magic users in the realm of their choice: learning spells earlier, costing less to cast, and failing less often than any other class.
