Poll about skills and mutations
🕑 Added 2023-10-13 17:46:30 +0000 UTCHey there, I'm currently enjoying my break from writing, but I've recently started spending some time planning out the chapters going forward. As you might be able to guess, these include the meetings with both the skill and the mutation experts. Now, I have my own ideas and things I want them to reveal to Gary about some mechanics that he may not know about yet and skills/mutations that he should get because they complement what he has/are considered staples.
I'm certain that I'll overlook some things that my dear readers would consider vital skills/mutations to have, so I'm making this post to ask you guys about things that I should include. Now, there will be no guarantee of me including the things you suggest, and even if, it won't be like our dear friend Gary immediately gets them. Aquiring these things will take time.
So, I'd love to hear what you think about this :)

With Gary's race being a slug at it's base, maybe some skills that would cover the weaknesses of such a creature could help? for example I can see the mucus trail being a potential give away to where He is if He isn't careful with it (not even a trail, it could just like-- drip down the tree He's hiding on or something, and if someone is perceptive enough..) besides that He may be a magic user, but having more physical based attacks might be handy, especially if He comes across anything that might be largely immune to magic based attacks/negates the ability to use them somehow, so maybe having tendrils with hardened/sharpened tips? would be a nasty little surprise for the opponent if that happens (plus it'd also be handy to have as an extra attack as well if they might happen to be immune to poison instead, not that He doesn't have a lack of options there) Speed can be the best defense, especially combined with an augmented reaction/perception see/react to things sooner than you might otherwise, and it could save their life (which might probably amount to some eye mutation/upgrade, and extra mobility tendrils?) if it exists, some kind of mind mutation/ability that is basically just telepathy would be a good call, get at least basic images across to work around language barriers, sure, you won't be able to necessarily get into any fine details, but you might be able to get the basic idea across, probably, ideally (who knows? someone out there might take an image the wrong way)

Ya, my bad it was a late night. i was just trying to give more options that might help him with his magic studies along with making use of the things that he collects on his journey.
