all i want for christmas is perfectly resistant rMut or removal of malmutate/addition of a playable crab race

i tried coming up with ideas for a crab race and all i could think of was innate spiny/claws, hats because a crab wearing a hat is great, and some sort of survivability mechanic related to crustaceans not feeling pain (although i think current research is leaning towards them in fact feeling pain)

alternatively remove the dancing god and incorporate the mechanics into one big joke race of fiddler crabs

You could just play an Octopode and pretend you're a crab? Kinda similar??

But malmutate still sucks and half the time I'm gobbling purple chunks and playing mutation roullette just to get rMut and Clarity. Anything else is a bonus.

Let's go explorin' little dude!
Toxic Radiance technically isn't damage dealing. You're only increasing the poison in their systems that is dealing the damage!
Also Ignite Poison isn't directly damage dealing by the same logic. Not your fault that because of their poison you had introduced into their system they are now tremendously on fire.
Also also Conjure Flame already doesn't allow you to drop it directly on an enemy. They have to be morons to walk in there in the first place.

If the god is a rules lawyer as well, he would allow it. :colbert:

Why does sandblast still require you to be wielding the rocks to get the benefit? I'd thought it'd have gone the same way as sticks to snakes but apparently not.

A sprint that's literally a race would be kind of appropriate, though, don't you think? Blast through the GAUNTLET OF CRABS as quickly as possible. Poison crabs! Acid crabs! TSAR CRABBA! The potential is limitless...

Fiddler species start with one hand missing in exchange for a unique Claws mutation. Very high armor aptitude. Also water-breathing.


Also, in Crab Race you have to be sure to close the doors behind you so that the pursuing crabs don't catch up.

Give them innate riposte that kicks in when an attack does no damage due to armor.

replace boring-rear end draconians with a similar species that starts as a zoea and randomly turns into a different type of crab. fiddler crab! spiny crab! coconut crab! hermit crab! sand bubbler crab! a horseshoe crab somehow!

agreed ->
Crab ability: Molting. Lose your thick (AC+, SH+, Spiny) shell to gain Swiftness and a short EV boost. Enemies will consider your inert former shell a target for several turns. It takes a moderate amount of EXP to regrow a thick shell, and molting cannot be used again until your shell is fully formed.

The Shoutitis mutation could be triggered by non-monsters, e.g. fulminating prisms, orbs of destruction, or tentacles. This seemed incorrect.

What are the chances a beneficial mutation potion gives me Horns 3 as a minotaur?

I have an MR+ hat and just found two potions.

edit:
Found some nice randarts by the end of lair:
the +7 demon whip "Pyli" {elec, rPois Str+2 Dex+4}
the +9 broad axe of Paper {freeze, rElec rF+ MR+ Dex-3}
the ring of the Illusory Ships (left hand) {EV+4 Str+4 Dex+4 Stlth-}

edit2: quaffed the potions slimy green scales (+2AC) and clarity. Nice

All stereotypical D&D monsters should be replaced with crustaceans.
Dragons -> Crabs
Orcs -> Crayfish
Goblins -> Woodlouse (aka pill bug aka rolly poly)
Elves -> Shrimp
Trolls -> Lobsters
