Description

So I discovered that someone has created rules for Gamma World using the D&D 5e rules as a base. It pulls heavily from the 4e rules by eliminating races and using mutations instead. You roll randomly to determine your base form. It can be a number of different things; plants, undead, robot, or in the case of Opera here, Avian. all this really means is that this character starts with Talons as a natural weapon, low-light vision and flight. Next your roll up three mutations from a chart that will make your character unique from all the other characters. There are lots of options here. Again a lot of them come from 4e, from the various character types your could play or the mutation cards that system used. Opera can reanimate zombies (hence the green guy coming out of the ground), deflect metallic weapons and has a really sophisticated brain so she can ignore certain effects monsters might try to impose. Weapons and armor remain abstracted, so all you have to do is pick the category your weapon belongs to and then you can describe it however you want. This is probably my favorite aspect. You could say you have a street sign for a shield, or crowbar for a weapon, or maybe you actually ripped a highway guard rail out of the ground and now you hit people with it. It doesn't matter, you pick the category it belongs to and that is the rules it uses in game, doesn't matter if it is a little abstract. Not shown in the drawing is the weapon I designed for Opera which uses magnets to launch ground down shards of metal, basically a pray and spray nail gun.
