Rad-Eater - 3

Value: 3 GP
(Permanent)
Rad does not damage you, and also, you gain sustenance from it.
You've got a special set of enzymes capable of synthesizing sugars out of CO2 and water, mediated by nuclear radiation.
You generate 1 Energy Point at the same rate other people would need to roll Vigor to endure the Rad. However, for every Energy Point you generate in this way, you also need to spend 1 Water Point. Beware though, your body does this naturally until your Energy Points reach maximum, or until you have only 2 Water Points left.
Hence, if you find Rad, you'd better drink lots of water.

If your energy is full, or you reach this water threshold, you start dissipating most of the energy in the Rad as bioluminiscence, some extra heat, and over long periods, you start getting fat.
The color and intensity of the bioluminiscence you emmit changes according to the amount of radiation in the place, so people with this mutation are sought as living Geiger counters.
You still can suffer Fatigue if Rad reaches insane levels. At level 4 and 5 of Rad, you need to roll Vigor or suffer Fatigue. However, you roll once every 6 hours at Level 4, and once every 1 hour at level 5.
