This was discussed in the previous PR, but I think it's worth bringing up again: Purifier shouldn't purify traits that can exist in baseline humans. Both narratively and mechanically, it's...

Mylie mentioned in the last PR that phenotype isn't supposed to be preserved, because of the whole "human mutagen" conceit. The idea is that if you're nearsighted, and you mutate...

I think the real problem here is that you seem to have mutated Chitin Carapace without first having Epicuticle, which should not be possible. Did you notice anything weird while...
