Just because your game master tells you that your players see some immense mutant creature in the wasteland, it doesn’t mean you’re expected to fight it. Fleeing is a perfectly acceptable option, especially if you are faster than your comrades. Art from page 99 of Excavator Monthly Compendium.

If you’re character is unlucky enough to fall upon, step on or accidentally grab one of these docile gastropods, and get punctured, and fail a type G hazard check, then you’re in trouble. While the neurotoxin doesn’t kill the victim, it does slow them to half speed and only allows them to act every second turn. In the ruins, that usually means death.

Teacher: This character taught youngsters in the basics of math, reading, writing and scientific principles. If it was permissible in his or her community, the instruction of ancient history up until the cataclysm would also have been taught — although what this teacher knows to be true might differ greatly from what really happened. The instructor might also share what he or she knows about ancient animals, religions, geography and literature. From the Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules Book section on pre-game castes, page 18.

Fear drives your character, fear and guilt for accidentally killing your friend as a child. Maybe you can’t make it right with him, but you can strive to do good to others, and save innocent lives that would otherwise be lost without your intervention.

Art from page 22 of the TME Expansion Rules We’ve included the same rank advancement matrix as shown on page 34 of the TME Hub Rules for ease of access, although the subsequent rank gain bonus matrix has been expanded to include all the new character types, as well. If you’re new to The Mutant Epoch and want an explanation of experience factors and rank advancement, we encourage you to read the brief write up on page TME-34, however a word on Experience factors is in order. Some say that it is too easy to go up in rank, or level up, in The Mutant Epoch and Outland System, especially compared to other popular role-playing games. Indeed, going from first rank to second rank can be rather swift. The reasoning behind this is that to gain the 60 experience factors needed do so means a newbie post-apocalyptic character must survive several brutal, potentially deadly fights. For example, imagine surviving a hand to hand battle with a black bear, EFs (Experience Factors) 50, or fending off several ferocious mutant dogs (EFs 18 each) or a whole 1st rank party enduring the onslaught of a mutant giant known as a garnock (pg TME-156 with 125 Efs). https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm #rank #rankadvancement #level #levelup #experiencefactors #experiencepoints #rpg #ttrpg #mutantepoch #tme #expansionrules #rpgbook #postapocalyptic #indierpg #outlandarts #outlandsystem #inkart #gameart #advancement #characterart

Adversaries Encountered, an article that discusses how a game master decides how many foes to put up against the player characters. Clearly these three excavators are doomed.
