Mutagen and Cognatogen together


Rules Questions

The Exchange

Mutagens do not stack with each other. You are also only allowed to have one dose of a mutagen on your person at a time (not drunk yet). When you drink a mutagen, any previous mutagenic effects end.

Are mutagens and cognatogens considered to be the same or are they different? For example I have a mindchemist who took the mutagen discovery.

1. Can I have a dose of mutagen on my person plus another dose of cognatogen or must I pick one?

2. If I benefit from having drunk a cognatogen and I drink a mutagen, do I get the combined benefits/drawbacks of both?

DOH! Looks like I missed this bit when reading the rules.

"Under the discovery for Cognatogen:
Anytime the alchemist would prepare a mutagen, he may instead prepare a cognatogen. All limitations of mutagens apply to cognatogens as if they were the same substance—an alchemist can only maintain one mutagen or cognatogen at a time."

So I guess the answer is that they act as the same thing and you only get one at a time.
