===R value===
R refers to the reliability of the sample. Samples with high R values produce simple, predictable results. Samples with low R values risk physical changes, or simply give wildly varying types of powers.<!--https://old.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/mowllv/i_write_a_fik_i_need_help_what_to_expect_from/-->

According to [[Doctor Mother]], an R score of 5 indicates a 3-4% chance of unwanted physical changes, and a 0.5% chance of extreme mutations. It also indicates that the sample provides a broad category of powers, rather than a single specific power.<ref name ="I12.5"/>
