Demonspawn Rerolls
This offers strategic choice on 2 levels... first, the choice of whether it's worth delaying mutation acquisition to gain some measure of control over their development, and 2nd, which mutations are worth replacing. Even if the maximum possible number of rerolls is offered (9 for monstrous, 12 otherwise), players won't have complete control over their mutation set, but they might try hard to get a single favorite, reject only mutations that clash with those previously gained (e.g. pro-stealth and anti-stealth), or some other strategy. This seems much more interesting to me than pure randomness, and players that are willing to accept any combination of mutations get the perk of acquiring their mutations sooner than more selective players, balancing out any advantage the selective players might gain by influencing their sets.
