Malediction on Zombies

Postby Vikeer on November 13th, 2012, 6:52 pm

Hi all I I'm was just wondering can Malediction be used on an reanimated corpse ?

As well can Glyphing or Malediction be use to stop decaying of a dead body?

Malediction on Zombies

Postby Vick on November 13th, 2012, 7:04 pm

Welcome to the site.

First of all, Zombies are not in the game. The only thing close would be a race called Nuits which use dead bodies yes but are not named zombies.

Maledication:

When used on the living, these items grant some amount of power over the creature they were made from; when used on the remains of dead creatures, items may inherit some qualities from that being and bestow them upon the wielder.

Now Nuits are dead in a sense. However if used on the body before a nuit slides in than it would be called under from the past life. Yet once the nuit goes into the body it would count as a living creature.

Glyphing - That is the support magic to aid other forms of magic but most commonly used to channel and store magic.

So to answer your question No. Short answer being no really. The skill you are looking for is called Embalming which is the skill to slow down the decay of the dead. While the skill has no full write up you can still use it.

Malediction on Zombies

However it is possible to use animation on a corpse to 'create' a shambling husk...or 'zombie' in this case. You'd need a decent score of Animation and such projects are usually short term, as a corpse will continue to decay and fall apart.

This PC has the Blight gnosis. As such, you as a player need to be aware of what that consists of. Wrenmae has an invisible aura that amplifies sickness and disease. Wounds may become infected, small sneezes may become coughing, and a slight fever may become more serious. A nuit's body will also break down faster in the presence of the Blight. These effects may not be immediate, but within the few days following your encounter, the symptoms will manifest. Some sooner than others. I cannot control your character, so creativity will be left up to you. Best wishes and stay healthy!
