Quote:Just as a side note, if you ever want to use that truncheon as a melee weapon in its own right, you would want to purchase a move for it.Was thinking of it, but frankly I'm not convinced that wouldn't result in it breaking. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to properly implement the truncheon as a move.
Quote:How many undead can he control at once? How long do they take to summon? Is there a duration and in which case how long? Does it cost energy to summon and/or maintain the undead ally? How does he command the undead and does that take any focus? If you could break down what you see as the "uses" of this move, that would help me price it and make sure 900 is correct. I see attacking with sword, attacking with bow, and simply getting in the way of attacks to shield Raal (though that one is a bit unclear - "performing an unliving shield" doesn't make grammatical sense so it would be good to clear that one up).
when it comes to numbers, I'd actually wish to defer to you on that one, as I wasn't completely clear on how the undead could be used. if you could name a number you'd deem appropriate, I'd have no problems agreeing with whatever you deemed, though 5-10 was generally what I was expecting to be able to use.
The undead would be able to last for a long duration, so it's definitely not a limiting factor on their part.
The undead wouldn't take much energy to keep alive, but would take a moderate amount to summon each one. As a result while he could probably build a reasonable retainer of them, actually replacing them in the middle of combat would be more difficult. He would probably have to spend a turn focusing to raise each one.
He commands the undead via his remote control ability, as they're essentially magic forced into a corpse and bound to his will. As a result, they do require mental focus for more than the simplest of tasks, such as operating simple machines and etc.
the "unliving shield" part was merely clever(or so I'd like to think) wordplay, I merely meant that they were capable of taking hits in Raal's place and standing between him and his foe.
