- There are other pages that use the name "Butchery." Follow the link for more details.
Butchery is a hidden skill for Necromancers, trained with use of the butchery ritual. The skill is used in the Risen creation process.
Thanatology and First Aid both help with Butchery attempts.
Syntax
PERFORM BUTCHERY ON [CREATURE] [OPTIONAL TARGET]
Parts
Depending on the creature, they can provide arms, legs, heads, torsos, eyes, wings, and brains (ie: the average street thug probably lacks wings, and snakes are unlikely to have arms).
Part Quality
Depending on various factors, butchered parts can be of various quality. The complete scale (from worst to best) is:
- shoddy
- poor
- passable
- mediocre
- fair
- decent
- very good
- superior
- flawless
- perfect
Part Types
Known body part types are creatural, demonic, humanoid, or monstrous.
Part Sizes
Known body part sizes are tiny, little, small, medium, large, very large, and huge.
Skill Gain
There are 1000 possible "ranks" for the butchery skill.
| Success Message | Rank Gain |
|---|---|
| You are certain that your knowledge of butchering has improved. | +1 |
| You are certain that your knowledge of butchering has greatly improved. | +2 |
Note: You will continue to receive these messages periodically after reaching "perfect skill".
Skill Levels
There is no way to see your actual skill level, so you must track it on your own if that's important to you.
Alternatively, you can visit one of the cold laboratories in a guild and ASK the NPC there ABOUT BUTCHERY to see which broad skill tier you fall into:
| Ranks | Message |
|---|---|
| 0-99 | very little skill |
| 100-199 | poor skill |
| 200-299 | slight skill |
| 300-399 | below average skill |
| 400-499 | average skill |
| 500-599 | fair skill |
| 600-699 | good skill |
| 700-799 | excellent skill |
| 800-899 | amazing skill |
| 900-999 | outstanding skill |
| 1000+ | perfect skill |
Grandfathering
Any Necromancer older than the Risen system was automatically granted some ranks in the butchery skill via grandfathering. Each PC received ranks equal to their circle*2. (If you were circle 200 you were awarded 400 ranks.)
