| >>Risen questions!
Risen answers!
Movement:
The Risen can be set to follow you, or you can manually move it around via COMMAND when it's not doing a specific task for you. It will not be able to go into certain areas, and will get twitchy both in town or in safe areas
Sight and Communication:
Yes, a PC can see and speak through the Risen if you have trained it to do so. However unlike familiars, Risen can be killed (re-killed? but they get better!).
Equipment:
Risen who are designed to do in-town tasks can wear clothing, and hooded cloaks will provide bonuses to them. Combat-trained Risen can make use of weapons.
Abilities:
Risen who are trained in stealth can use stealth. Risen can participate in combat, but will pretty much never be as combat worthy as your CFB zombie, and you cannot use both at once (or more than one Risen at once, either). You will buy scrolls to teach your Risen different things. You can also make as many Risen as you want, so you can have different ones designed/trained for different tasks. The main costs to making multiple Risen is the time it takes to gather body parts, and the price of the scrolls you use to teach them.
Control:
Controlling risen requires a fetish that is tied to that particular risen. Commands do not cause RT. If you lose your fetish, you lose that Risen. Sorry.
How They Can Look:
Risen can look like NPCs, but not PCs. They can also be arrested in town, so be careful.
Risk of Equipment Loss:
This is similar to CFB zombies; If you're equipping one, don't give a Risen anything you'd be devastated to lose. Specific tasks (like sending your Risen to go repair your stuff) are safe, but equipping them directly has a chance to lead to item loss.
Duration:
Risen are effectively immortal, though if they are damaged enough, they have to rest and regenerate for a time before they are usable again. There is also no time limit for having a Risen out (except for the possibility of it getting re-murdered and needed to regen before it can be used again).
A Note on Training:
What a Risen can learn how to do will depend heavily on how much humanity it has, how skilled it was when put together, and the quality of the specimens used to make it.
