Hekau Necromancy Path
of
the Mortal
This Path enable the Necromancer to affect living tissues, instead
of unliving or dead ones. This Path tries to affect what can be
considered Life. While it can't create life from nothing, it
can help Life sustain itself. Healing, Regeneration, but also
darker effects are possible with this Path. There is no known
way to revive the dead unless the body is freshly dead and intact
(similar conditions to normal hospital conditions to reviving...)
* : Minor Healing: This power can stabilize most minor wounds (up to any -2)
to avoid infections, etc..
** : Torpor: This power enable the Necromancer to force a deep coma
on the subject. For a limited amount of time, the slowed physiology
of the subject enable him to survive most wounds, poisons and
deseases. Of course, upon awakening, the suject suffer from
the same problems unless something have been done. This power can
help the subject by giving more time for medical help to arrive,
help for some delicate surgery, etc.. this power can be used also
to make the subjet inconscious.
*** : Healing: The Cainite Necromancer can guide and speed up healing.
By applying this power, each wounded Health Level is considered as
on Level lower in time recovery.
**** : Regeneration: This power need Vampire Vitae to work, one for each
level. Should the subject actively participate to the ritual by spending
Temporary Willpower points (which means the subject can't be anesthezied),
or the Necromancer doing the same by spending Permanent Willpower
points, the subject can roll Stamina+Fortitude to immediately heal one
Health Level per success. It can effectively stop most poison and toxin
damage (not healing, but at least stoping the damage, which lets the
body recovers...). With a Difficulty of 8, this can even heal
Aggravated Damage and amputation.
***** : Resurrection: This power is complicated, as one must first recover
both the body of the subject, his soul (Wraith, etc.). This mean that
not all bodies can be recovered, only those who would have been, Wraiths.
Of course, a significant percentage of Wraiths suffered from rather
definitive trauma, which mean the body isn't intact enough for resurrection.
This power don't heal damage. It only bring back the soul to try it a new
live in a partially living body. Thus a poisonned body would suffer once
more from the poison, a wounded body is still wounded, etc. (the body is
at maximum Incapacited, meaning it needs immediate help). Decapited bodies
needs a special treatment as the Necromancer must cast the same Turn
both Regeneration and Resurrection (by dividing the Dice Pools!). Bodies
which were submitted to extreme conditions (as extreme frost -- even
artificial hibernation as it destroy neurons!--, exposure to elements like
fire, rain, water, concussion by explosives, torture, etc.) must be treated
as if having been decapited. Thus, most bodies will need both Resurrection and
Regeneration, with an expenditure of a permanent Willpower Point. Bodies
which were mummified, as well as bodies too old are beyond this power...
* : Level 1 Power
** : Level 2 Power
*** : Level 3 Power
**** : Level 4 Power
***** : Level 5 Power
