The number of skill ranks in each residual skill equals
the Amalgam’s level – they do not retain category ranks.
8.1.4 LIVING AMALGAMS
There are two stages to converting a being or creature
into a “Living Amalgam”. The first is to cast an Amalgam
# spell of equal or higher level than the victim for a
number of days equal to the victim’s level. If the victim
succeeds in making any of the Resistance Rolls, the
process must begin again from scratch.
The second stage is to perform the grafting operation,
amputating a body part from the victim and replacing it
with an equivalent part from a corpse. The Reanimator
must cast the appropriate Graft spell as a preliminary to
the operation. If the victim succeeds in resisting the Graft
spell, then the body part will fail to attach properly and
the victim will not become a Living Amalgam. He is likely
to be very upset at having some part of his body removed.
The actual operation requires a Surgery maneuver.
Reanimators with access to the Medical Law spell list
(Mentalism Companion) may use the Incision spell to
avoid any harm (through blood-loss) to their victim –
other spells on that list will also be helpful. Creators who
are Lay Healers by profession will also be able to minimize
injury to the target.
TABLE 8.5 LIVING AMALGAM
SURGERY MANEUVER
-26 down Spectacular Failure
Doctor Death, you’ve mangled the amputation and the
graft totally. The process has failed and the graft part is
destroyed. If appropriate, the victim suffers bleeding at 10
hits per round.
-25-04 Absolute Failure
Your amputation and grafting techniques were crude.
The process fails as the graft comes loose immediately. If
appropriate, the victim is bleeding at 7 hits per round.
05-75 Failure
Another botched job, but at least the grafted body part can
be salvaged. If appropriate, the victim is bleeding at 5 hits per
round.
UM 66 Unusual Event
Somehow you’ve managed it. The graft has taken well and
the process has worked. The victim is bleeding at 5 hits per
round.
76-90 Partial Success
Very close. You’ve nearly got the grafted part joined into
the victim. Try another Surgery maneuver immediately – the
victim is bleeding at 3 hits per round.
91-110 Near Success
Almost there! A few more stitches and you’ll be done.
Make another Surgery maneuver at +10 immediately – the
victim is bleeding at 3 hits per round.
UM 100
Unusual Success
Magnificent! The process has worked without a hitch. The
victim is now a Living Amalgam. He’s not even bleeding.
111-175 Success
The victim is now a Living Amalgam. Do something about
the bleeding at 2 hits per round or your success will be shortlived.
176 and up Absolute Success
Your skills with the scalpel amaze even you. The victim is
a Living Amalgam, and is only bleeding at 1 hit per round.
