DESCRIPTION:
The Health Adept
Full access to Astral Space.
May only cast Health spells and spells using the Vemon Elemental effect.
May summon Watchers and Zombies.
Health Adepts fall into two catagories: Healers and Necromancers.
Healers would never summon zombies, although they are know to try to gain
control over them when they encounter them. Once they gain control they banish
or destory them ASAP. It is not uncommon for healers to have no or little
conjuring skill since Watchers are not as useful as elementals. Still Watchers
can be a valuable tool for watching over patients. All PC health adepts should
be healers.
Necromancers summon zombies and enjoy using them. Necromancers tend to be
magical threats, since summoning zombies is not a nice thing to do. Some
necromancers are rumored to cast spells using an undocumented venom elemental
effect. Theoretically, healers should be able to use these spells also, but it
is not in the nature of most to do so. Full mages who use zombies are know
as necromatic mages.
For rules on zombies, see the _Waking the Dead_ article her in NERPS. For
purposes of temporary control over zombies, healers have a Threat rating of 1.
PC health adepts should by allowed to control zombies on for as long as they
are in direct confrontation with a necromancer. Once there is no combat around
the PC should be either required to banish/destroy the zombie or declare his
character a NPC and hand it over to the GM.
The Venom Elemental Effect is included in the NEPPS: Spellbook compliation.
