When classifying creatures, how do you figure what realm its aligned to?
Example:
Skeleton- It's an animated creature. Is it Magical or Undead?
Zombie?
Vampire?
Wight?
Etc...
Depends on who or what animated it, how and why. Every realm is probably possible. HoH:TL has Faerie vampires, for example. A skeleton animated by magic would be significantly different from one animated by the Infernal or one that really is a faerie.
And, well, there is no "Undead" realm.
What is HoH:TL short for?
Yes if a mage deside, oh well that grog is dead, just me just strip his bones and reanimate him and he can still carry my books, that is what i call resyceling, then magickal.
If the sceleston rose becouse the land is cursed and there is a big bad infernal aura, then inferal.
If the sceleton is the body of a sait come back from the grave to defend the churth he is burrid in, then devine and so on, the list go on and on.
Cool. I understand that.
I remember the whole thing about changing into a Vampire changes a Hermetic into the Vampire, but I wasn't sure if changed realms... or what...
That would depend on the type of Vampire. If a more traditional Romanion folklore creature, then Infernal or perhaps no change, or the oh so classical White Wolf mix in Tremere plot then I would think infernal yes, though the origial potion witch was just magic would probably mean no change.
Ok thanks.
