Minions

Levels: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Requirements: Arcane Focus 1-5 for Ranks 1-5

This stat conveys the ability for arcanists to summon minions to aid them in combat. A minion is brought about by the arcanist summoning a bound spirit and placing it into the body of either a pet animal, or an inanimate but mechanically flexible toy or other object. It costs 1% of a character's life force to summon a minion.

Syntax: Make Minion

Enter an editor to set up your minion.

Syntax: Order minion (attack/follow/atwill)

Command your minion when in combat.

To summon a minion, make a custom attack with the msummon type and use it in combat, minions generally take around 2 rounds in combat to arrive. You can only summon one minion per fight.

Each rank of the minions stat allows you to spend 150, 000 combat experience on your minion. Every point invested into arcane focus stats allows you to invest an additional 10 points into the minion's defenses.

When a minion's defenses fail, the spirit flees and the minion goes back to being a regular animal or the object it was before.
