Is there a Controller command? It'd be annoying to work with the flesh golem for years and still have him ignore me and scratch his balls half the time.
Hmm... Good point. I'll probably end up basing it off of whatever school of magic said creature is related to then... so for your golem, I guess that would be Life Magic(Which doesn't really fit, but it fits better than anything else...) undead would be Necromancy, summons Summoning, etc. Summoned Undead could probably use either. Which reminds me... didn't someone ask about how increasing skills raises quantities for summons? Something like that. Anyway, you have a potentially unlimited amount of minions(either summoned like elementals, or created like undead and golems), but you also have a soft-cap based on your skill level with modifers from any abilities you have. If you roll under that soft cap, your minions may abandon or even attack you. You might also suffer negative effects, such as exhaustion (unable to cast spells) or roll penalties.
I'll put my points into summoning. Also, where can we get new spells? It makes it a bit tougher to find teachers when almost the whole world wants to kill us...
Spells can be Discovered(Get a good roll on a spell you already know, or a
really good roll when doing some asinine thing) or Learned from spellbooks. Those are the two most common ways, I think. Some NPCs can teach you, or you can learn them from studying/practice, but I sort of discourage that unless you're learning basic cantrips... I just remember in Arcanum Octet I, the first 15 or so turns were people studying and practicing, which was extremely boring.
