Skill Rules & Full Description

This skill allows a character to determine the cause of death of a character in their Death Count or a corpse. This skill will tell if the cause of death is from a Slay, Assassinate, poison, general damage, magical effect, the spell and its school, etc. It can tell what type of weapon was used, but not what specific weapon it was.

A character can only Autopsy one character at a time. The use of this skill requires the character to concentrate while they are using this skill. The player should look at the character they are using this skill on and can only talk and invoke Latent spells while autopsying someone. If the use of this skill is interrupted by either taking damage or the character choosing to stop, the attempt fails. If the character wishes to try to autopsy again they must start from the beginning.

This skill does not stop a character’s Death Count, nor can their Death Count be stopped by any means and still use this skill. For example, a character cannot use Battle Surgery skill to stop the Death Count. This skill takes 1 minute to use.
