I hope everyone enjoyed the New Year and didn't wake up with a head like mine!
Having just read the cult description and the description of the formation of a Thanatar head, I got to thinking....
As I understand it, unlike the consume mind procedure the creator of a head gains the knowledge and magic skills (amongst other things) but is not immediately aware of all that the victim knows. He may search or question the head for specific information of course.
If the head of a sorcerer is taken using this ritual, is that sorcerer then considered to be dead as far as any familiars are concerned?
In other words, would the familiar begin to loose those STATS that were added to it during its creation?
If not would the familiar be under the indirect control of the Thanatari?
If it were not I could envisage the interesting situation whereby the familiar might feel duty bound to help his master to a proper death or release and thereby doom itself to change back to its incomplete former self.
Cheers
Daren
