Notes

Protect a corpse from necromancy:  Int + Occult Lore + Aura + stress die (vs. 8+) (6+Aura+die)    Summoning a corpse:  Int + Necromancy + Occult Lore + Connection bonus + Aura + stress die vs. draug's Might  (10+Aura+die)    Immobilizing a summoned draug:  Str + Size + Brawling (+11) vs. draug's Str + Brawling + 6 (4...10?)    Control a summoned draug:  Pre + Occult Lore + Leadership + Aura + stress die vs. draug's Might (every 5 levels or fraction  gains one command) (11+Aura+die)    Transferring mind into fylgja:  Int + Hamfarir vs. 9+ (5+)    +3 Bonus to Natural Resistance rolls because of Faerie Blood.      Thorbrand is a skald, a norse bard/storyteller/poet. He can memorise thousands of lines of poets,  and can use Storytelling skill to teach others (like Lectio). (+2 Social Class Virtue, Skald, containing  the +3 Virtue Audio Eidetic Memory)    He is also a necromancer, or a draugadróttin. He can summon a dead corpse from its grave, and  command it to do his bidding if he can wrestle with it, immobilize it and give it a "breath of life".    He is accompanied by Randgrith (="Shield-Destroyer"), a Valkyrie (his Hamingja), who watches over  him like a Ghostly Warder (See ArM4). Only he and people with Second Sight can see Randgrith.  (from the +4 Virtue Hamingja)    Thorbrand is also accompanied by an animal spirit (fylgja), a raven, which is a gift from Odin after  he sacrificed his right eye (-1 Flaw Missing Eye). The norse community respects him highly because  of this. Although the raven is positively attuned to Thorbrand, he doesn't know it, and cannot see  it. The existance of the fylgja will be revealed to him at some point in his life. (comes from the +2  Virtue Hamfarir, which is available as a Latent Magical Ability from Troll Blood)    To make matters more complicated, Thorbrand is also accompanied by an ancestor ghost, Alfgeir,  who bugs him sometimes. (-2 Flaw Haunted)    Thorbrand's family is involved in a blood feud, and there have been a few deaths already.
