This lore involves the knowledge of the secret mysteries and intricacies of the body, including the structure, function, and location of bones, muscles, organs, and other soft tissues. This skill provides the scholarly foundation for all doctorial special abilities. This lore also comes in handy with certain necromantic spells (such as Corpse Link, Spectral Voice, and Graft Flesh), which require fresh body parts that have been carefully harvested from cadavers, as well. Secondly, the character can use this skill to attempt to repair corpses that have been badly damaged. With a Skill Points expenditure of 10 Skill Points, the character can strengthen and reinforce a corpse, making it more suitable for animation as a mindless undead. This provides a body bonus of +20% for skeletal remains, or a bonus of +2 body for a creature to be animated as a zombie. These preparations take no less ten thirty minutes. This does not extend to a player character brought back to life. This lore also has some less gruesome benefits. A detailed knowledge of anatomy can help with both the treatment of disease and the accurate artistic representation of the human body. Characters with the Anatomy lore automatically increase their skill with Healing skill (+25% increase to their skill bids/-25% decrease in skill cost).
