: Wait.. all of the skin would rot off after a few
: months/years.. so how do you turn thousand-year-old
: corpses into thrall with flesh? Can the Fallen
: Lords/shades/etc. make skin on demand? Not to mention
: meat and muscle and whatever else (yes, I know they
: wouldn't need them, but you don't see any
: skeletons{not including soulless} and the thrall
: obviously have more than skin on them)?
Yes, apparently they can. GURPS and in-game text agree on this. I dunno if the older Thrall are just uncommon, so we never see them in-game as animated skeletons (although we *do* see those in Chimera; could be they're just old Thrall), or if the unlife magics somehow grow flesh back on. Probably the former, just like there's female Legionnaires we never see.
