Actually that depends on the gamebook you're holding because the different writers on the other lines had their own ideas on what the 6GM did and it's effects. In Orpheus, the successor to WtO, the 6GM turns the Shroud into the Stormwall that is extremely difficult to pass. Hence why in Orpheus, ghosts older than five or so years that Orpheus starts in post-6GM, are extremely rare. Because wraiths are being created in but never cross the Shroud because they can't and by the same token, older wraiths weren't able to pass through the Stormwall to the Skinlands. It takes a great deal of effort...

Yeah, the Kindred of the East will rise regardless of the condition of their corpse while the Risen require a fairly intact corpse, especially their heart and brain. Without that, they can't become a Risen.

As for Risen emerging in a different corpse, at the moment there are no rules for that. At least in Wr20. I can't remember if the Risen book brings it up or not but I doubt it. As I've been kind of pointing out, becoming a Risen is a conscious choice, requiring one to go to their corpse and possess it. I can't really any shortcuts to that part of it.

While again,...

Well I know what I'll be reading tonight.

Well that's more of a special situation with the Sixth Great Maelstrom, the Maelstrom throwing scores of wraiths into the Skinlands and turning the Shroud into the near impassable Stormwall rather than a normal thing.



The Kuei-jin are quite different from the Risen. Yes, there are similarities but most are cosmetic. What they have is not something the Risen have. In fact, the Kuei-jin can rise from cremated bodies while Risen can't. They need their body to be intact. But while Kuei-jin can only arise within the first two to three months, Risen can rise much later,...

Off of memory, I want to say no. The process and drive behind becoming a Risen is extremely personal and people have a strong tie to their former body because... well it's their body.

Beyond the Shroud is the other novel. Just started reading it. First WtO novel I'm reading. It's alright so far.
