HELP BODY PARTS

The necromancer practices earnestly to perfect the
art of amputation. With careful skill and precision,
the necromancer is able to remove a body part from
a corpse in such a way that it becomes useful to them
later. This amputation can only be performed on a 
freshly killed corpse as this is the only way to 
retain an optimal amount of muscle tissue and nerve
connectivity.  Once removed, however, the part can
be stored successfully for quite some time.

Body parts are used by necromancers for creating
a soul vessel (help soul vessel), which they can,
in turn, animate and control. However, not just
any old parts can be used to create a soul vessel
of any value. The necromancer must carefully
assemble the parts based on the type of creation
they plan to animate. In order to do this, the
necromancer must become familiar with the various
parts they are able to amputate. 

Body parts have a number of important characteristics
that one must keep in mind. Each body part has:
a level, a size, a classification, a type, and 
a location

* Part Level:
   Is based on the level of the corpse from which it
   came, but can be no greater than the level of the
   necromancer at the time of the amputation.
  
* Part Size
   Is based on the size of the corpse from which it
   was amputated.
  
* Part Classification
   A body part can be classified as one of:
  Warrior, scoundrel, or enchanter
   The classification is determined by the corpse
   from which is was amputated.
  
* Part Type
   A body part can be typed as one of:
   Humanoid, nonhumanoid, animal, avian, aquatic,
   or dragon.  The type is determined by the
   corpse from which it was amputated.
   
* Part Location
   A body part can be one of:
   head, arms, legs, torso.  The location is
   decided by the necromancer when performing
   the amputation.  Not all corpses are capable
   of producing each of the 4 locations, and
   a corpse can yield only one part before
   it is considered unusable.
