Using bioetheric electricity, the inventor is able to tap into that which seperates minerals from life. Fine manipulation of bioetheric energy is not possible, but it is possible to "jump start" a corpse, provided it is not too rotten. Roll one die, and add one for every two weeks the corpse has been dead (add more if in hot, moist enviornments). If the roll is equal to or less then the re-animator's reliability, the corpse is brought back to life. Re-animated beings loose d/2 of Int and Cha (roll seperately) but add one to Str and End (due to their strengthened bioetheric fields). The re-animator machine is a large apparatus covered with brass and iron knobs that crackle with electricity. It requires a level (10-rel) power source (engines and generators, although a lightning bolt will do on a stormy night). Cost 10,000. Wt 10 tons.
