A supernatural creature is one that has the Creature Powers skill. Some of these abilities require no skill, such as Armor. Others can be used with some other skill, like Abysmal Spines can be used with Martial Arts. A creature that has only such schticks, or defaults the use of the schticks he has to his Magic attribute, does not count as a supernatural creature, and is thus immune to Summoning and other effects that specifically target supernatural creatures. But he sure isn't no human, either! Supernatural creatures fall into a number of different categories, who are affected differently by summoning. A list of categories is provided below. All supernatural creatures belong to one of these categories. Abominations: Creatures mutated by arcanowave to the degree that their supernatural essence has changed, forever marking them unnatural and unwholesome beyond even normal supernatural creatures Just as normal humans fear and loathe the supernatural, supernatural creatures are spooked by abominations. They are tied to their arcanowave implants and thus to their physical form. Entities: Extra dimensional creatures with no or very weak ties to the material world. This includes undead, demons, ghosts, angels and other strange and alien beings. Their exact form often varies, and can in part be a product of the viewers imagination. Some entities can be summoned to inhabit and animate a physical body. Examples include animated skeletons and zombies.
Monsters: Physical creatures with magical powers and abilities, but a definite physical form. Examples include golems, ogres, werewolves and faeries. They are the least alien of all supernatural creatures, and cannot generally be summoned or bound. Many Summoning effects don't work against them, and they can be healed using ordinary Medicine. Spirits: The world of animism is full of spirits, all of whom can be communicated with and who can help the sorcerer. These spirits have a personality compatible with their type, animal spirits are shy and cunning, plant spirits slow and intense et al. These spirits inhabit the creatures or places they represent.
