Tags: Beyond DivinityAVault has posted a big interview with Larian about their upcoming, party based add on to the setting crafted in Divine Divinity dubbed Riftrunner. Here's a bit about guys and dolls:
What's this we hear about summoning dolls?
The introduction of the summoning dolls is one of the coolest things about Riftrunner. They're very rare - but also incredibly valuable - so you'll go through a lot of trouble to collect them. You use them to summoned creatures to assist you. The creatures are unlike those you get when you cast a normal summoning spell - as they can be dressed up. That means all the cool equipment you find in the world and which you would normally sell - with pain in your heart - can now be used to dress up creatures you summon. For instance: Your ordinary summoned skeleton could now have a sword+5 and be full of charms that boost his resistances. Summoning dolls can be upgraded and embedded with many properties - all of which the player will have to discover throughout his or her journeys. They also make combat very strategic - plus you can make them do whatever you want since they act as party members once you summon them. There's an upkeep cost - so you'll want to use them sparingly.
I think I would have gone with the term summoning totem, guys shouldn't play with dolls!
