Do Doppelgangers Need to Eat?

Unread post by crb2099 »

A few questions about the Doppelganger spell (both the Lvl 8 wizard spell and the SoL):

1. Do they need to eat?

2. Do they need to sleep?

3. Do they bleed?

4. If killed, will it leave a corpse behind or vanish?

Thanks!

In theory,

1. A doppelganger still needs to eat. Basically, they are a half powered copy but one that still has all the needs of the body of the original including the need to eat.

2. Yes. They need to sleep.

3. They bleed

4. If killed, they would leave a corpse, like a clone, but after the duration of the spell was over it would either disappear or still be a corpse depending how the GM decides.

Which ones? Those created by the D spell or the ones found in the Nightlands (NB game & RDC)?
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
