Limbs are an important 
part of any construct, 
and can be difficult for 
novices to create and 
attach. Before attempting 
to create limbs, novices 
should practice with limbs 
from existing creatures, 
either changing the arm 
or legs from one 
creature to another, or 
changing parts of the 
limb itself around. The 
first step in attaching a 
limb is to ensure it goes 
into an arm or leg 
socket. Limbs need bone 
support, simply attaching 
one anywhere on a body 
without the proper bone 
support will not be 
effective. Creating a limb 
socket should, however, be 
done after experimenting 
with attaching limbs to 
existing sockets, so the 
novice has an 
understanding of how the 
arm fits into the socket. 

Once the limb is in place, 
the next step is to 
slowly work the flesh 
from both the body and 
the limb over the exposed 
bone, ensuring a minimal 
amount of air is trapped. 

Then, slowly work the 
limb and body together, 
attaching major blood 
vessels and nerves 
together along with the 
flesh and muscle. This 
step is fairly important, 
if not done correctly the 
limb will not function 
properly. If the nerves 
are not properly 
connected, the arm will 
be numb and useless. If 
no blood can flow into 
the limb, it will not be 
"accepted" (Or, corrupted 
in the case of Kindred) 
and sustained as a part 
of the body and will begin 
to rot. This is where 
knowledge of technomancy 
is useful, it is possible 
to keep severed body 
parts "alive" and not 
rotting for an extended 
period of time.
