NecromancerEdit

“

Any fool adept can create a horde of wretched shambling minions. A true master of undeath prefers quality over quantity.

Build Options:	Cursing Necromancer, Bolstering Necromancer
Class Features:

Necromancers seek to master the secrets of undeath by studying the nature of both mortality and magic. They are masters of the forces governing life and death, using their expertise to tap into the true potential of their undead companions. Perhaps they have a great many minions - fruits of their experimentation thusfar, but they are quick to realize the benefits of subtlety in a world hostile to their Dark Arts.
   You were entranced by the secrets of mortality and the possibilities offered by undeath. The forbidden lore that would repulse another is your bread and butter. Perhaps you aspire to command an army of undead and secure a realm of your own. Or do you wish to join their ranks as an Archlich?
   Whatever your goals, you have much to learn. You've gathered a band of adventurers around yourself - a rare bunch who can tollerate your taboo obsession. Will you achieve your dreams? Or will fate catch you in its crosshairs, just another corpse to be animated by your peers?

NECROMANCER OVERVIEWEdit Characteristics: Religion: Races:

Creating a NecromancerEdit

The necromancer has two basic builds to start: the cursing necromancer and the bolstering necromancer. Necromancers rely upon Constitution for their attacks. Wisdom aids their curses, while Intelligence aids their companion-centric powers and AC.

More to come a little later...

Necromancer Class FeaturesEdit

All necromancers share these class features.

Ritual Casting Edit

You gain the Ritual Caster feat (PH 200) as a bonus feat, allowing you to use magical rituals.

Undead Mastry Edit

You gain an undead companion, chosen from one of these categories: Skeleton, Wraith, Zombie. These categories do not describe specific undead, seeing as the necromancer's companion is a modified and enhanced creature, but rather refer to groups of similarlly themed creatures. You decide the creature’s relevant details — although the corpse used to create it often decides many of its external features. (These details do not effect the creature's statistics.)

Your undead companion is like an extension of your will. Using your actions in combat, you control your undead companion by issuing it commands just as a ranger does a beast companion (see “Commanding a Beast Companion,” MP 41).

Your undead companion is considered a creature and an ally and can be affected by powers. A cleric can heal it with healing word, a warlord can give it a melee basic attack with commander’s strike, and so forth. You and your undead companion are treated as separate creatures.

You can have only one undead companion at a time. You can dismiss your undead companion at any time, but gaining a new one isn’t a simple task. The link between a necromancer and his or her undead companion is not merely one of master and servant, but a mystic bond that reaches into the depths of a necromancer's soul.

As part of the research you performed that taught you to form a mystic bond with an undead creature, you learned the Animate Undead Companion ritual, which allows you to create your companion from bodies of the dead.
