Necromancer
Contents
Class Summary
Restoring a semblance of life to the discarded husks of flesh and bone, the Necromancer doesn't walk the fine line between life and death so much as rape and manipulate it. They depend on a deep knowledge of anatomy and the dark powers to fuel their creations. Most of their magic resides in the creatures and spirits raised from the dead rather than showy spells and illusions. They dig up bodies, dissect them, and pry the secrets of animation from their remains.
A Necromancer's strength is in his creations and his link to the afterlife. The ability to manipulate both body and soul is everything: material wealth, charisma, and even family/social standing are nothing.
On a superficial level, it is possible to mistake a suitably solitary and brooding dark cleric for a necromancer. But there are indeed several key differences. A necromancer is, in its own twisted way, an actual mage. They manipulate the very life energies of creatures, twisting the very threads of their being before snipping them off when the time is right. A vast majority of them are solitary characters, though many of them establish small cults and sects of like-minded individuals who all work together to share and expand their knowledge of life and death. Necromancers excel in ways to inflict sheer pain and torment, making even the greatest warrior collapse into a spasming and screaming heap. Many Necromancers are adept at slipping into shadows and observing common daily activities of others. Appropriately powerful necromancers are able to summon extraordinarily powerful undead to do their bidding, varying from a meager zombie or specter to a gargantuan dracolich of epic power.
