The Necromancer. A new class with thematic flavor. With two subclasses, the Hallowed and the Desecrated. 41 New Spells and New Condition, Buried.
Necromancers, those who tread the delicate line between life and death, embody a diverse spectrum of motivations and alignments. Their fascination with the liminal space between existence and oblivion leads them down paths both curious and morbid, exploring the forbidden arts of manipulating the forces that govern mortality.
Curious and Morbid
Necromancers are adept practitioners of both the divine and the arcane, wielding powers that challenge the very fabric of life itself. Their journey traverses realms where the living and the undead intersect, driven by insatiable curiosity and an unyielding desire to unlock the mysteries of death.
Macabre Practices
Within the realm of necromancy, two distinct paths emerge: the "Hallowed" and the "Desecrated." The Hallowed necromancers, also known as White Necromancers, focus their energies on the ethereal realm, communing with souls and spirits to bolster defenses and protect the living. In contrast, the Desecrated, or Black Necromancers, delve into darker arts, commanding legions of undead to bolster their attacks and dominate the battlefield.
Crafting Your Necromancer
As you embark on the path of the necromancer, reflect on the catalyst that ignited your fascination with death and the undead. Was it a thirst for knowledge, a desire for power, or perhaps a darker calling that beckoned you into the shadows? Your motivations will shape not only your journey but also the forces you wield.
Hallowed Necromancer
The path of the Hallowed Necromancer diverges from the shadows of the arcane, embracing the ethereal realm with reverence and compassion. Masters of life's delicate balance, they channel the energies of the living and the departed to shield and heal those in need.
Desecrated Necromancer
Embracing the shadows that dance between life and death, the Desecrated Necromancer strides upon a path veiled in moral ambiguity. Their mastery over the arcane and divine arts is wielded with a pragmatism that blurs the distinction between light and shadow, utilizing the forces of undeath to achieve their aims, whatever they may be.
The wizard school of necromancy just didn't have the feel of someone playing with corpses and souls so, I made one. I then gave it two subclasses each with lore and mechanics that are thematic. With of course, with some fun spells that definitely invoke the fear the necromancers are generally known for.
I have a friend who is playing a Desecrated Necromancer in a game I'm running. We've play tested it a bunch and am excited to see more of them in action.
