An Updated View On Necromancy

Suggested Price $0.50

When this was first written in 2017, I would not have expected Xanathar's and Tasha's to resolve a simple longstanding issue I had with the Necromancer fantasy trope: Necromancers bad and have armies of undead. Much time has passed, and that has since been resolved, but I invite you to give what I wrote a try!

Whether you're a player or a DM, if you're tired of necromancy requiring a high level capstone to achieve a concept of and you hate micromanaging 42 minions, this might be for you. This is a lightly updated version of the wizard's School of Necromancy that sticks true to the core rulebook but includes options empowering wizards and non-wizards alike in managing their undead without also endorsing the typical, complicated, "undead army" meta.

This allows for great abilities tied to a single undead creature, gives the ability to heal them at a sensible cost, and gives earlier entries to creating undead mid-combat that don't require the famous 7th level Finger of Death spell.

By no means does this replace the multitude of undead made by Animate Dead or Create Undead. It simply endorses quality over quantity.

The stock Animate Dead and Create Undead aren't very good unless you want a horde of lesser undead cluttering up your battle map. I like what I see here, and think it's reasonably balanced. It gives the Necromancer class features that don [...]

I really like the options this provides for expanding the Necromancer's options over the PHB version without creating an entirely new sub-class. Well done. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
