Necromancers

Update (8/10/24):  Made a few updates to the Balefire potencies which will make them easier to understand and utilize in game.  Same great Balefire goodness, now easier to use!

Herein contains the Necromancer class, fully compatible with Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, with five specializations offering very different gameplay and excitement.  Includes new mechanics, new spells, new feats, and a whole new way to look at everyone's favorite villain. 

While others use magic to do paltry things like conjure fire or fly, necromancers are masters over the very essence of life and death. They learn to raise the dead and siphon away life energy from others, utilizing both for their own purposes.

Necromancers can specialize in different ways. The traditional Reanimator is capable of summoning hordes of undead, while the Anathemist focuses on constructing a single “pet”. Cicatries utilize their skill with life and death for the benefit of others, while Cabalists focus their energies on seeking out even deeper secrets, heedless of the moral implications. Finally, the Reapers are those who got too close to an evil spirit, which has now become attached to them.

Now you don't have to be jealous of someone else's zombie buddie -- you can have your own!  Raise some undead today!
