Necromancer

Class Summary

The Necromancer is an agent of entropy, and an unholy saint of restoration and survival. By tapping into powers forbidden by most churches, the Necromancer has overcome the limitations of death and gives rise to new life, but only half life.

As a Necromancer, you will receive the mantle of heresy while harnessing the powers of death and decay. Your life's work has driven you to the outer limits of societal acceptability, leaving you as an outcast, but still a powerful ally. You are usually reluctantly called upon to fight against some great evil, the likes of which nobody else can defeat by normal means.

Class Features

Animate the Dead

You gain the Animate the Dead feature. You gain the ability to give the appearance of life to the dead, creating minions that are under your control. Gain +5 to Necromancy checks.

Minions are under your control, attack and move how and where you direct them, and may be used in ways you see fit. You may spend Acceleration to enable your minions to attack more than once on a turn or when Acceleration Stacking. When evading, add your evasion modifier for each AP spent to the base Evasion Modifier. You may spend Willpower for Minion-related rolls.

Blood Shields

You gain the Blood Shields feature. If you have a Blood Shield, when you would take damage from any source, subtract that damage from your Blood Shield. After a Blood Shield is consumed, damage is applied as normal.

Necrotic Diseases

You gain the Necrotic Diseases feature. You may impart withering diseases to foes. You may cause your diseases to cease at will. A creature who dies while afflicted with one or more of your diseases, if it is re-animated, continues to be afflicted by them unless you will them to cease. Gain +5 to Necromancy checks when targeting a creature afflicted by your diseases. You also gain +X to all Necromancy checks where X is equal to the total number of applications of your diseases on all targets.

Hungering Blade

You gain the Hungering Blade feature. The Hungering Blade is a one-handed, bladed weapon that turns to vapor when dropped, unless willed not to, and can be instantly summoned again at will. It remains tied to you unless the link with it is somehow broken. When blood is on the blade, frost appears to crawl across the cold metal and consume the blood. At your Game Master's discretion, the Blade may sometimes grant its wielder a boon as it feasts on the blood it consumes.

Lich Form

You gain the Lich Form feature. On a successful Necromancy check (DC: 40), transform into a dark lich for a turn, gaining increased power, drawing upon the souls of your foes to afflict them with even greater pain and torment. Add your Character Level to your Damage Modifier while in Lich Form.

Unholy Decay

You gain the Unholy Decay feature. For each creature that is affected by at least three of your diseases, you gain an additional 1d4 AP each turn, including the turn you gain Unholy Decay.
