One Unique Thing

A living journal made by the Priestess and Archmage merges with a scribe and takes him over, giving him the ability to summon heroic entities of the past.

Class Features

Arcane Implements

As a character casting arcane magic, your best options for improving your spellcasting are wands and staffs.

Death’s Master

All necromancers must spend at least one relationship point with any necromantic icon. (This may be conflicted or negative.) If your one unique thing somehow suggests that you might be free of this requirement, make a case to your GM that this is a way in which you are unique.

Ritual Magic

Necromancers can cast their spells as rituals (see Running the Game, Rituals).

Spell Choices

Like other standard spellcasters, you choose the spells you will be able to cast after each full heal-up.

Summoning

Your summoning spells use the standard summoning rules.

Wasting Away

Necromancers are frail, gaunt, parched, skinny, sickly, wasted, cadaverous, dependent on unearthly substances, or partially dead. This isn’t just an aesthetic note—as a necromancer, you must subtract your Constitution modifier from all your necromancer spell attacks if your modifier is positive. In addition, you don’t die until you fail five death saves. Similarly, you don’t succumb to last gasp save effects until you fail the fifth save.

Talents

Redeemer (Holy Champions)

Undead you summon release holy energy bursts as they drop to 0 hp, dealing a small amount of damage to each enemy engaged with them.

Mooks you summon deal holy damage equal to your Charisma modifier (double your Charisma modifier at 5th level; triple it at 8th level). +3

Non-mooks you summon deal holy damage equal to your Charisma modifier x 1d4 (1d8 at 5th level; 2d6 at 8th level). 1d4*3

In story terms, you’re not likely to have a positive relationship with any necromantic icons if you take the Redeemer talent.

Skeletal Minion (Arminious, the Fabled Squire)

You have a skeleton minion the same level as you that acts as a servant, fights alongside you in battle, and is replaced by a new skeletal minion when it inevitably collapses or is destroyed. It is not a summoned create; summoning rules don’t ap\ply.

Your minion acts on your initiative, taking a standard action, a move action, and (if applicable) a quick action. You decide whether it takes its turn before or after you.

The listed attack and damage values are for melee attacks. Your skeletal minion can’t heal. When it drops to 0 hp, it’s destroyed for that battle. When you take a quick rest, a new (or patched up) skeletal minion will take its place.

• Attack +6 vs. AC
• Damage d6
• AC 17
• PD 15
• MD 11
• HP 14

Sorta Dead (Sorta Not Alive)

In some ways, you’re dead already. You don’t need to eat or sleep or breathe. You can’t drown in normal water/liquid, though magical gas will still affect you.

When a spell or effect targets or applies to undead, you can decide whether you want to count as undead for that specific effect. (For example, you could count as undead to take advantage of a target’s vulnerability created by the ripping claws attack of a starving ghoul mook you summoned via summon undead.)

The first time you die each level, roll a normal save, adding your Charisma modifier. If you succeed, you heal using a free recovery instead of dying. If you were dying because of last gasp saves, consider yourself saved from the last gasp problem also.

Feats

Sorta Dead (Adventurer)

You gain resist poison 16+ and resist negative energy 16+.

Wasting Away (Adventurer)

If your Constitution modifier is negative, add +1 to your necromancer spell attacks.
