Necromancer

Product Information

At 6th level, you learn to gain brief glimpses into the past lives of the dead. As a 1 minute ritual, you may look into the soul of a dead or undead creature within 1 foot of you. You gain shadowy insights into the minutes before the creature's death. These may be images, sounds, voices, feelings, thoughts, or other glimpses into the creature's past life immediately before it died. This feature does not work on constructs. If you use this feature more than twice before completing a long rest, you must make a wisdom saving throw against your own spell save DC. On a success, the feature works normally. On a failure, you take 4d10 necrotic damage and are paralyzed for 1 minute as the echoes of death pervade your soul. Compulsory Speech You learn to use the negative energy of death to overload a corpse, causing it to explode in a shower of bone and ichor. As an action, select one corpse you can see within 60 feet. Alternatively, you may target an undead creature summoned by you and under your control within the same range. All creatures within a 15 foot radius of the target must make a dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 piercing and 3d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful save. You may use this Rite twice, and must complete a long rest before using it again. The corpse or targeted undead is destroyed when affected by this rite. Critical Recovery If you want to get into the nitty gritty of stat priorities, refer to MacroBioBoi’s original guide. Paragon Boards for Necromancer Infinimist build The Matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus-hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace...

You conjure foul, necromantic energy to desecrate the ground at an area you can see. Choose a point within range. In a 30 foot radius centered on that point, necromantic energy rises from the ground. Creatures within the area or that start their turn within the area must make a constitution saving throw, taking 6d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful save. If there is a corpse or pile of bones within the area of affect, the damage is increased by 2d8 per corpse or pile of bones, up to a maximum increase of 6d8. Creatures who fail the save additionally have disadvantage on the next saving throw they make before the end of their next turn. While the spell lasts, the affected area is difficult terrain. Shadow Mages have a 10% chance to stun for 2 seconds. This cannot happen to the same enemy more than once in a five second window of the first stun. Those studying the Book of Undead Divination usually choose to focus their incredible intellect on speaking with the dead to learn from them. They know that as useful as damaging spells and summoning minions may be, knowledge is the real power. They seek out the most well known ghosts, ancestors, and other deceased to learn their biggest secrets or how to defeat a difficult foe.Mark Neale (director), William Gibson (subject) (2000).

Let's get digital in one of the milestones of modern Sci-fi enabling a little beast called Cyberpunk, also known as the coming future, to enter the scene. Neuromancer. Wintermute's sibling AI, physically located in Rio de Janeiro. Neuromancer's most notable feature in the story is its ability to copy minds and run them as RAM (not ROM like the Flatline construct), allowing the stored personalities to grow and develop. Unlike Wintermute, Neuromancer has no desire to merge with its sibling AI—Neuromancer already has its own stable personality, and believes such a fusion will destroy that identity. Gibson defines Neuromancer as a portmanteau of the words Neuro, Romancer and Necromancer, "Neuro from the nerves, the silver paths. Romancer. Necromancer. I call up the dead." [8] For Lance Olsen "Gibson becomes the new romancer behind Neuromancer, revitalizing the science fiction novel, the quest story, the myth of the hero, the mystery, the hard-boiled detective novel, the epic, the thriller, and the tales of the cowboy and romantic artist, among others. He represents old stories in a revealing revamped intertexual [sic] pastiche." [9]

You are able to channel more of your necrotic will into your spells. When you deal necrotic damage with a necromancer spell, you may add your intelligence modifier to the damage dealt. Life from Death While sacrificing your minions is the common play for endgame builds, most builds actually use minions while leveling, and this build is not different. Here are the minions you should use for this build: Hit points at higher levels: 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per Necromancer level after first. ProficienciesThe PKD allusions are still there as is the Bosch-esque attention to detail – this is a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds and ideas coming at you at ludicrous speed. There are also the references to Bladerunner and Escape from New York and this makes me think of the shared consciousness and Jungian gestalt cultural observations that Gibson was tapping into in the early eighties. What was going on in this time that made such talented artists as Ridley Scott and John Carpenter also envision such a world? A High Elf stands on a bluff overlooking the battle below. Her allies are being slaughtered, and she must intervene. Summoning necromantic energies from the ether, she raises her fallen allies and turns the tide of battle. Upon reaching 20th level, you emulate a spectre of death itself. You no longer walk upon the ground, instead hovering a few inches above it and gliding silently along; an inexorable bringer of death. A bit of an embarrassment on the canon's part, really. Oooh Harsh! This one's "a landmark novel" that was actually ripped off by thousands of other sci-fi endeavors afterwards, like a chunk of meat devoured by the ever-hungry idea-challenged. Peter Riviera. A thief and sadist who can project holographic images using his implants. He is a drug addict, hooked on a mix of cocaine and meperidine.
