NECROMANCER
Necromancers are those dark clerics that choose to specialize in the field
of death. This takes the form of both causing death, and uncausing it.
Necromancers retain all of the spells given to acolytes, at greater casting abilities while they gain many spells that allow them to manipulate death
and the health or life force of their enemies. In some of their new spells,
death is all but certain, and in others, it is put on hold, or reversed. Necromancers have the ability to bring dead things back to life in their service, and to summon some elemental creatures of death (and undeath) to attack enemies, defend the necromancer, or serve in some other capacity. Most necromancers have chosen to all but do away with direct combat themselves to focus on their dark arts, and due to this receive handicaps to
all combat types. The still maintain their weapon skills, and the defensive
spells of their previous clerical classes, but will fight no better than a common cleric might, until they bring their spells into play.
