Necromancer Guide Necromancer Guide Necromancers delve in the dark art of animating and mastering the dead. The life of a necromancer is one of isolation. You will be treated poorly by most NPC's that view that your black art as evil. The necromancers guilds are often underground or outside of town. Perhaps it is the summoning of undead that these mortals fear, or perhaps it is your somewhat sizeable amount of power.
Many races can be necromancers including humans, dark elves, gnomes and erudites.
Dark elves are probably the best choice even though an erudites base intelligence is a few points higher. This is due to the fact that necromacners are not only accepted but they are embraced by the dark elves. While necromancers of other races will have problems finding places to shop a dark elf necromancer will feel right at home in Neriak. Many players tend to think of necromancers simply as masters of the undead. While they are in fact the true masters of undead beasts they also feature one of the widest variety of spells in the game.
