necroposting is part of the art of digital necromancy

A necromancer is a healer with really shitty timing

In some fantasy settings, including DnD before the 3rd edition, healing magic is classified as a part of necromancy.

So when a public transport manager plays RPG and tried to pick a healer?!

Is Necromancer a Race now?

Obviously, because humans are not one of "those" races.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

Correct.

In first edition humans could pick classes but elves and dwarves followed their race progression, much like how levelling monsters works in 3.5

For you 5.0 BABIES they more less just functioned like a class named after their race.

(I didn't actually play 1st edition so anyone feel free to correct my second hand grognard lore)

Campaign idea: The party at lvl one gets sent to kill a sort of brigand, a minor noble whose family has been disgraced and is now taking it out on the neighboring duchy. He's very big physically but nothing special so they win fairly readily. They move on, but the guy's nerdy brother doesn't. He comes back from a decade spent studying abroad, and uses necromancy to bring back the brother. He makes his brother into a revenant, unkillable, coming back stronger after every defeat within hours, trying to kill the party constantly, but at a walking pace.
