Needs "cat understands the instructions of it's bonded character, but has a 50% chance to ignore them".

Disagree. If there is no attempt to scare the audience, it is not horror. What type of monster is in it is irrelevant, it the fear factor that makes something horror. You are pretty much saying "all movies with horses in them are Westerns".

I'm just going by the text. For it not to work like that, you have to rule that the text doesn't mean what it says. It's not as if they are a particularly powerful magic item in any case. They don't need extra limitations.

"Western" is a actually two things. It's a history, and it's a mythology. "Revisionist" compares and contrasts the two. It's like the 2004 King Arthur film, set in the historical 5th century with no knights in shining armour.

Not all speed restrictions. Just things that change your base movement speed, such as Ray of Frost " Speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn." If your speed is 30, RoF reduces it to 20, causing " while you wear these boots, your Speed becomes 30" to kick in.

It would nullify any effect that reduced your base movement speed below 30. Also, monsters might wear them.

You need to check what type of lamp it is. That looks like a carbide lamp, or possibly gas (methane). It's not an oil lamp. Oil produces a lot more excess heat and smoke.

That's more of a body snatcher/reanimator/Frankenstein thing. A necromancer is someone who speaks to the dead.

This kind of thing is always going to be difficult to adjudicate, and tends to fall between multiple stools. Personally, if an NPC were to cast Detect Thoughts on a PC I would ask the player "what is your character thinking?" and go with whatever they said. But there is no right or wrong way...

Brave Sir Robin was forced to eat them.

The Owlcat Pathfinder games. But those lanterns are magical.

Dollars trilogy seems pretty obvious. High Noon, for when most of the players fail to turn up. Left field: The War Wagon

That, I completely disagree with. I can think of fantasy, comedy, romance, martial arts, superhero. etc, movies featuring fighting vampires. But the best movies transcend convenient genre labels in any case.

Depending how "medieval" you want your D&D, this miner's helmet has a carbide lamp, which generates a lot less heat than oil. You could always have Fantasy Oil(tm), that burns with a lot less excess heat than real world oil.

No reason a fighter couldn’t stick a candle on their helmet. It’s likely to be lost in a fight, but they can replace it afterwards. A helmet designed for a candle would have a spike to hold it in place. Miners have to do some pretty physical stuff.

Miners did stick candles on their helmets before electric lamps.

That's what I suspected. I would allow an artificer to construct a hands free shoulder mounted lantern hanger, or something like that - it's a realism issue, not a balance issue (Light Cantrip). And realism says the lantern gets very hot, and doesn't like to be bounced around.

I've seen it in video games.

"Goon Squad" is a good description. And yes, that is what people want. Video game necromancers generally summon a range of different, specialised undead, not just a horde of generic skeletons. And that's very much part of the fun. And the OP is right: there is absolutely no way you can do that...
