Who is this thread is "they"? Let them speak for themselves. If you want 10 individual skeletons, go ahead and like this post so we can get a count.

1 spell for utility. Warlocks can already get a skeletons as a familiar. Also I don't see any reason why the swarm can't shoot. Maybe as a higher level thing, a Necromancer subclass thing, or such.

i'm not sure that's true. They want an "army" to attack with, sure. And maybe a permanent undead servants. But unless i missed it, I still haven't seen anyone here say they want to roll for individual creatures. We had other spells already make similar changes and it passed first try...

Depends on how many targets you face per long rest.

IMO, that's more of a Warlock than a Necromancer. I realized the spell schools for those spells are "neceomancy", but i never got why they where categorized in the first place.

Those 2 aren't mutually exclusive. Perhaps not the same spell/feature. But easy enough to have both. I haven't heard anyone say they want to track individual things. Yes. Doesn't have to be the only thing they do. No. That's what a DM is for. No. Things have moved away from alignment...

I don't see how a subclass feature that buffs a spell is 4e style. Arcane Trickster had invisible mage hand since day 1. Or do you mean the horde-as-squares? Yea, kind of. But I'm not sure how else to say make a moveable wall.

Sounds more like Unseen Undead Servant. Which could be a level 3 Necromance feature. When you cast Unseen Servant, you can gain an undead instead. Casting it in this way increases it's Strength equal to your wizard level, and the distance it can be away from you by 10' per wizard level. that...

Attempt 2. More of a moveable wall thing. Summon Undead Horde Concentration, up to 10 minutes. You summon a horde of mindless undead. Choose an area on the ground made up of 10 5-foot-squares and is 5' high. Each square must be contiguous with another square. Any creature that starts it's...

I was more thinking Web, but moveable. Which seems spot on for a 3rd level spell. IMO grabbing+some damage is very thematic for a horde of zombies. But you should also be able to kill them and fight your way out. Same as any other summon. Also I expect Necromance subclass will buff it...

Conjure Animals Undead Horde Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute. You conjure nature spirits mindless undead that appear as a pack horde in an unoccupied space you can see within range. The pack horde lasts for the duration, and you choose the spirits' animal form, such as wolves, serpents...

I'd rather see it be something like.. Only half your levels (rounded down) can be a prestige levels. Spread it out bit.

Quick calculations. Level 5 Eldritch Blast deals 2d10+8 = 19* .6 = 11.4 Magic Missile 3d4+3 = 10.4 Burning Hands 3d6 = 10.5 * .75 = 7.875 So a level 5 warlock casting level 1 damage spells at-will (not healing Word or Command), seems fine.

IMO, no risk, no reward, with more retry's being more and more risky. Otherwise why roll?

Nick is an easy 1d6->1d12 damage (* accuracy) Nothing wonderful, but not bad. HM depends on the level. Less than 5 Bonus action to cast it means you lose 1d6+3 (* accuracy) and gain 2d6 (* accuracy). Basically a wash on the first turn. But more damage if the creature survives multiple rounds...

Also Battlesmith / arcane archer 3 seems good. UA Bladesinger can also attack with Int with a hand crossbow.

Agreed. But it's likely more than once per short rest. Yea, still probably the best. Maybe they should switch it to the end of your next turn. Or don't add any damage.

Brute: deals 1 big hit, disadvantage on concentration saves. Waits for others to pick the target than charges in. The Face: good Charisma and Insight well armored. Detect magic and propaganda. Tracker: good at tracking, long range, Ensnaring shot. Tends to stand back and watch the back door...

Beserker Barbarian with Mage Slayer. The muscle. When you need to disrupt concentration. Ancient Paladin, Detect Magic. The charmer. Talks to towns folk and attempts to sus out targets. Then immobilize them. Beastmaster Ranger, the Tracker. In case they try and run. Thief Rogue, expertise...

That's certainly a valid opinion. But it applies to BM as well. Well I screwed it up. Curving shot can be used every round, but I only added it once per short rest. And every ready shot can add another die or 2. So AA does even more damage than I calculated. I'll point out that Curving Shot...
