[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 9172775, member: 6786252"] The different necromancy subclasses all step on each others' toes all the time. 5e Necromancer stole the Fiend Warlock's THP generation (inferno warlock had it in 4e too, and was known as Fiendish Resistance in 3e), and the ability of evil clerics to Rebuke Undead. Shadow Sorcerer basically cribbed the Devil's Sight / Darkness combo from warlock too, and summoned a big shadow familiar. And later stole shadow monk's shadow step ability. Death Cleric was all about being a necrotic energy blaster. Not their usual wheel house - that's what the mages usually do. Lets not forget about the Spore Druid, who was kind of necromancer-adjacent too! There's not a whole lot of variety in the "dark magic" classes, and we're spread across five casters and two martials.
