[QUOTE="abri, post: 90772, member: 1080"] Thanks for all the answers: I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with neutral or good necromancers. Always been a little worried about giving clerical healing spells to necro (just gives them to much power, IMO), and never liked the crappy necromantic healing spell (where you transfer your HP to someone)... Just bought Hollowfaust and found Arcane healing (L2, sacrifice x spells levels to heal someone X/2 times 1d8+1) and I think it helps a lot a good necromancer. Because let's be honnest there aren't many good oriented necromantic spells around. 1)Good without any question: arcane healing, false life, damage transfer, detect undead, disrupt undead... 2)Can often be used for good but not always: command undead. 3)Used for killing: almost all of the rest. 4) Not for killing but tend to be regarded as evil: armor of undeath, animate dead (and the lesser versions)... In the necromancer handbook in 2E they introduced the concept of necromancers that studied life, I know that this aspect of necromancy as dissapeared from 3E, but let's try to bring it back. Anyone got ideas for new necromantic spells of this kind. There was also the concept of necromancer that served as link between the deads and the living, and this kind of necromancer have been brought back: speaker of the deads, undead loremaster (although the name as nothing to do with the class...). Playing one right now actually, and I'm the only good character in the party of neutral character... They are GREAT for mystery solving scenarios. Ok let's continue gathering ideas. [/QUOTE]
