Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spiff" data-source="post: 274904" data-attributes="member: 2359">Re: The Neclord?Well, to be honest, the "500" was just an arbitrary number, since I thought that was a sizable attack force, without really thinking of the limit on the Animate Dead spell.  However, to answer your question, a little background on what I think a Necropolis (at least in my campaigns) is.The (or a, if there are multiple) Necropolis is just a big ol' city of undead, undead worshippers, and undead makers.  It was bad judgment of me to just say A necromancer (although, I guess you can just have the single necromancer that the Neclord directly serves), but there can easily be a coven of high-level (around level 15, I would picture) necromancers ruling the city, as well as a good amount of moderate level clerics and wizards about the city.  The necropolis mindset I was in was drawn from necropolis's such as those found in Mage Knight, Heroes of Might and Magic, and, to a lesser extent, Neil Gaiman's Sandman.Also, for the Necropolis (or any necromancer type characters, for that matter) I would allow the Leadership feat to be applied to undead followers (and maybe even undead cohorts).Perhaps a little backstory to the site of the Necropolis can also explain the exorbinant (I pictured thousands) of undead.  Perhaps the avatar of a god was slain at the site the Necropolis was built on, and such a profane act allowed the powers of necromancy magic to fluorish, along with drawing a large amount of necromancers.Hope that answered your question (lest I use some jedi mind trick <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ).I also know that there were a couple of bugs that I'd fix up if I had a chance to revise the class, such as increasing the aforementioned bonus of Resist Negative Energy to +2/power level, and add in a limit to the number of undead you can create with Denying Death's Embrace.Congratulations to the other winners!  I hope to utilize some of these classes in my campaigns.</blockquote>
