Message: <blockquote data-quote="Traveon Wyvernspur" data-source="post: 5621166" data-attributes="member: 73201">Philosophy: Necromancy is based on mortality and as the spellcaster ages he is confronted with his own, perhaps the death of loved ones and then his obsessive personality turns towards the darker arts. He would dabble slowly at first and become more and more infatuated with the ability to extend life through the use of the dark arts. He may have also come into contact with undead such as liches and vampires. The obsession would become all-consuming as his experiments lead to other discoveries on how to raise the undead, control them, and make himself even more powerful.How this would color other aspects of his life dealing with his personality and behavior would be as follows: Becoming reclusive to conduct his experiments on living and dead things, secretive and having his own place to conduct his experiments, obsessive about extending his own life and becoming immortal in the process, greedy for more wealth as his experiments cost a lot of coin to conduct and to buy the rare magical components, to pay off people to keep quiet about he seedier things he needs and perhaps uncaring for any life at all other than his own up to and including killing his errand runners to keep them quiet and to conduct other experiments on them as they would be fresh bodies.Just a few thoughts that enter my head when I think about how I've played my own necromancers and how my players have.</blockquote>
