And at the level you'd lose Greater Animate Dead, you could pick up Mass Reanimate (raising many of the weaker undead) and/or Create Undead (allowing you to produce the strongest possible individual/small set of undead minions). In other words, if there's something that's supposed to be a pretty core tenet of the experience, it should grow with you, not just remain frozen in place.*More or less, your abilities intensify once you cross certain thresholds, rather than solely expanding. This helps simplicity by restricting the total number of simultaneous options, while still allowing growth. It is, however, still some complexity cost and not none--because needing to change your abilities is a complexity increase, just less of one.*Alternatively, make it a core class feature that gets updated inherently. Don't let the Necromancer not have some version of "Animate Dead", because it's meant to be part of the experience.</blockquote>
