As barbarian can "tank" 3 or 4x attacks that a wizard can take.Necromancer should have it's undead minion based on Summon undead spell.I.E:at 3rd level you gain Summon undead spell, spell slot you use is counted as one level higher for calculating Summon undead.that is, basic 3rd level Summon undead can be casted by 2nd level slot.Summon undead lasts for 24hrs and Concentration cannot be lost due to damage.apply same benefit to Animate dead(but I would like to see this spell to go away, too much clutter on battlefield)later add that Summon undead can be casted as Bonus action and without Conc, but it lasts only 1 minute.</blockquote>
