[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6283149, member: 9037"] In my case I believe giving up two schools of other magic to be a necromancer should give you more than it does. I am not saying animating dead at first level but how about being able to control them at some level at first level. Or if you allow animate maybe start small like small animals. Allow some of the flavor in at lower levels. Have a way for a multiclass to actually be a multiclass at the very start.
