You should start this process at level 20 – as that is the only time where you can actually do the whole process optimally. Oh, and you should also cast Finger of Death on two victims of your choice every day.Ĭommand Undead is also essential because it lets you take control of a creature permanently without the need to recast Animate Dead again.Īnd lastly, you’ll save a hell of a lot of time if you also use the level 7 spell Simulacrum to create a copy of you who is doing the exact same process as you.Īfter a year of doing this process over and over, you should end up with the results mentioned above. The reason for this is that Wights can go out and create a further 12 undead for you (yay for military organization I guess?). On top of that, you should also cast Create Undead and specifically create Wights. How did he go about this? Well, here’s how.įor starters, you’re gonna have to cast Animate Dead multiple times per day. And it turns out that for about the low low price of 5,000 gold coins and a year of your time you can become the proud owner of an undead horde of about 1,700 undead. How much exactly you may ask? Well, Taking20 did the math in this video. That being said, it’s gonna cost a lot of time and a lot of money. The School of Necromancy Wizard is probably the closes you can get to a stereotypical Necromancer in DnD 5e. It’s more hands-on than the others, but hey some people prefer that. So, it’s up to you if you want to take this route. Not the stereotypical “stay in the back and let your minions do all the work” kind of necromancer.
In fact, they’re mainly a frontline damage dealing unit. But they are sorely lacking in the “feel” of a Necromancer. The Death Domain Cleric can perform the duties of a Necromancer per se. It really offers no advantages past that that the other classes don’t do better. While this does sound similar to old witch-doctor tales from Africa or South America – gaining the ability to control the mind of another being. Plus, it’s the furthest away you can get from a “stereotypical Necromancer.” Sure, you get the ability to infest people with brain-controlling fungus but where’s the fun in that? I’m only mentioning the Circle of Spores Druid first because it’s the only class I’m antipathic about. We’ll go from least recommended, to most recommended methods. So instead, we’ll take a different approach today. There are multiple ways to go about it, so let’s get right into it.
#Sword of the necromancer 5e how to#
My job today is to show you how to do it. And more importantly – if the DM allows you to play a Necromancer. Still, It’s up to each individual player. But where’s the fun in having only one of the players in a group have all the fun for a year, while all the other players just twiddle their thumbs for that time. The Necromancer requires a lot of time spent alone and preparing. Unlike other classes which can work together in a symbiotic relationship. I can only guess that the reason that the creators have not included a Necromancer class yet is because of its niche playstyle. Though a problem arises when that character requires a certain playstyle. Any character that you can imagine – you can create in DnD. It isn’t anything official.ĭnD 5e offers you a lot of liberty in the way in which you can play it. Although, it has to be said that this is just homebrew material.
Some players have taken to the wiki over the years to develop their own description for the Necromancer class. The developers just haven’t included it yet. The reason that it is only a playstyle, and not an actual class is. The Necromancer (not to be confused with a Neck-Romancer) is a playstyle in DnD 5e.
