    A necromancer class could be what the mastermind was in CoH that is an AT that controls several pets. However they should open a necromancy power tree too

    Necromancy power tree?

    Outside of undead controllable pets I can't really see what it could bring that isn't already part of another tree. Thinking primarily of darkness and infernal (and somewhat sorcery in general).

    Building a necromancer AT with current abilities would be possible though not sure how it would really distinguish itself from the existing ones.


    Not saying that it couldn't (or shouldn't) be done, just that I don't see how it could be done. Maybe if you gave some examples of powers that would distinguish it we could judge it better.

    It's not like bringing dead back fits into superherogenre kind of game. That's why Takofanes is the baddie.
    Were not playing Warlocks and Wizards, allthou changing MC to a midevil castle and we would be rather close to one.

    And, making necromatic powers using AT, it would take 1st making Power Set for it. Like a Free Form.

    Are you sure that zombies have nothing to do with superheroes?

    Ha! You beat me to it!

    And that's one of my favorite things about the comic book/super-hero "genre", just about anything can fit! It's all the genres rolled into one! :biggrin:

    Thing was about necromancy, not being a undead/zombie. There's plenty of undead people in superherogenre.

    1st one is a zombie, undead. Superstrong. Cannot perform anykind of necromancy. The Behemoth AT.
    2nd one, can control fire, can hypnotize, can summon a spirit. Not really using necromancy.
    The Mind AT. Or the Void which is closer to "necromacer class".

    Heh, having a "healer" with rez powers would be the epitome of necromancy! :tongue:

    BTW, most of your "general sorcerers" in comics use necromancy at some time or another, as well as many known and unknown magic systems. It's kind of like the mystic version of "comic book scientist"...you know ALL magic because you're just...that...good. :biggrin:

    Not that any of that has anything to do with making a necromancer AT, though. I think I agree with the "there's enough powers to pick and choose and simulate one close enough" faction. Not that that helps a Silver player much, though.

    This is not using necromancy?

    Necromancer? Easy. just mix-up powers from the Darkness and Infernal Supernatural sets, being sure to grab March of the Dead from Ebon Sorcery.

    No need for a whole new powerset.

    I'd prefer a flat out pet user. New, more powerful pets at each level. At level 40 you get a Charizard.

    That's the exception, not the rule.

    Name me one hero who in his everyday crime busting uses necromancy, or more specifically zombies and other raised undead beings.
