The Necromancer

There are few who devote themselves to those who practice the art of undeath, but those who are willing to suffer and sacrifice to do so surmount great power. Many who practice such arts are usually misunderstood and are shunned by fear. Many wish to see a loved one's again, or to atone for great mistakes. All the while others are right to be feared, spreading suffering, fear, and domination in their wake.

Extra Spells

The Necromancer gives you these spells when you unlock the spell level. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. it doesn’t count against the number of spells you know.

Extra Spells

Raise Undead

Starting at 1st level, you gain the unnatural ability to bring life to those that have fallen. As an action, choose a pile of bones or corpse of a medium or small creature within 30 feet of you that you can see. You imbue the target with the imitation of life, raising it as an Undead Servant.

 

A servant is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. See this creature’s game statistics in the Undead Servant stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the servant’s appearance. Some servants take the form of the creature as it is in death, are a fragment of the creature’s spirit, while others rip themselves from the flesh as skeletal abominations.

 

In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action a servant can take on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command your servants to take another action. That action can be one in their stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the servants can take any action of their choice, not just dodge.

 

You can summon a number of undead servants equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded down. A servant lasts until they drop to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon another servant in place of another, until you dismiss them as an action, or until you die. You can summon a servant a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.
