Base Class: Bard
A Ghoulcaller uses a dark song to control and empower hordes of undead.
In addition to the other features, a Ghoulcaller adds the following Necromancy spells to their spell list: Chill Touch, Ray of Sickness, Ray of Enfeeblement, Vampiric Touch, Blight, and Contagion.
Ghoulsong
At 3rd level, you can perform a ghastly song laced with necromantic power.
As an action, you sing a dark song, and up to two corpses that you can see within 30 feet are animated as undead minions. These minions use the stat block of a Zombie. The undead minions act at the end of your turn and you control them. After an hour, the magic fades and the minions become inanimate corpses.
The maximum number of corpses that you can animate this way increases to three at 5th level, four at 8th level, five at 12th level, and six at 15th level.
You can only perform the song to animate undead minions in this way once, and you regain the use of this ability when you take a short rest.
Unholy Command
When you gain the powers of a Ghoulcaller at 3rd level, you gain the ability to empower your allies and undead minions to destroy a target with unholy fury.
As a bonus action, you can expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration and choose a target within 30 feet of you. Until your next turn, all attack rolls made against that target gain a bonus die equal to your Bardic Inspiration die.
Empowered Ghoulsong
At 6th level, you gain the ability to call more powerful ghouls.
When you use your Ghoulsong, one of the undead minions can be a Mummy or a Wight.
Unholy Commander
At 14th level, your undead minions become more powerful.
Add your Charisma modifier to the attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws of all undead minions that you summon.
