i was making a character with my friends and i chose a drow mage but i didn't know that you cant start as a mage. i wanted to start with a class that can lead to a necromancer and mainly uses magic. can someone give me advice with my character and what class i should pick.
p.s. this is my first campaign so i don't want it to be too hard to play.
Um. You can totally start as a wizard - which is just another word for mage.

Blanket disclaimer: I only ever state opinion. But I can sound terribly dogmatic - so if you feel I'm trying to tell you what to think, I'm really not, I swear. I'm telling you what I think, that's all.
If you select wizard as your class, when you get to 2nd level in wizard you can select the School of Necromancy as your subclass. It might be a good way to ease into it if you are new. There are probably other options for making a necromancer, and if you search these forums you may find appropriate threads on the subject. But if you are just starting them I would say wizard is the way to go.
As a small note, your DM might have imposed a restriction that you can't start as a wizard within their Campaign, but that's definitely a very unique restriction. Double check with them.

Here’s a thread that might help. I didn’t read through it so not sure if it is what you are looking for
