Necroknight

The Necroknights are not evil, they are just fighters that feel the power of necromancy are the ways to better fight evil. That is not saying that that there are not evil Necroknights. The Knights generally go through a ritual that allows them to generate some amazing feats. They are fearless warriors on the battle field and are one of the most loyal teammates one could ask for. Unlike most fighters the Necroknights, cherish Strength and Charisma with Constitution coming in third place.
