Baleful Baying. Every enemy within 30 (3rd Level)/ 90 (9th Level) / 150 (15th Level) feet of the darkstalker that can hear it must succeed on a Wisdom Saving throw against your Spell DC or be frightened until the end of the darkstalker's next turn or until the darkstalker is incapacitated. A frightened target that starts its turn within 30 feet of the darkstalker must use all its movement on that turn to get as far from the darkstalker as possible, must finish the move before taking an action, and must take the most direct route, even if hazards lie that way. A target that successfully saves is immune to the baying of all darkstalkers for the next 24 hours.

Deathly Burst. When the darkstalker dies, or as a reaction from the creator when it's lower than a quarter of its hit point maximum, it can conjure a 15-foot emanation necrosis psionic burst from itself.

Height of Necrotic

5th-Level Mortis Puppeteer Feature
You see a further glimpse into the world of necromancy, as it can be utilized more than some basics. Helps empowered to the skills you have, shows in 5th level.

• You add your Intelligence Modifier to all Necrotic Damage, Necromancy Spells and Healing you use.
• Undead you create and control are able to be healed by abilities and spells that even restrict Undead.
• Undead you create and control gain multiattack and are able to attack an amount of times equal to half of your proficiency bonus (minimum of 2).

Necrotic Brawler

9th-Level Mortis Puppeteer Feature
Reaching 9th level is where you decided to spice things up compare to the usual School of Necromancy wielder. You gain the following benefits:

Reanimator. You know and prepare the spell Animate Undead. You are able to cast this spell a number of times equal to half of your proficiency bonus.
Undead Adjustments. You are resistant to necrotic damage, immune to the frightened and poisoned conditions and your hit point maximum can't be reduced.
Undead Possessor. You able to possess and swap positions with undead under your control, able to attack and cast through them. It requires a Bonus Action to go in, Free Action to go back. If your body gets hurt, you immediately get sent back.
Necrosis Wielder. Your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d8 Necrotic damage and your Unarmed Strike deals 1d6 damage. Your weapons and Unarmed Strike can utilize your Intelligence Modifier for attack and damage rolls, and have all damage be Necrotic. When you deal damage with your weapons, you regain an amount of hit points equal to your Intelligence Modifier. But if you deal damage with your Unarmed Strikes, you regain 1d4 plus your Intelligence Modifier hit points.

Optionally, you can attack with your Unarmed Strike to get them into a specialized Grapple. While in this specialized Grapple, they take 1d4 plus your Intelligence Modifier in Necrotic damage while you regain the damage dealt until you let them go or they die. If they die while in your grasp, you can use a reaction to convert creature into a Skeleton or Zombie that is under your control like Animate Undead. Also depending on the size of the creature produces more Skeletons or Zombies: Medium or smaller produces one, Large produces two, Huge produces three, Garguantuan produces four. However, this ability to convert into undead can be utilized on every creature type but Construct, Elemental, Plant and Undead.

Control Undead

15th-Level Mortis Puppeteer Feature
You figure out the specialized technique of School of Necromancy Wizards at 15th level. As an action, you can choose one undead that you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your Spell DC. If it succeeds, you can't use this feature on it again. If it fails, it becomes friendly to you and obeys your commands, you are only able to do it with two undead and they are allies, until you use this feature again on a third, losing both at once. They count towards the number of your Intelligence Modifier you can handle but they don't require a Concentration Check to keep them in check.

Intelligent undead are harder to control in this way. If the target has an Intelligence of 8 or higher, it has advantage on the saving throw. If it fails the saving throw and has an Intelligence of 12 or higher, it can repeat the saving throw at the end of every hour until it succeeds and breaks free.
