New HeroClass: Necromancer

[sadkitchen]

I was thinking that the benifits of the Mantle would be a trade off, because he can't wear the wizard's cloak while wearing it. So the necro would loose a personal defense point while his creations would be stronger. Might be better to just give a bonus to attack or defense. I don't know. Haven't tried any of them yet. (and it's going to be a while before I get to test anymore.) Also, on a completly unrelated note, how did I become a goblin?

Well, my Conjurer doesn't have the Wizards Cloak, as he aint a true Wizard, so the Mantle could apply, perhaps whilst in that particular room or corridor.

Look at Ken. He's an Ogre chieftain. Though I think he spends more time eating jumbolaya...

OK so I have developed a set of spells for my Conjure-Upper(thats what Puck calls him), using some of SadKitchen's ideas.

Vial of Blood. The conjurer may use this blood instead of paying one body point to raise a Zombie (in my case). Use Sir Ragnars Blood, of course.

Unholy Summons. The Conjurer can spend one body point to summon a Skeleton. The Skel can move & attack immediately.

Undead Mantle. All undead creatures you have raised can roll one extra dice in attack & defence, until you are injured

Unspeakable Consummation. Cast this spell on one monster in line of sight. He is consumed by Bears Bile. Roll one dice in defence.

Fog of War. Cast this spell on one monster, line of sight, he immediately attacks his nearest friend. However, you must roll one red dice before the attack. If a 6 he attacks the nearest Hero.

Healing potion. Cast this spell on any one Hero, restores 4 body points. ( I mentally tossed a coin for this potion, one of El_Flesh Margaritas, or another vial of Sir Ragnars Blood ? Had to be the blood, of course).

was thinking of a vaguely necromantic weapon to make, knew what i wanted it to do but wasn't sure how to do it, came up with this - its a bit different.

Now, I can see where you are going with this, good bit of Lateral Thinking
I like it, might well use it, see where it goes.
How long should the Sythe spell last ? Does it need a limit, such as until the Necro loses a Body or Mind Point ? One full Heroes turn ?

[Tott]

you mean how long does the soul shard last? until its spent. As monsters die you build up stones, then spend em as you like.

Sorry, my mistake, didn't read your first properly, took it to be a spell.

After further contemplation, this could be a serious weapon in the hands of one of Mentors' Necromancers. How about a quest built round him ? Might even call him El_Flesh (is that ok old buddy)? Give him a Bodyguard of Pinko Skels, stronger than the average. I am really getting into this. No looking, Puck
