Who needs friends when you can make them?! The Necromancer is the MC of the undead! The buddy to Bone Golems! The supreme Skeletal sergeant! And just when the party seems like it's dying down, who resurrects it so that you can't stop, won't stop the Deadman's Party?! Wielding a macabre grin, the Necromancer is mischievous, eager to summon chaos wherever he goes. He gathers “spare parts” on his Corpse Dial, turning the remnants of battle into fuel for something far more sinister. From this collection, he raises an ever growing army of undead to fight in his place, overwhelming his enemies through sheer inevitability. He afflicts foes with Decrepify, weakening their strength and limiting their rerolls until their options wither away. Even death is not an end for him, as Resurrect allows him to return when fate should have claimed him. Against the Necromancer, victory is never certain, and defeat is rarely final. —description from the publisher
