Necromancy?

[Sholynyk]

Ive been looking online and am trying to figure out if necromancy is going to be implemented in a satisfying way?

[Tomatokek]

it will be a subclass of wizard. You will be able to create zombies from slain enemies along with some other necrotic spells. You can also play a spore druid and create clickers basically from the last of us.

dont know if its satisfying for you but its confirmed that necromancy is in the game

I am interested in how it will be implemented Roleplaying wise as well.

If I walk into Baldur's Gate with an army of Skeletons is anyone gonna say anything?

You know... I'm really curious what the reaction of NPCs will be when you revive someone they're mourning as a skeleton or zombie? I think I'm gonna have one playthrough like that at some point where I just defile every corpse people are mourning. I'd imagine there's gonna be plenty of such situations.

Necromancy is a school of magic for Wizards. If D&D 5e's necromancy isn't satisfying to you, then, well, it won't be here.

The max character level in BG3 is 12, so you won't get the "Command Undead" ability.

They have made creative changes towards a lot of the classes, im just wondering if there has been something said about the necromancer class.

Even so with the animate dead, are we going to be able to control the skeletons for the entire day? or is it going to be a 1 minute spell duration? so many questions about its implementation

could u go necromancy and druid get double buffs for pets?

[KingOfFriedChicken]

it gets out of hand if you do it right cuz a zombie kills or the target dies in 1 turn of being attacked by a zombie they turn into a zombie and they had no limit on the amount so one could control as many as the engine can handle without crashing lol idk if they will change that but its tricky to get a murder of zombies cuz their lower stats and only 22 hp.

Unfortunately you can't really get an undead army going until around level 5 when you get access to Animate Dead, or level 6 for spore druid, so early game necromancer is going to feel lame

coudl u roll both, and get both benifits or would fighter be a better choice to buff minions?

Does "animate dead" spell in this game just summon skeleton warrior from air like pathfinder or it require corpse to raise undead?
