Necromancy?

[rtothereeves]

Can you create a Necromancer?

No :(

However, there are spells or skills in which you can summon additional characters, such as a bear, skeletons, etc. But there is no such path itself.

Oddly, though, necromancy IS acknowledged to exist and be it's own thing, in this world.

I think it's more like being Frankenstein than a fantasy necromancer though

Not something you can pull out mid combat

Hmmm, i see. Thank you all.

Nah, that's more what the Animancers do. I'd say, in terms of lore, the Animancers are the Re-animator/Frankenstein types, and Necromancers are (likely) the more classic magic-using fantasy types. I say this 'cause, although Necromancers are said to exist, we never SEE one.

It should have been a wizard subclass in Pillars 2. But then, there should have been a LOT of things in Pillars 2 that weren't. Hiravias, for one. And more impact from Pillars 1 choices.
