Apothecary vs Necromancer

[Caine]

What's the difference? It won't tell me when I hover over it. I can't buy any Necromancers, so is it infinite?

Necromancer won't heal your players. He transforms enemy players you killed into undead for your team. I'm not at all sure, but if I remember, Necromancers get Zombies, Undead and Khemri get Skeletons.
So you need to rely on Regeneration a lot (and you could buy Igor with Incentives, he lets you reroll 1 Regeneration during the match)

An apothecary can only be used in teams who do not have any REGEN skilled players in it.

Necromancers are deemed to be the head coach for the Undead and Necro. I dont believe Khemri teams benefit. They serve only one purpose, the first player on the enemy team to DIE and not be saved by an apothecary, can be resurrected to be a new zombie for the Necromancers team. Its a Zombie for both Undead and Necro teams, The player if memory serves must not be STR 5+, have REGEN or have the STUNTY skill. But I might be confusing that with Nurgles Rot which works similar.

REGEN teams can buy Igors if they are going to receice inducements, or choose to pump their own treasury for inducements, it allows for one REGEN reroll per Igor per game, I think you can have 2 in your team.

Normally you can only have 1 apothecary, but again in the inducements I believe you can hire wandering apothecaries...to bolster your medical staff

Actually, playing with the Undead team (not Necro), everytime I kill someone I get a skeleton...
Necro get zombies though.

Undead should give you a zombie. I've never gotten a skeleton via necromancer.

Happened to me twice. Don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but I know it's not meant by the rules

The real problem (against other players) is that they tend to use an apothicary to negate results of Dead. And it's hard enough killing one player, let alone 3 or 4. :)
