Pets, Combat Pets?

A ranger, druid, beast master or even a necromancer would be nice. Of course need to set it up right. For example, a necro cant just get a pet out thin air or ground unless there a skeleton remains or corpse.

Keep it well fed, playing, etc. The sad parts, some of you guys gonna be upset if your pet dies.

There actually is necromancy. If you have the four winds magic skill 'Conjure', you can use it on a soul made from Reveal Soul to summon a ghost for a few minutes.

Actually they die in combat long before they expire naturally on my spellcaster. I rarely have to worry about the timer running out unless I've gone back to town or rested.

And having played a lot of necromancers on Skyrim as well, I'd say that's basically the same. Though it's less like skyrim's necromancy and more like skyrim's summoning, but with the requirement of a human corpse.

edit: Now, that said, I wouldn't mind more options with this regard. There's a lot of questionable gaps in Outward's spell combos in general. Currently Conjure + fire or ice sigil does nothing. It'd be cool to get some kind of elemental summon from those.

There's a mod that adds in a necromancy tree. But yeah, it would be better if it was in the game naturally.
