Description
This mod requires OdinCore - Mod Services to use.

Whilst the forces of nature maintain the balance of life and death, Necromancers relish in tipping the scales in either direction. This mod overhauls all existing Necromancer skills, as well as adding plenty of new ones, to deliver a truly terrifying Necromancer skill tree!

"Death is merely a state waiting to be undone..."

Also available on Nexus Mods![www.nexusmods.com]

Version 1.1.0 (Read the Patch Notes here!)

Playstyle
Magic schools in Divinity: Original Sin 2 have been designed to facilitate user creativity of playstyles and builds; this Necromancer Overhaul is no exception. With the enhancements made to all Necromancer skills, along with the introduction of over 15 brand-new skills, this overhaul bolsters the creativity of Sourcerers. Although magic schools are essentially an open book, I have identified 4-key playstyles I think you’ll all enjoy:

  • Gravecaller
    The Gravecallers know that death is just a state, waiting to be undone. Their ability to blur the line between life and death allow them to raise corpses as minions.
  • Hexen
    Armed with powerful buffs and debuffs, the Hexen strive to protect the coven at all costs.
  • Bloodtide
    Masters of Sanguimancy, the Bloodtide sacrifice their own vitality to inflict devastating attacks onto their prey.
  • Deathlord
    Beyond dying, the Deathlord sustains on life steal effects whilst corrupting their foes.

Build cards found in the image gallery at the top of this mod page give some high-level pointers into how to utilise these playstyles effectively. My personal favourite is the Bloodtide, a self-damaging mage with a penchant for mayhem.

There are many skills in this class overhaul, so I have made an online document containing all of the skill descriptions. Please click the link below to access it.

Skills

You may have noticed some skills from Divinity: Original Sin EE making a return with some additional effects, such as Oath of Desecration and Horrific Scream. I thought it was about time to bring back some old favourites to provide new and interesting build paths.

Additionally, as a comprehensive overhaul, this mod also reworks a lot of the basegame Necromancer spells, and I have compiled these changes into a doc:


New Necromancer Weapons

As with my other overhauls, I have added some new Intelligence-based melee weapons to bolster close-combat playstyles. Although there are currently no new weapon skills to accompany them, the new weapons will be a welcome addition to any team composition.



The new weapon types include: Physical Wands and Physical Staves, both of which provide a small boost to Life Steal in exchange for raw damage.


Drana, the Dark Artist is an expert in dark magic, and she is able to sell the party skillbooks. Drana also sells crafted skillbooks at levels 5 and 13. She may be found throughout the game in various locations:
  • Fort Joy:
    • Next to the tent west of the Fort's initial entrance, in front of a fish rack.
    • On a small shore, behind the tent next to the altar in Armadia's Sanctuary.
  • Reaper's Coast:
    • Aboard the Lady Vengeance. She is next to a ladder to the rear crows nest.
    • Outside the entrance to Driftwood Fishworks.
  • Nameless Isle: On the landing shore as you arrive.
  • Arx: In the West section of the market square, outside the Toymaker's Shop.

Basegame Necromancer vendors also stock the new non-crafted skills and weaponry, and the new vendors can be toggled on/off whenever you like using the Odinomicon mod settings menu from OdinCore.

Unearth corpse does not unearth a corpse for me as well. Please fix the bug if possible.

unearth corpse doesn't unearth a corpse?

what does "intact corpse" mean, when i cast summon undead assassin on a corpse the only thing that happens is that the corpse turns in to a pile of bones or body parts

Nice mod

I'd love this mod if the trainers couldn't potentially erase my entire inventory and reset my character. I mean for solo play I can just avoid it but for local multiplayer with the kids they can accidentally do it just trying to rush through the dialogue tree.

And really it keeps them from feeling like they belong in the game. This stuff would all fit seamlessly otherwise like it had always been there, but because of that character reset offered by all the skill vendors it doesn't.
Only eng?

Can I use this in an existing save?

I wonder, is there any chance that we might see a warfare or summoner overhaul by you as well, or are they excluded for a reason?

What do I do about the game crashing everytime I use ephemeral interlude on the Kraken?
