Useful Info

Necromancers are evil casters of Necromancy and Conjurations, often found surrounded by undead minions.

Spell Set A: Bolt of Cold (3d18), Bolt of Draining (3d15), Animate Dead, Teleport Self

Spell Set B: Bolt of Fire (3d18), Pain (d13), Invisibility, Animate Dead, Blink

Tips & Tricks

  • They are often found in vaults filled with simulacrum. Watch out for any that have multiple attacks (hydras for instance), especially if you lack cold resistance.
  • Don't underestimate the punch of their various Bolt spells.
  • Try not to create any high-level corpses around them; they can animate a dead unique just as easily as you.
