# Necromancer
Robes billowing around him, a human stands atop a hill watching legions of unholy march towards a city in the dead of a night. As the front lines reach the gates an alarm goes off within the city, but it was too late. The city is surrounded, and there’s no help coming.

With her scythe cutting through the last stalk of wheat, an elf wipes the sweat from her brow and takes a moment to observe her undead friends in front of her, all with scythes cutting wheat themselves. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices a ghoul shambling over a nearby hill. With a quick glare from the elf, the ghoul stops and turns around, reporting to her that there is an army following it. The elf takes off running with what wheat she has and the skeletons follow her.

A halfling kneels behind a column at the dead body of his best friend, a dwarf. Crying, he reaches out to the body and mutters disdainfully. He asks out loud if his friend would lend him his strength so that one of them might be able to live. After a few seconds, his friend stands up once again and charges a nearby goblin, buying the halfling just enough time to get away. He runs back to town just in time to warn them of the coming goblin horde.

Necromancers channel the power of life and death. They may be weak themselves, but they make up for it by surrounding themselves with undead minions that they control as if they were an extension of the necromancer’s own body. Necromancy is not something people undertake lightly, as a false step in the wrong company may cause one to lose their head.

### Undead Minions
Necromancers exert control over undead creatures as if they were part of the same creature. Unlike hordes of wild undead, the undead controlled by a necromancer act as one unit, often running or shambling to each other’s aid when a member of the horde is injured or destroyed.

### A Life of Consequences
Necromancers don't have the best history with people. Though the large majority of necromancers merely want to help people, whether it be in communicating with dead family members or overthrowing tyrannical kings, evil necromancers are by far more well known for the occasional invasion of a peaceful city, which people do not tend to take kindly to.
A necromancer must always be careful of his company, because while some people will seek to understand his intentions, just as many will ignore them altogether in the assumption he is pure evil.

### Creating a Necromancer
The most important thing to consider when creating a necromancer are the reasons you became a necromancer. Were you driven to the edge when someone you love was killed or did an oppressive government lead to your seeking rebellion? Either way, a necromancer is often misunderstood by those around them.

### Spellcasting
As an adept of dark arts, you have a Grimoire containing Spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.

#### Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the necromancer spell list. You learn additional necromancer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Necromancer table.

#### Grimoire
At 1st level, you have a Grimoire containing six 1st-level necromancer spells of your choice. Your Grimoire is the repository of the necromancer spells you know, except your cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.

\columnbreak

#### Preparing and Casting Spells

The Necromancer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of necromancer spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of necromancer spells from your Grimoire equal to your Intelligence modifier + your necromancer level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you're a 3rd-level necromancer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your Grimoire. If you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

\pagebreakNum

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of necromancer spells requires time spent studying your Grimoire and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

#### Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Necromancer Spells, so you use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when Setting the saving throw DC for a Necromancer spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.

#### Ritual Casting
You can cast a Necromancer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your Grimoire. You don't need to have the spell prepared.

#### Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your necromancer spells.

#### Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher

Each time you gain a Necromancer level, you can add two Necromancer spells of your choice to your Grimoire. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Necromancer table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your Grimoire

In combat, they act right after your turn. You can direct the actions of all undead creatures under your control that you can see as an action on your turn, and they will attempt to execute your last orders to the best of their ability.

You also innately know the general direction and distance of all your Restless Servants. You can maintain control of your minions as long as they are within 1 mile of you. If they leave this 1 mile radius, they leave your control and act as a wild undead creatures.

The frightened target can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success the target suffers no effects and is immune to this feature for next 24 hours.

> ## Balance Thoughts
> Unfortunately, having multiple creatures under your control in 5th edition of D&D can be very unbalanced. Even though i have tried to balance it as much as i could without ruining fun of playing with more than 2-3 minions, this class can possibly break the balance of the game, if a player tries to maximally optimize it. I **STRONGLY** recommend to forbid multiclassing with or into this class

If you infused your Phylactery with your own flesh, you can cast on yourself *disguise self* spell at will and without concentration, but you make yourself look only exactly you looked like before the ritual. You cant cast this spell, if your *Phylactery* was destroyed.

#### Phylactery
Your phylactery is a special object which holds
and safeguards a lich’s soul. In order to craft this wondrous item, you must spend 1d10+2 days and
6,000 gp. This cost covers the gems, precious
metals, incense, and alchemical reagents needed
in crafting the phylactery and brewing the Potion
of Transformation.

Your phylactery can be a small
jewel-encrusted box, a gemstone with pulsating
runes, one of the other items mentioned above,
or any other treasure a lich can dream up for
their eternal existence.

After creating it, you may
not travel to the outer planes as your soul is
tethered by your phylactery.

Should you be reduced to zero hit points and
die, your lich body crumbles to dust and, in
1d10 days, it reforms within 10 feet of your
phylactery. Your phylactery must be intact in
order for you to return. If your phylactery has
been destroyed, you do not reform and you
cannot be brought back only by a *Wish* Spell.

Similarly,
a phylactery caught in an area of antimagic, such
as one created by the *Antimagic Field* spell,
cannot reform its lich. That lich is trapped inside
their phylactery until it is removed or the field
dissipates.

Your phylactery is tiny, has 40 hit points, it is
immune to poison and psychic damage, and it
has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and
slashing damage from non-magical attacks.

Whenever the Phylactery is destroyed, you can survive for 1d10+10 days, before your lich body will be turned to ashes. In such way, you can only be ressurected by a **Wish** spell.

> ##### Lich Form and Phylactery
> Changing creature type of a PC can be greatly unbalanced in some Campaigns. Speak with DM, will there be any problems with changing the type?
>Also, your DM can make couple of quests to achieve required ingredients for the Ritual, instead of a gold price. 
><br>
>Remember, Liches are dangerous, vile creatures. They are the strongest undead being, if someone will recognize you as a Lich, bewaree, as you will be hunted almost everyone, especially Paladin Orders, such as *Silver Flame* or others.
> <br>
>**DM Note** - You can ignore or change the effect, that restricts Lich Player traveling through other planes, if it is necessary for you campaign
