• (a) a scholar’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack

Fleshcraft

Starting at 1st level, you forming the essence of a creature that has died within the last hour into a protective barrier. As an action, you can touch a creature that has recently died,
and you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier + your necromancer level (minimum of 1).

Spellcasting

As a student of dark magic, you have a necronomicon containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the necromancer spell list.

Spell Slots

The Necromancer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your necromancer spells of 1st through 5th level.
The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your necromancer spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, when you are 5th level, you have four 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell Witch Bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

At 1st level, you know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the necromancer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Necromancer table shows when you learn more necromancer spells of your choice of 1st level or higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new necromancer spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the necromancer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the necromancer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your necromancer spells, since you learn spells from dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spell casting 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.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +

your Intelligence modifier

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 necronomicon.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your necromancer spells.

Undead Servitude

Your undead servant gains a variety of benefits while it is in your servitude.

• Your servant takes it immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on it's turn is the Dodge action. Unless, you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in its stat block, or the Dash, Disengage, or Help action.
• Your servant uses your proficiency bonus (PB) rather than its own for the attacks, saves and skills which it is proficient in.

Necromantic Vitality

You can repair the necromantic energy that fuels your undead servant allowing it to serve you longer. You learn the mending cantrip, which doesn't count against the number of necromancer cantrips you know. If you already know the mending cantrip choose another necromancer cantrip instead.

If you cast the mending spell on your undead servant, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has been slain within the last hour, as an action you can re-animate it, provided you are within
5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot. The undead servant re-animates back into your servitude after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new undead servant. If you already have an undead servant from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The undead servant also perishes if you die.

Bone Guard

Bone Guards are servants that specialize in protection and holding the front line. As the Bone Guard grows and evolves it becomes able to assist allies and cripple foes in order to assist its master to the most of its abilities. The Bone Guard can use your necromantic magic to grow a long sword like limb and bone armor. See its game statistic in the Bone Guard stat block.

Carrion Maiden

At 14th level, as a bonus action, your servant grabs hold of a creature and encases both of them in a cabinet with sharp bone spikes on its interior. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell DC or take 3d8 piercing damage and be restrained. The creature can use its action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (its choice) against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.

Once you use this feature you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Knowledge of a Past Life

Beginning at 2nd level, your undead servant's knowledge of its past battles has taught it how to gain the upper hand. When your servant uses the Help action and an ally attacks that target, your undead servant can also make an attack against that target.

Necrotic Strikes

At 6th level, the reaver’s attacks now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Contamination

At 6th level, the reaver can release the necrotic energy fueling, causing it to impairing its targets capabilities. As a bonus action, a creature within 10 feet of the reaver can make a Constitution save against your spell DC. On failure the creature takes 2d4 necrotic damage and has disadvantage on its next attack roll. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and the effect does not trigger.

Evasion

Starting at 10th level, your undead servant can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects.
