## Class Features
As a necromancer, you gain the following class features.
#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d6 per necromancer level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 6 + your Constitution modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Level:** 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per necromancer level after 1st
#### Proficiencies

- **Weapons:** Daggers, darts, slings, quarterstaffs, light crossbow
- **Tools:** none
___

- **Skills:** Choose two from Arcana, Investigation, Performance, Perception, Medicine, Insight, Survival
#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- *(a)* a quarterstaff or *(b)* a dagger
- *(a)* a component pouch or *(b)* an arcane focus
- *(a)* a scholar’s pack or *(b)* an explorer’s pack
- Leather armor and a necronomicon
### 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.
#### Cantrips
You know three cantrips of your choice from the necormancer spell list. You learn additional necromancer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Necromancer table.
#### 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.

# Credits
In this section I like to give credit to the ones who help me create and test my homebrew material, as well as all the artists whose artwork inspired me. As I believe it is important for them to be recognized for their creativity to inspire through visuals or seeing just how far they can push a character to the point of no return. So thank you for all that you have done.
## Testers
A special thanks to the creative minds that helped me create and test this class. Without you I would never have done any of this.
