NECROMANCER

The Necromancers of the Conclave are regarded as dark and vile creatures;
heartless, soulless magi whose presence and talents are scarcely tolerated
by the rest of their clan.  They wield frightening power over death itself,
and have been often spotted doting over corpses, harvesting pieces of the
body for use in their dark Art.  

Necromancers are a special reclass, available only to those mages who choose
to join the Conclave.  The Necromancers are generally evil, though not
necessarily so, and despite rumor and legend, generally associate amiably
with the rest of the wizardly classes.  The nature of their Art requires
that they distance themselves somewhat from people; after all, one never
knows when one's best friend would make an excellent corpse host.  

The school of Necromancy is by far the most powerful and most costly of the
specialized magicks.  Necromancers suffer terrible physical deformities and
disabilities, and find themselves often unable to sleep, their nights
terrorized by nightmare dreams and memories from beyond death.  They receive
precious little physical boon from leveling, and are severely limited in
weapon selection.  Nevertheless, with the ability to conjure entire armies
of lifeless soldiers to fight for them, they are far from a helpless lot.
